Export from OL to Inkscape for presentation purposes (abiding by their terms of usage of mapping data).īoth Google Earth and Google Maps can display kml files (which are xml files). Opportunities would include direct import of SVG files for icons, map overlays, editing maps in Inkscape. If browser supports SVG, renders in SVG, otherwise in VML. Export from OL to Inkscape for presentation purposes (abiding by any terms of usage of linked mapping data)
I haven't had much chance yet to go thru all the OSM stuff yet but see biggest opportunity is to do map editing in Inkscape - we could probably add some extensions to make this easier.Ī set of javascript APIs that render map data to browser (similar to Google maps). Had a chance to discuss with them at SCALE - they would like to integrate more. They currently use Inkscape to convert SVG to tiles Interfacing with other OS Geo Projects That Use SVG Open Street Maps (OSM) Inkscape doesn't really handle view box well. Also lat data (y scale) goes from bottom to top, opposite of SVG. Most geo data is based on lon lat coordinates - this must be translated to a projection (round earth to flat map) and then to screen coordinates. Coordinate Systems Tutorial: Charlie Savage.
(I've brainstormed some ideas - page to be cleaned up later) SVG is a perfect format for maps and GIS. This page is designed for all things geographical, cartography, or mapping oriented in Inkscape. 1.4 Interfacing with other OS Geo Projects That Use SVG.
