Superoverlay is a stand-alone Google Earth application for tiling raster datasets and creating view based regions in KML or KMZ files. It helps you put large image overlays into Google Earth (for example alternative maps or aerial photography). Superoverlay automatically include georeferences from world files, change and optimise size and time of downloading images. Also Superoverlay can generate world files for all images in ArcView style (jgw, tfw,...).
Version 2.0.2
Build: 03.03.2008
- Sky Mode is supported
Other news:
- New structure of KML(KMZ) files
- Amazon S3 Service uploading is supported.

The download link doesn't work.
Does it automatically read georeference information from GeoTIFF and/or JGW files?

Great, I'm definately interested in this. Couple other suggestions.
1) Add option to hide child network links.
2) If you support PNG output files, add option to adjust the color depth and compression of the output tiles to help with size of the tiles.
3) Add ability to adjust the MinLodPixels and MaxLodPixels for each level of tiles.
Thanks
Matt

Add ability to load MrSid, Jpeg2000, ErMapper ECW image files.
ErMapper has an Open Source library to add compatibility for large volumes of the ECW and JPEG 2000 standards image data to your applications.:

Hi Valery,
now testing is ok Thanks.
I had problems to find out that it works on my German Windows98 only with decimal comma - not with decimal point values.

Hi Valery,
the source values:Code:
<north>28.6394164882561</north>
<south>28.6281469489165</south>
<east>-17.7966371769743</east>
<west>-17.8054253635753</west>
<rotation>1.33976818754354</rotation>
the results with point delimiter: Code:
<north>2,863942E+14</north>
<south>2,862815E+14</south>
<west>-1,780543E+14</west>
<east>-1,779664E+14</east>
<rotation>133976818754354</rotation>
results with commas: Code:
<north>28,63942</north>
<south>28,62815</south>
<west>-17,80543</west>
<east>-17,79664</east>
<rotation>1,33976818754354</rotation>
As another suggestion I would like to set the transparency.

I tried it tonight. Very easy and fast to use. Any chance you will make it work with NASA World Wind also??
I think there is something wrong with LodPixel values.
That should make the overlay visible at any zoom level greater than the Min value. But the overlays are not always displaying. Also, the tiles do not seem to display correctly when you pan and tilt.

Hi Valery,
other suggestion:
in German we always say "N - S - E - W" so it's not intuitive to type into the mask "W - S - E - N"

Valery,
*Very Nice!*
However... Have you tested this using very large (200MB+) single input file?
I'm using Beta 1.1.0, build date 24.10.2006, on Win XP latest patches w/3 GB RAM), I am having problems.
>> I've tried this again using v1.2 with similar results. <<
When running with large TIF file, 223MB, I get an "Out Of Memory" error after the progress bar nears 20+%. Experimentation with other settings like LODs, etc. produce other error types like "A generic error occured in GDI+". None complete w/o error message of some sort.
Please let me know if I am doing more than the beta should be expected to do. Happy to help debug if you can direct me to the details you require.
Bruce

Hi Valery,
I tried the world files - but it seems not to work corretcly with UTM coordinates (and Transverse Mercator Projection).
I also do not succeed with transparency (<color></color>). What am I doing wrong?

Why doesn't it reduce the resolution of the images? Shouldn't all the levels be lower resolution than the original image?
For example, I used SuperOverlay on a a 6,000 x 8,000 pixel map. The 1st level generated by SuperOverlay was 6,000 x 8,000. The second level 3000 x 4,000, the 3rd level was 1,500 x 2000, the 4th level was 750 x 1,000 and the 5th level was 375 x 500.
But they should all be 375 x 500. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

I found out that on the second run all bigger images are reduced. On the first run I have the same result as Matt. I did not complain about because I pre |
