GeoTIFF or GeoPDF support

[randymajors]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to incorporate GeoTIFF or GeoPDF files into a Google Map using the Google Maps API?

(These are files used by the USGS and others for topo map scans, for example).

Thanks for any advice or examples.

I recommend converting the GeoTIFF to web mercator tiles using gdal2tiles or MapTiler (http://www.maptiler.org/).

You can then use an ImageMapType to display it as a base map or as an overlay on top of Google's roadmap/satellite imagery.

MapTiler is pretty nice, it will generate sample implementations (albeit V2 - easy to port to V3).

You can see an example of ImageMapType with the Google I/O indoor map:

Hi Chris,

Is there a link to the code used for the first link that you provided? I'm interested in just a pure js, css, html implementation of this, and the source code on http://www.google.com/events/io/2011/embed.html is not very human friendly.
