osmgoogleearth in svn is outdated (API 0.4, IIRC) and has been replaced by osmlib (http://osmlib.rubyforge.org/) which includes the export tool osmexport. Both are by Jochen Topf. Osmexport can convert one OSM file into one KML file according to rules you specify. Obviously, converting planet.osm to planet.kml and serving that to the Google Earth-using public is impossible. What I've done is an experiment in subdividing the data into tiles and serving these as separate KML files, which are loaded dynamically as you move around in Google Earth. I hope this clears things up. Cheers Robert _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
