Hi folks,

Tim, it's map-warper not map-wraper :-)

However you are not the first in making this mistake and I really like
"MapWrapper" the name, and a few groups in India think that this is a
better way to think about how a map wraps around the world, as opposed to
maps warping.

works nicely in google earth but the subset of kml support in google maps
is very poor, (and non existent in their new maps offering)

 The warper actually only uses GDAL  (gdalwarp and gdal_translate) to do
the transformations.
