geoRSS in YT API

You’ll now notice geoRSS information returned in video feeds if it’s available. Format is the same as other GData APIs with lat/long information like Picasa. (Link to feature request.)

heh. my little amendment is spreading around the gdata world.

Importing KML and GeoRSS

To import a KML file, create a new map and click the Import link. You’ll be able to upload a file from your desktop, or enter the URL of a file on the web. We’ll import all of the data from that file into your map for online access and editing

Mashing KML and GeoRSS in 3D on the Web

I took his GeoRSS feed and a KML file from KPBS showing activity around the Fires and added each of them as a distinct layer to the VE Map Control. Because Virtual Earth runs In a web browser its easy to build applications that link to and interact with other web pages and take advantage of the myriad of web development tools that are out there, while not having to sacrifice on visualization options for your geo data

haha. one of these days i will get used to ms touting kml

GeoRSS & KML

High Earth Orbit i hope we can implement many / all of these ideas

What Went Wrong with GML

architecture astronauts. and now everyone uses “simple” which weighs in at a mere 100 pages.

Live Maps Collections

kinda neat if it were not so puny. 30 collections? is that all?

GeoRSS conformance

Now, lets take a look at a recent, relevant, and very concrete example: Google Maps support for GeoRSS. In order to deal with feeds produced by “average, relatively low-skill programmers” Google must deal with non well formed feeds, multiple incompatible formats (+ Atom, optionally including the declining but not quite gone Atom 0.3 variant), multiple ways to express GeoRSS data, and even deal with applications which don’t follow these specs either.

sam keeps adding tests to georss, nice!
