Displaying a Trail in a Google Map with KML
This is sort of Part 2 on displaying trails (line segments) in a Map.
Last year I assisted the Indianapolis Cultural Trail by mapping out the incredible cultural bike and walkways that are being constructed in Indianapolis using Google Earth. Part 1 was how to utilize Google Earth to plot your trails and export them to a KML file.
Tonight, I finally sent off a map that had been residing in my test directory over to Ian to push up to the Indy Cultural Trail site. This will allow visitors to zoom in, change to a satellite view, and interact with the map much more than a static image.
Added to my urgency at getting this completed that I spoke with Gail Swanstrom and Brian Payne (President, Central Indiana Community Foundation) on Saturday after the Bill McKibben event. Gail and Brian are both incredible folks - kind, full of energy, and oh so patient. I couldn’t let them down.
One project down! A few more to go! When the map is posted, I’ll update this post with a link.
