[Wikitech-l] Maps/Semantic Maps - KML visualisation status

2011-08-31 Thread Benedikt Kämpgen 
Hi Jeroen,

I have seen that you released new versions of Maps/Semantic Maps, great,
thanks!

Could you please give me some information about the current status of KML
visualisation in Maps/Semantic Maps?

With the current version, I haven't been able to visualise KML files,
although mentioned [1].

[1] http://mapping.referata.com/wiki/Google_Maps_v3 

For 7.x I had added support for automatic centering and external/internal
KML files. Do they still work?

It would be great if you could give me some pointers. Or maybe I can help
you improving the KML support.

Best,

Benedikt

Hey,

 Could you please give me some information about the current status of KML
visualisation in Maps/Semantic Maps?

The latest release of Maps only has experimental support for KML. The
upcoming 1.0.3 release will have better support for KML (and Google Earth!),
which is already in place, and which I'll document soonish (before the
release).

 For 7.x I had added support for automatic centering and external/internal
KML files. Do they still work?

These improvements made on the 0.7.x branch are not compatible with trunk,
and are also made for Google Maps v2, which I'm not longer supporting
(although you can still use it with the latest version of Maps). The current
code on trunk does have support for automatically adjusting the zoom level
so all KML overlays can be seen on the map.

 Or maybe I can help you improving the KML support.

I'd like to release 1.0.3 before any real changes are made, so if you want
to add in functionality, I'll hurry up and get 1.0.3 released :)

In any case, the JS doing the KML stuff is in the function on line 108 here:
