I've got three separate data files I'm looking to display on a website
via Google Maps. The data is originally in excel files ranging from
15 to 187 entries. I then convert it to a KML format and use
javascript to open it in Google Maps. This is where I'm at, and it
works just fine.
Now I need to sort this information. A side bar would be nice,
organizing the data into some sort of structure. I want the folders
collapsible and click able at any level.
Title
|_____Subfolder
|___________Subfolder
|___________Subfolder
I would also like to apply select filters. Each data entry is
associated with 9 labels, and it can have more than one of these
labels. For example, it could be under label 1 and label number 2.
So on the sidebar, when you click label number 1 it shows all the
points with that label and when you click label 9 duplicates may
occur. Ideally these would be buttons you can press, and you can
select a combination of these buttons at the same time.
So, the sidebar I have in mind looks something like this:
Data
|_____________Subfolder
| |____________SubSubfolder
|_____________Subfolder
|_____________Subfolder
Filters
|
Filter 1
|
Filter 2
|
Filter 3
Now I have looked into KML parsing with GeoXML and it looks like an
option, but I'm wondering if there is anything more simple. Most
GeoXML examples were dynamic, pulling sidebar content live and
straight from the KML. I don't need that, the sidebar can be static
and when clicked just send a message directing the map to show those
points.
Thanks for any guidance you can offer!
Regards,
Joel
