We've added two great new KML articles to code.google.com.
First, we've added a new article on "Time and Animation" to our "Topics in KML" series. The ability to associate geospatial elements with temporal data was added about a year ago to Google Earth 4.0, but this is the first extensive article we've published about time in KML. It includes information on using TimeStamp
, TimeSpan
, and animation of 3D models in Google Earth.
Second, we've published a guest article by Valery Hronusov, from Perm State University in Russia, "Using KML in Google Mashup Editor." He shows how you can easily include a KML file in a Google Mashup Editor project to create a Google Maps mashup. Valery is a long-time KML developer who has produced a lot of innovative work. Most recently, he helped found Pict'Earth, which combines advanced image acquisition products and services. Check out some of their amazing imagery.
