This project is a KML parser for use with Google Maps Javascript API Version 3.

This API is specifically designed to be about the creation of collapsible tree based layer control.

Original code inspired by: * Lance Dyas geoxml project at: http://code.google.com/p/geoxml/ * Sterling Udell geoxml3 project at: http://code.google.com/p/geoxml3/

History:

General Notes: The focus is all about the displaying the contents in the side bar! As a result there are many different configuration options.

Support includes: polylines, polygons, markers, customizeable icons, and multiple kml files. KML Multi-Geometries are supported with an option to have simple circles for points instead of markers.

The optional dragzoom button on the map requires keydragzoom.js or keydragzoom_packed.js see http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com

Warnings: This Api does not contain any support of Google Maps Version 2. Also the larger number of placemarks and shapes will result in slower loading! Currently only a single Bubble is repeatedly used and there are no plans for multiple bubbles.

KmlMapParser is subject to the same cross-domain download restrictions as any Javascript, so any KML document you expect it to process will need to be served from the same domain as the containing map page.

Examples :

1. Download the kmlExamples.zip from the Downloads tab above.

2. Copy and then unzip it in your favorite server (Tomcat, Jboss, ...).

3. Open up a browser and bring up the kmlExamples default html page ( http://localhost/kmlExamples/ )

4. This default page contains links to different examples and also an API.

Basic Usage:

1. Download KmlMapParser.js to your web site from the Source tab above.

   You may also need keydragzoom.js (see above).

2. Include it in your map page:

<script src="KmlMapParser.js"></script>

3. Instantiate and initialize the object, something like this:

var xml = new KmlMapParser({ map: map, kml: '/path/to/data.kml', });

For working examples, see the Downloads tab above for a zip file.
