[MapProxy] KML in Google Maps

[Keith Moss]

Oliver,

Here's the set of requests that Google Maps is doing to MapProxy: https://gist.github.com/keithamoss/13493e97b7fc4e38a29c

The initial set were for the entire globe, then I gradually zoomed in 5 levels to Australia. As you'll see, it seems to not request tiles beyond zoom level 3. Those last 30 or so should be levels 4 - 5.

Here's the console output for the requests - quite a few 500 errors - https://gist.github.com/keithamoss/5ad09d924abcc2056f96 which correlates with a bunch of these errors in the MapProxy log files

2013-08-19 09:56:57,163 - WARNING - mapproxy.source.wms - expected image response, got: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<!DOCTYPE ServiceExceptionReport SYSTEM "http://schemas.opengis.net/wms/1.1.1/exception_1_1_1.dtd">
<ServiceExceptionReport version="1.1.1">
  <ServiceException code="InvalidFormat">
Parameter 'width' contains unacceptable value.
  </ServiceException>
</ServiceExceptionReport>

I've attached a screenshot of what the initial view looks like where you can see the tiles that didn't load properly and the odd issue with Western Australia behind shifted a way to the north.

Google Maps doesn't - as far as I know - support network links.

I can setup a private map for you to test with if that would help.

Cheers,

Keith

I have never tested the KML service in Google Maps. Does Google Maps support network links? Does it requests any kml files other than the initial one? Do you see any errors on the web developer console of you browser (like Firebug)?

Regards,
Oliver
