Raster Plaster: OpenGIS WMS to Google Earth

View in Google Earth (420 downloads)



I have made a program called Raster Plaster that builds tilesets of data from web based mapping servers for Google Earth. This will allow you to use software like MapServer to provide maps that can be viewed in google earth.

Raster Plaster

Some of the key features:
* Makes tilesets, doesn't just request image for current bounding box. Data stays while panning and zooming in and out.
* Builds most of its configuration automatically from OpenGIS GetCapabilities.
* Never touches an image file.
* Makes images with sane aspect ratios, uses different number of tiles at different latitudes.
* Open Source.

There is also a functional demo using TerraServer and NASA JPL public mapping servers.
Raster Plaster Demo . The attached .kml file is for this demo.

I hope you find this fun and useful.
