Thanks Terry!

There is Feedmap. I’ve not seen too much action on the site in quite a while, though.

Cheers!

This is a great tool. It is nice to find an easy to use geotagging tool like this.

I wish there were a directory of sites that use geotagging. Does anybody know of a list?

Hi Paul, you can read about KML files in an article I wrote. It's basically a geographic-specific file that's written in eXtensible Markup Language (XML). There's a sample in the post as well!

Yes, Very nice post. But I don’t like FeedBurner… And What is KML-file?

Sure, Ryan! I'd be glad to assist you. Check out this post as well on utilizing KML files. It's also now accessible through the Google API to build your own site with a KML file (for a while it was only available through Google's mapping page.

Hello, my name is Ryan Updike. I am doing a Google Earth Project in our Geography Class that works with KML. Would you be able to help us fix or get some of the code just to turn out some of the KML code? We are trying to learn how to code point data as inputs, and then turn an output in xml code. Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Regards,
Ryan Updike

Thanks for bringing that to my attention! It’s now fixed! Abuse it all you’d like.

Doug

Is is just me or is the KML snippet not updating whenever I’m moving the marker?

Any other than this: great idea and very useful thing. I’m just misusing it heavily for drawing polygon layers (i.e. hand-coding LineString-elements) for some google maps.

Thanks.

I believe it was a case sensitivity issue ( vs. ). I’ve modified the code so it’s all

Limitations are the source is not made clear. But have checked that the data is not crown copyrght (by checking codepoint (postcode data) and address point.
It is about 93% accurate across the UK.
