Well I'm sure you are aware of this, but there is a lot of very high res ( ~a few meters) Mars imagery available from MOC . I've had it in my head for a while now to try to put the all the available images into a network link, but I suppose that is easier said than done.
In any case, I do have an old set of MOC 'pic of the day' overlays at this post that I would like to use with your overlays. Unfortunately, they seem to have too low of a draw order to work nicely.
We've updated our Mars Superoverlay at www.marsterritory.com to include the NASA high-res WMS maps and rottenapple's (another poster) landing sites and geography overlays. Thank you to them both!
Since KML 2.1 allows seamless mapping of WMS, including planetary WMS, these full resolution Mars layers now work, without having to download everything:
Cool....I guess I won't bother doing the THEMIS using Superoverlays then
By the way, I was thinking about doing the Topographic map of Mars and adding placemarks with crater info. Should I bother, or will you be adding that as WMS also?
