Subject: KML from Picasa/Flickr + Route KML Mashup THANKS!
I'd like to say a big thanks for this plugin....
I finally got to where I can pilot it for a social forum site thanks
to some crafty work.
At this stage I've been able to use the custom.js file to overlay KML
streams from Picasa and flickr aswell as a KML route upload from a
GPS.

I'd love to know your thoughts on taking this plugin to the next level
allowing it to pull in attached KML files from posts and/or from URLs
dynamically?

I'm creating a GeoJournal Site where Motorcycle riders can realtime
blog about rides combined with realtime pictures uploaded to
multimedia sites. In the long run I imagine many people on holidays
would enjoy this kinda of thing.

urls speak a thousand words so http://tripjournal.metahub.com.au/bmwsafari08/main-map/
is one of the blogs I've been experimenting with.

Hey Kristoffer
I looked at your URL and it is exactly what I am looking for.
Was so frustrated that there are so manny google maps mashups out
there but none wich provides geotagging blogs, routs and pictures in
one map.
Would you be so kind and provide me with your modification files?

Kugel?
So it is pretty ugly at first, simply grab the custom-example.js rename it
custom.js and modify the code to look like this:

/**

* GeoMashup customization example

*

* The filename must be custom.js for customizations to take effect.

* You can edit the example and delete customizations you don't want.

* If you know javascript, you can add your own customizations.

*

* The old custom-marker.js from pre 1.0 versions of Geo Mashup is no longer
used.

*/

function customizeGeoMashup(mashup) {

// Use a different marker icon

mashup.marker_icon = new GIcon();

mashup.marker_icon.image = "
http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_red.png";

mashup.marker_icon.shadow = "
http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_shadow.png";

mashup.marker_icon.iconSize = new GSize(12, 20);

mashup.marker_icon.shadowSize = new GSize(22, 20);

mashup.marker_icon.iconAnchor = new GPoint(6, 20);

mashup.marker_icon.infoWindowAnchor = new GPoint(5, 1);

var geoXmla;

var geoXmlb;

geoXmlb = new GGeoXml("http://tripjournal.metahub.com.au/shit.kml");

geoXmla = new GGeoXml("
http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/base/user/kristoffer.cannon/alb...
");

GeoMashup.map.addOverlay(geoXmla);

GeoMashup.map.addOverlay(geoXmlb);

GeoMashup.map.setCenter(new GLatLng(-37.148713, 147.352806), 8);

}

----EOF-----

Obvisouly it should be much more dynamic and integrated, hence my posting in
the group to find out where the plugin is going, Once I get back from my
trip I will try to write some extra/better code to allow the page or posts
to call additional KML feeds as required by the author. I admit I'm still
learning all this stuff and its a quick and dirty hack but it works and for
now the guys on the safari love it.

Also from the sounds of it Dylan has already had the idea and is working
on including the extension.

Regards
Kris

Hey Kristoffer
thanks alot for the code.
I see you upload a KML File from google earth with the rout, markers
and pictures with a FTP Programm and then embed it into the Page by
adding
geoXmlb = new GGeoXml ("http://myblog/mypath/my.kml");
to the custom.js

yeah it's dirty but I love it ;)
Thanks alot.
Will fly to swiss today. Tring to test it using only Public Internet
Cafes. (don't wanna carry my notebook in australia)

PS. Kugelblitz is german for ballightning ;)
PSS. When do you come back form your trip? I'm going to Australia in
May.

Subject: Re: KML from Picasa/Flickr + Route KML Mashup THANKS!

So the first GGeoxml call is stored .kml from google earth and just for the
route info, the second GGeoxml is actually another kml feed from picasa
which is what plots the pictures according to their exif data. I don't like
managing photos in my blog I like picasa and flickr for this sort of thing
and the fact that they feed KML out from their sites automatically is VERY
cool.

You can keep going and drawing in more KML feeds from different sources
using the method I've used, For instance you might want a KML feed from
Picasa aswell as a KML feed from flickr aswell as a KML feed that you've
uploaded into a post.
To do this you simply change the script to read:

var geoXmla;
var geoXmlb;
var geoXmlc;
geoXmlb = new GGeoXml(
http://tripjournal.metahub.com.au/bmwsafari08/files/2008/02/route.kml");
geoXmla = new GGeoXml("
http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/base/user/kristoffer.cannon/alb...
");
geoXmlc = new GGeoXml (
http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/geo/?id=12855621@N04&lang=en-us&...
);
GeoMashup.map.addOverlay(geoXmla);
GeoMashup.map.addOverlay(geoXmlb);
GeoMashup.map.addOverlay(geoXmlc);

Ofcourse The plugin keeps doing what its supposed to do which is to plot
blog posts on the map but you also get these groovy kml files plotted onto
your map at the same time.

Kugelblitz sounds much cooler than ball lightning, I am off for a 1 week
motorcycle safari and then another week wine tasting tour so return back to
canberra mid march, if your down in canberra come say g'day.

Regards
Kris
