enigma2-plugin-extensions-googlemaps

Update 22.04.2009

You can put your own KML-File in the Root Dir of the Plugin. This is in most
cases /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/GoogleMaps/


How the Plugin will find my custom KML-File?

The Plugin looks at Startup in his own Dir and will try to read and to display
all Files that are ending with the Extension .kml .


How to get a KML-File?

The Plugin uses the same KML-Files as Google Earth does it. So, if you have
your Collection of custom Placemarks in Google Earth for Example, export them
into a File in the Format KMZ. Rename this exported KMZ file to xxzzyy.kmz.zip
and extract it. You will find a KML-File that will contain your Placemarks.


Why are there so much more Tags in the original KML-File from Google Earth than
in the standart KML-Files of the Plugin are?

This is because parsing unneeded Stuff costs Time we dont have To Speeding
up the Start of the Plugin, we have kicked of all unneeded Stuff from the
standart KML-Files. But a original KML from Google Earth has to work too, but
slower.


Which Tags are important for this Plugin?

This is an example of a KML-Docoment :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.2">

<LookAt>
<longitude>13.3501</longitude>
<latitude>52.514553</latitude>
