[Mapstraction] Dispaying data that is stored on private server.
Hello, I am relatively new to this API business. I have learned a lot messing around in Google Earth/Maps API playground. Including that you cannot display kml that is being pulled from a private server. This information that I want to display is very proprietary and hosting it on a public server is not an option. I do however own a license to Global Mapper which would allow me to convert my .kml files to one of several different formats. My question is, is there a format that I can convert my .kml files and have them stored on a private server and have the capability to display them using the Mapstraction API? If the answer is yes, could you point me in the direction of how to go about this? Thank you, Gary Gillette -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[Mapstraction] Dispaying data that is stored on private server.
Well, here is a method in the Mapstraction class for adding an overlay that reads in its data from KML or GeoRSS: http://mapstraction.com/mxn/build/latest/docs/symbols/mxn.Mapstraction.html#addOverlay You could pay for server hosting and then host your file there or self-host it. People would still be able to see the file that you are reading in, though, and I''m not sure how to obfuscate it. - Dylan On Fri, Jun 22, 2012 at 9:31 AM, GGillette at telepak.com < GGillette at telepak.com> wrote:> Hello,**** > > ** ** > > I am relatively new to this API business.

[Mapstraction] Dispaying data that is stored on private server.
I would research the licenses of the various APIs and perhaps just use the one that provides you the most flexibility. OpenLayers with a private tile server is probably one option, but I''m not too well versed in the licensing options. Right now some Mapstraction providers, like OpenLayers, will work with a private KML file and others like Google won''t. Using Mapstraction would might increase your chances of being able to switch providers if you needed to, but using provider-specific features like this circumvents many of the benefits of the abstraction. -dylan- (a different dylan :) On Fri, Jun 22, 2012 at 7:33 AM, Dylan Mikus <mikus at rhiza.com> wrote:> Well, here is a method in the Mapstraction class for adding an overlay > that reads in its data from KML or GeoRSS: > http://mapstraction.com/mxn/build/latest/docs/symbols/mxn.Mapstraction.html#addOverlay > > You could pay for server hosting and then host your file there or > self-host it.

[Mapstraction] Dispaying data that is stored on private server.
I am a troubleshooter by nature so I work with a known good and go backwards from there. In the Mapstraction sandbox I have been successful in getting (publically hosted) kml to show whenever I used the google canvas. So I attempted to use the same kml to see if it would work using the OpenLayers canvas. Sadly the kml did not display. If I am not able to get publicly hosted kml layers to show, then deductive reasoning tells me that a private hosted kml file will not show either. Or am I missing something?

[Mapstraction] Dispaying data that is stored on private server.
The sandbox unfortunately is quite out of date, and so not a known good. Starting with the wiki example would be better: https://github.com/mapstraction/mxn/wiki -dylan- P.S. can a list admin ban the marketing spammer that replied before me?
