a Little Moments

in the earlier i've been post about creating custom map with kml

now i introduce you to a digitizer tool - online google maps tool

try to make a marker, line, polygon and see the generate code

if you interest with KML you can learn the code..



This is what you can do:
1. create marker
2. draw a polyline (measure the distant)
3. draw a polygon (measure the area)
4. draw a circle
5. change the style (line and poygon style)
6. generate the code (KML complete, KML coordinate and Javascript)

this is the link, enjoy it..
Online digitizer tool

To see the script clearly try to see this one


Many custom things you can do here

1. add some icon style (my first icon is hellokitty)
copy line 4 to 9
change the style id in line 4 for example: cinnamoroll
change the icon size in line 6
change the image by modify the url in line 7

2. add some point
copy line 10 to 21
           change the point id in line 10 for example: placemark2
change the description
change the image url in line 15
change the style url (icon style: helloKitty/Cinnamoroll)
change the coordinates (longitude,latitude)

One way to create a custom map is to use KML (Keyhole Markup Language)

Let me show you how to do it..

At first you can open this link http://display-kml.appspot.com/

You'll see a blank text field in the left and map side in the right..


This is the example,

I place a point in Imam Bonjol Bandung to show the location of Baby house

one famous place where you can get any baby and mom things.., and here is the script..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.1">
<Document>
 <Style id="hellokitty">
  <IconStyle>
   <scale>5</scale>
   <Icon><href>http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Hello_Kitty_Pink_2981.jpg</href></Icon>
  </IconStyle>
 </Style>
 <Placemark id="placemark">
 <description>
  <h1><font color="blue">LavieBaby House</font></h1>
  <p>Jl. Imam Bonjol No.6 Bandung</p>
  <p>022-2504905</p>
  <img src="http://images1.fanpop.com/images/photos/2300000/Hello-Kitty-hello-kitty-2359047-1024-768.jpg" width="150" height="110"/>
 </description>
 <styleUrl>#hellokitty</styleUrl>
 <Point>
  <coordinates>107.61537265,-6.890751</coordinates>
 </Point>
 </Placemark>
</Document>
</kml>

If you need to measure some area, visit this website Google Maps Area Calculator Tool

There's a good tool for you..,

just need to click multiple time in the map or add min 3 coordinate

then you will get the number..


this is the example

i measure the area of gasibu
