Subject: Using Mike Willaiam's GPolygon.contains() method with KML and geocoding
Reply | Reply to author | Forward | Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author
I am very interested in Mike's examples of finding if a point is
within/not within a GPolygon. I am wondering if it could be adapted to
use a kml file instead of a xml file, and to test whether an address
that gets geocoded can be tested instead of a click.

I have no code yet, but Mike's examples of this method are here:

http://econym.org.uk/gmap/example_inside.htm
http://econym.org.uk/gmap/example_states.htm

What do you all think? Would this be possible?

Sure.  Just don't use GGeoXml to display the polygon.

I just converted the KML to an XML. It's working now.

KML is XML...

If you were trying to serve it from your server, your server probably
doesn't know how to serve kml.

(my server doesn't know the .kml extension, so to get it to serve kml
content, I have to change the extension to .xml)

Yes, I know kml is xml. However, the states.xml in Mike's example,
each lat,lng point is in it's own <point> tag, and in the kml ALL the
coords are in one huge <coordinates> tag, with an altitude parameter
in there, too.

I just converted the kml structure to the more simple xml structure to
at least find out if my idea would work. Now that I know it does work,
I can attempt to make it read the kml structure instead.
Thank you for your help. :-)
Will
