Trouble importing KMZ

wedgef5 · 10-30-2006, 09:23 PM

World Wind doesn't want to import the KMZ from the following URL...

http://wdssii.nssl.noaa.gov/geotiff/

I get no error or anything. World Wind just does nothing.

I'm anything but an expert in KML/KMZ. Anyone on here see why World Wind doesn't like these data sources?

TIA

Matt

Hi,
I saved down one of the KMZ files, extracted out the KML, and looked at it. It only contains a network link to another KML on the site. I saved that one down and looked at it. It only contains a placemark, which WW should be able to handle, although there is no LAT/LON, so I don't know where it would put it, and something called a <GroundOverlay> which looks like it takes a .tif and overlays it on the globe given a LAT/LON box. I'm pretty sure WW V1.3.5 won't handle this. Hopefully we'll have better luck with the upcoming version. Maybe someone with a working copy of 1.4 will give this a try.

1.4 downloads tifs (to Cache\ImageUrls) but doesn't display them... :/
