How Guest can show 2 peoples in on map ?

Post by MikelHilgers »

Hello,

We start at june by the cyling race "race across america".
For this race i like that peoples can follow the race live in a map.
i like that guest can show the track of the race, for this i want to display a track file (.kml - .kmz) in this map.
I need to display 2 peoples in the map, the cyclist and the support vehicule.

It s possible when i update to fullversion?
I am verry interested .. I am willing to pay something for it!

Thanks

Hi,
Yes, I think we will find a solution for your requirements - it would be great to see my app at the race accros america. Is it exactly one KML file you want to display? If so please send it to me and I will check how I can integrate it. If I know the effort I can tell you the costs. If it's not too much effort I could imagine to support your team for free and you could mention my app on your official homepage and facebook. Wouldn't that be a great deal?

Hi,

thats a great deal

That s the kml file, that i want to display.
http://maps.google.de/maps/ms?msid=2063 ... 8,1.674042

I like to display the full track and also all Timestations.
If it s possible i like to change this map, during the race, to add points of interesses ( like sleep break, eating break and other infos ...) like this :
http://maps.google.de/maps/ms?msid=2063 ... 13,0.41851

Can you send me your App Logo,... so i can mention on our website and facebook site.

I have created a testmap displaying your KML files. So you can check if it is displayed as expected. I have no influence how the KML is rendered because Google Maps does all the work. So if you want to change the overlay design you have to edit the KML itself. Let me know if it works as expected. Afterwards I will start to add the new feature to the web portal.

You can also download my logo. Hope it's OK. Would be great if you could linkify the logo, i.e. if someone clicks on it he will be redirected to www.greenalp.com.

Hi,

the tracks look good
I have see that you link the google map directly

Code: Select all

var georssLayer = new google.maps.KmlLayer('http://maps.google.de/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&msa=0&output=kml&msid=206309964914443322380.0004bed5afda105376c20');
  georssLayer.setMap(map);
that's perfect !!
i have added a point marker on http://www.greenalp.com/realtimetracker/kmltest2.html and when i refresh the page he was displayed...
If it was possible that the kmlLayer was refreshed each time when you refresh the current position, the tracking was perfect !!

Can you add two KmlLayers? so i can use on for the RAAM Route and one for the points of interesse.

Ok your logo is now online..

Location is refreshed every 2 seconds - that's too often for a KML file. I think user would not appreciate if a file is download every 2 seconds as it would cause high bandwidth consumption. Moreover I think it would cause flickering. What about refresh every 2 minutes? How often will you modify the KML? I will try to add support for two KML files.
Thanks for the logo. We can optimize it later. Maybe it is a little bit oversized for your homepage.

Hi,

I think refreshing evry 2min is ok.
for the route track refreshing is not necessary...only for the second kml file.
We can do this with parameters?

When we have finished we can optimize the logo
If you have any questions....

Thanks

Hi,

i have seen that, import of 2 kml files is already done
But in the moment the center of the screen is defined by the kml file.
Can i define the centering of the map relative to my position or the friends position with a parameter in the url ?

Thanks for the good work !!!

Push F5 button to refresh the page. The map should not auto center the KML anymore.
