Out of interest have you considered other output formats for GeoCubes?

For example I think it would work really well with Google Earth. Via
View Based Refresh Network Links.

I think I could take the JSON feed output you have now and easily
convert to a KML feed to use. But my problem would be how to convert a
lat/long center point and radius (or bounding box) into the url params
that the supermap endpoint gets from Google Maps.
I guess I could disect the javascript, but to be honest looks a little
beyond me!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no zoom level, as it uses continuous zoom, you either have
'span' - via bounding box. or "range" which is meters away from the
surface.

I've used this to great success in other products:
$zoom = intval((-1.4956 * log($range/1000)) + 16.5);
that use Google Map style zoom level in Google Earth.

But there is more to be done, esp following feedback here:

Thank you Barry for your great work! :)

I will also include a link to the KML source into the geocubes developer area 
soon.
