[Geomoose-users] KML Files

[Brian Fischer]

GeoMOOSE doesn't support rendering KML layers on it's own, but you could use a MapServer layer type in GeoMOOSE to do this.  MapServer supports rendering KML files, see http://mapserver.org/input/vector/kml.html for more information.

Another way to do this would be to write your own javascript code to render the KML files on the client side.  OpenLayers currently support this.  This would probably be the more difficult route to go down.  http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers/Format/KML-js.html

Subject: [Geomoose-users] KML Files

Has anyone been able to use an external KML file and have it show up in GeoMoose?  I want to use the USGS monitoring stations and then have them be mapped on the web app.

I know I can create a shapefile from the stations but was hoping to have the points reflect the stages that the water levels are at.

If you have a map file and the corresponding entry for the mapbook, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Rick
