you will now have a option on gmap to enable the "Earth" view. This will require the plugin or activeX control.

I hope this helps..

Thanks for this snippet btw!

When I choose to show user locations, the markers briefly show up as expected while the window is loading, and then as soon as the earth is visible the markers turn to little x's. is there a way to set the marker type as in the other map styles in a way that translates int GE?

Additionally when I add a node with a location and then choose to show node locations the same thing happens.

Any advice on how to have the marker style settings carry over would be appreciated, or even just to force a marker style other than the x would be gratly appreciated.

Thanks!

I just noticed that the errors I mentioned only occur in Firefox, not in IE. This is a rare time, I guess, when IE is better.

to 2.153 and now have no problems in FF3

from

define('GMAP_API_VERSION', '2.115');

to

define('GMAP_API_VERSION', '2.153');

I just applied this welcome hack and noticed the the line numbers to do the insertion of the new code have changed.

I am using version = "6.x-1.1-rc1" of GMap as of March 10, 2009.

in gmap.module the line to add the code snippet:

  $map['Google']['Earth'] = array(
    'title' => t('Google Earth Plugin'),
    'default' => FALSE,
    'help' => t('Map with Google Earth Plugin (http://code.google.com/apis/earth/) Internal name: G_PHYSICAL_3D_MAP'),
  );

Would appear to be around 250. I put mine at the end of a Baselayers Case construct:

case 'baselayers':
  $map['Google']['Map'] = array(
    'title' => t('Map: Standard street map.'),
    'default' => TRUE,
    'help' => t('The standard default street map. Internal name: G_NORMAL_MAP'),
  );
  $map['Google']['Satellite'] = array(
    'title' => t('Satellite: Standard satellite map.'),
    'default' => TRUE,
    'help' => t('Satellite view without street overlay. Internal name: G_SATELLITE_MAP'),
  );
  $map['Google']['Hybrid'] = array(
    'title' => t('Hybrid: Hybrid satellite map.'),
    'default' => TRUE,
    'help' => t('Satellite view with street overlay. Internal name: G_HYBRID_MAP'),
  );
  $map['Google']['Physical'] = array(
    'title' => t('Terrain: Physical feature map.'),
    'default' => FALSE,
    'help' => t('Map with physical data (terrain, vegetation.) Internal name: G_PHYSICAL_MAP'),
  );
  $map['Google']['Earth'] = array(
    'title' => t('Google Earth Plugin'),
    'default' => FALSE,
    'help' => t('Map with Google Earth Plugin (http://code.google.com/apis/earth/) Internal name: G_PHYSICAL_3D_MAP'),
  );   //  GE Hack
  break;

In gmap.js the line number to insert the snippet is around 242.

I added the GE layer to the Load Map types construct at the end, like so:

// Load google map types.
if (obj.vars.baselayers.Map) {
  opts.mapTypes.push(G_NORMAL_MAP);
  opts.mapTypeNames.push('Map');
}
if (obj.vars.baselayers.Satellite) {
  opts.mapTypes.push(G_SATELLITE_MAP);
  opts.mapTypeNames.push('Satellite');
}
if (obj.vars.baselayers.Hybrid) {
  opts.mapTypes.push(G_HYBRID_MAP);
  opts.mapTypeNames.push('Hybrid');
}
if (obj.vars.baselayers.Physical) {
  opts.mapTypes.push(G_PHYSICAL_MAP);
  opts.mapTypeNames.push('Physical');
}
if (obj.vars.baselayers['Earth']) {
  opts.mapTypes.push(G_SATELLITE_3D_MAP);
  opts.mapTypeNames.push('Earth');
}  //  GE Hack

Have applied the new code there and am about to commence testing.

I have a Google Earth pane running in a Content type.

My understanding, to start with is that you can pass a KML file which could include a DAE in the Google Maps macro.

Have not had time to run that test yet, but that would be the simple way to start.

First thing I notice is that the GE Map is not solid in the web page when you scroll-- there is a lag that you don't get with a Google Map. I'd like to see that go away if possible, so that the user perception that the Google Earth view is firmly fixed in the page is maintained.

After getting the KML into the view through the Google Maps Macro and seeing it run, then there needs to be work done to drive the GE UI API through javascript, which is where things get cool.

just following up; anyone attempt this?

Anyone manage the KMl/KMZ insert into the Earth Layer. Please help??

Hi,
I'm knew to Drupal and though I read and browse a lot of module page, forum threads and tutorial I can find a "proper" mean to integrate inside Drupal a Google Earth Mashup.
To do so I've only be able to use

<

iframe> inside a page (see it at: http://www.atlas-solaire.fr/GHI-Map)

I would like to know if there is a step by step how to who allow me to do the same without relying on

<

iframe>.
Is there any live example of Drupal 6 Web site with Google Earth Mashups ?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Lionel
