Would you like to handle you KML file on the server side or just display it on the client? I have built one server side KML file editor that might help you. The demo server appears to be down atm, but the project sources are hosted by google: http://code.google.com/p/vkml/
thx… I’ll take a look at the google maps js injection
at the moment I’ll stay with OpenStreetMap and if all works well, I’ll try out the other maps
for the KML file: I already have built my own KML services providing kml files dynamically. (I’m using this from mobile BlackBerry devices to add KML on top of BlackBerry Map)
so - I’m thinking of adding KML on top of OpenStreetMap, something like
addKML(URI kmlFile)
another question:
normaly you can switch between different OpenStreetMap maps like the CycleMap, Mapnik, Osmarender. is this possible with your add-on ?
thx again for a great add-on - I’ll blog in detail about this as soon as my tracking example is running (will be open sourced)
The “client parsed KML” should be relatively easy feature to add. WKT layer is quite similar ( VectorLayer, populated on the client side). Would you fill an issue about this to the google code project page? Otherwise I’ll most probably forget this issue.
The same goes for different OSM representations. Adding those should be even simpler.
Thanks for all your quick response. Your rocking!!!
Need some advice. I have my KMZ/KML files containing many places(say x,y,z) and images with lat/long - while displaying “x” information want to display “x” place in Google earth client. Just want to display that particular “x” place kml file in google earth client, not on top of any (Gmap/openstreetlayer by keeping any placemark or vector in tht place).
i.e. just display it on the client. Do we have any examples for vaadin using some wrappers(or in code.google). Please give it as soon as possible. Im in need of it since its very urgent.
In case you just one OpenStreetMap as a base map for your app, I’d suggest to got with
V-Leaflet add-on . It has built in support for OpenStreetMap base map. The class name is LOpenStreetMapLayer IIRC.
Another option is to use OpenLayers, the previously defacto OS slippy map implementation. Leaflet has though been more popular choise by most GIS fanatics lately. Links to V7 compatible OpenLayers (3) library:
Hi Matti,
Thanx for great addon V-Leaflet it works well.
I am using vaadin 7.1.10 version. And if I wish to use an OSM Map can i use OpenLayers3 wrapper addon with this version? I have tried with OpenLayers3 wrapper addon but getting Error as - Widgetset does not contain implementation for org.vaadin.addon.vol3.OLMap. Check its component connector’s @Connect mapping.
OpenLayer3 is probably built agains more modern Vaadin version, but I’d guess it should work with 7.1 as well. Check widgetset compilation log for more details.
