#549 Google Earth

[smbonner]

Hi,
I was wondering if it might be possible to integrate Google Earth into
future versions of PHPGedView? I would make standardising address
formats a lot easier for me. Thanks.

smbonner,
Google Earth is a Windowow application. How do you envision
integration? If you are refering to Google Maps
http://maps.google.com/ , it is already integrated, assuming
that you have longitude and latitude information in your GEDCOM

Hello,
thanks for the prompt reply. Im not sure how it could be done but I do know
that Google Earth has a bookmark system using a kmz suffix. Could this
somehow be integrated into phpgedview without having to add the kmz file as a
media object? Lat/long is not very practical IMHO. Google Earth is available for
Windows/Mac OSX. Thanks. Seamus

I guess the intention is to avoid the need to manually look
up latitude & longitude, using something *like* Google earth
to do the work, based on place name entered..?

Presumably if Google Earth can look these up, PHPGedView
should be able to as well, either directly or by proxy via
something that can...?
