For our purposes, we used Google Earth (earth.google.com), which in its latest version combines satellite imagery, maps, terrain, and 3D buildings. This tool gives a simple interface to navigate over a global satellite map and manually assign points of interest with markers, polylines, and polygons. This software was so straightforward that we could give it to our team of rural engineers and, after a few minutes of training, they were able to represent a large amount of information that was scattered in a variety of files in different engineering software formats. The original file was converted to KML, short for “Keyhole Listing Two function load() { if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) { map = new GMap2(document.getElementById(“map”)); map.addControl(new GLargeMapControl()); map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl()); map.addControl(new GOverviewMapControl()); map.addControl(new GScaleControl()); map.setCenter(new GLatLng(37.97775399999999, 23.782611), 16); map.openInfoWindow(map.getCenter(),”Welcome message”); map.setMapType(map.getMapTypes()[1]); var pos = new GControlPosition(G_ANCHOR_BOTTOM_LEFT, new GSize(250,0)); pos.apply(document.getElementById(“control”)); map.getContainer().appendChild(document.getElementById(“control”)); } } 38 Dr. Dobb’s Journal l www.ddj.com l December 2007 http://earth.google.com http://www.abxsoft.com http://www.abxsoft.com http://www.mcobject.com http://www.mcobject.com/enterprise http://www.ddj.com
