[edit] Showing Sites on Google Earth

This file has a few records with lat's and lon's: balloons_minimal.csv

name,desc,lat,lon
place 1,hello [[name]] at [[lat]] [[lon]], 40,-90
place 2,hello [[name]] at [[lat]] [[lon]], 35,-80

The mandatory columns are name, lat and lon.

The 'desc' column contains either a url to a html snippet or the description text. It can have macros that are replaced with data from other columns.

This service turns that into KML

Parameters:

  • name: name to the left side layer tree view
  • data: pointer to a table file, that contains the records.

Using html snippets to create more advanced displays:

Here's more advanced data:

name,source_href,source_desc,lat,lon
place 1,http://place1.com, place 1 desc,40,-90
place 2,http://place2.com, place 2 desc,35,-80

This file has an url and descriptor for every site.

Here is the site html snippet

<p><a href="[[source_href]]">[[source_desc]]</a></p>

The snippet uses columns source_href and source_desc in macros.

The sites also use a header snippet

The full uri to create KML is here.

Parameters:

  • format: use kml or kmz
  • name: name to the left side layer tree view
  • snippet: short description in the tree view
  • maxlines: short description lines
  • desc: url to document header
  • pen: border color
