KML - Google earth look #48

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load a KML to the map
2. Load the same KML in Google earth
3. The layer looks much better in Google earth

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The KML should look similar in both softwares.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.3

Please provide any additional information below.
OpenLayers do not provide complete KML support. Extending the KML layer class 
should allow the application to workaround this issue. Adding support for KMZ 
would also be a very nice improvement.

Due to limitation in OpenLayers library, it is very unlikely that KML will 
eventually looks as nice as in Google Earth. I have done some adjustments to 
make them looks closer to Google Earth, but more work has to be done.

I did a lot of works to adjust the look of the KMLs. They now looks very 
similar. The only noticeable differences remaining are:
* The labels overlap in the AtlasMapper. This could be fixed using some sort of 
clustering or label bbox detection.
* Some icons are in grey scale, when the KML define a generic icon and apply 
colour to it. As long as I know, there is no easy way to fix this using HTML / 
JavaScript. The solution would be to rely on a server side service to 
"colourise" the image.
