[GeoNetwork-devel] Integrating Google Earth and GeoNetwork's interactive mapping interface. [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Hockaday_John · July 18, 2007, 5:57am

Hi All,

Has anyone tried to integrate Google earth with GeoNetwork's interactive map
interface? We are getting a lot of people in our organisation saying how
fantastic Google Earth is. I think it's because they can see an image of
their own house on the internet using the satellite imagery that Google Earth
uses. Hence people want to see that stuff as a back drop in the interactive
mapping interface.

Personally I think it is a bit too much of the "shiny objects syndrome" but
we can't afford to buy the satellite imagery and people keep on asking for
Google Earth functionality. Hence the question about using the Google Earth
satellite imagery as a back drop in the interactive mapping interface? I
know we will have to pay Google Earth for using it but it is probably cheaper
than buying the satellite imagery.

Thanks.

Hi John, I don't know if there are plans to put googleearth background map
on the intermap component ... anyway another option could be to use
openlayers instead.
On basic demo of the integration of openlayers into GeoNetwork is available
here (basic functionality only):
http://dev.sandre.eaufrance.fr/gnopenlayers/
Here is openlayers in action with google earth.

Francois,

Would you mind to explain shortly how to integrate the openlayer into GN?
I'd like to test it...

Hi al,
The intent is to integrate OpenLayers in InterMap in the coming months.
Concerning Google Earth as a layer, that would indeed need a formal agreement with Google. It would be nice if that would be allowed as part of an open source package, although I'm not sure they would ever agree to that. Otherwise, once OpenLayers has been integrated, a configuration on individual servers to include the GE layer could be fairly easy. It depends on getting the formal agreement with Google.
My 2 cents, ciao,
Jeroen
