[mapguide-users] Google Maps and KML Support

[Jason Birch]

Hi Brad,

For Google Earth and Google Maps, I think that the best approach will be
a composite one with scale-dependant format choices.  Important
foreground features when you're zoomed in can be rendered as KML
features, while background layers can be sent as ground overlays
(images).  The new Region tag makes this pretty seamless in Earth; not
sure if these are supported in Maps yet.

If you haven't seen it yet, I posted a method for efficiently publishing
WMS to Google Earth 4 in my blog:

Andy, could you please confirm what you have done?  Are you using
mapguide open source to create kml files that google maps and google
earth can read?
If so, what happens if your kml files start to get very big ie over
20megs. 
Shouldn't we be using wms with google?
thanks
