Base64 encode icon in Google Earth
Overlays (screen overlay, ground overlay, etc.) and icon images via Style references in KML are referenced only as URLs either absolute or relative not as inline base64-encoded content which is allowed in other XML standards. Icon Style example with absolute URL: <Style> <IconStyle> <Icon> <href>http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/pal3/icon21.png</href> </Icon> </IconStyle> </Style> Ground Overlay...
Algorithm to calculate speed from kml track gps co-ordinates
android,gps,geolocation,kml,kmz
I think the problem comes of small inaccuracy in the GPS logs. As you take points that are very close from each other (30 - 60 meters) a small variation can nearly double the speed. I believe you could clean your data this way: public double calculateSpeed(Location prev, Location curr,...
GWT GoogleMaps: Display KML Name on Map
java,google-maps,gwt,google-maps-api-3,kml
For anybody stumbling upon this question, what I eventually ended up doing was using Google's chart API: https://developers.google.com/chart/image/docs/gallery/dynamic_icons This allows you to dynamically create images using arguments passed into a URL. Then you can just use that URL to create a MarkerImage or GroundOverlay: MarkerImage mi = MarkerImage.create("http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chst=d_text_outline&chld=000000|16|h|FFFFFF|_|Example"); MarkerOptions mo...
