[Gdal-dev] Quickly generating Google Earth files

[Christopher Condit]

Hi Jose-
There isn't anything that I know of to accomplish this presently, but you could probably cook something up fairly easily to parse a world file and generate a simple KML file pointing to the raster. Just remember that Google Earth wants EPSG:4326 so if your raster is in some other projection you'll have to warp the coordinates accordingly...

Hi,
I know there's a GSoC project dealing with a full-fledged GDAL KML driver. I take it that this will enable to quickly publish things like the datasets shown in <http://www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/sspp/geography/research/emm/geodata/>.

We have heaps of raster-based information, and it would be interesting to see if we can serve it through a kmz file, as in the examples above. While I understand the new driver will allow that sort of thing, I was wondering whether it is possible to do something similar as of today, with a current version of GDAL.

Any hints or comments?
Cheers!
