With help from some of my technical colleagues, I've managed to get mapcache 1.2.0 up and running with mapserver 6.4.0 serving some geoscientific data that otherwise take quite some time to render. This is great stuff; many thanks to the development team!
One question: I've managed to get the KML interface working reasonably well, and the one thing that I wish it could do is respond to a user click in the features by bringing up a feature information balloon or simply showing a web page, in a manner similar to the way these data work in Google Earth when loaded as vector data. I'm guessing that the NetworkLink object in KML does not give me a way to specify a data link of this type; have I understood this correctly? Is there another way to persuade Google Earth to open a given URL on click for a selected layer, passing the geographic coordinates of the point clicked in the arguments of the URL? My KML is at http://mrdata.usgs.gov/geology/state/USGS-SGMC.kml That is a NetworkLink pointing to http://mrdata.usgs.gov/mapcache/kml/[email protected] The vector renditions of the same data are at pages like http://mrdata.usgs.gov/geology/state/kml/vtgeol.kmz normally accessed through pages such as http://mrdata.usgs.gov/geology/state/state.php?state=VT Peter -- Peter N.
