GME helps developers create and edit dynamic components in Web pages, such as maps, tables, lists, and other elements, based on connections with external data. These elements can be then be included in Web pages and blogs using an iframe. \n\nThis tutorial will show you how to incorporate a KML file into a Map created with GME. \n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n### My first impressions of Google Mashup Editor\n\n- It has the utmost simplicity, with a clean and distinct interface, like the majority of Google products.\n- It has a convenient project index with a constantly increasing collection of code examples, as well as the author's code.\n- It allows for the easy storage of additional resources to the project (such as image files).\n- It has an easy-to-use XML debugger.\n- It has lots of easy-to-use sample applications.\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n### GME for KML Developers\n\nBefore the advent of the Internet, spatial data\nwas traditionally difficult to share. However, with\nthe development of the Internet, mapping applications became a standard\nway of easily sharing Geographic Information Systems\n(GIS) data with the world. KML is becoming a standard for the\npresentation and interchange of GIS data because it is compact, easy to\ndevelop, and is supported by popular applications such as Google Earth\nand\nGoogle Maps.\n\n\nUntil recently, the process of creating and editing pages\nbased\non\nJavaScript was a large problem for KML developers. It required a large\nnumber of\nadditional steps to create a mashup and debug it. GME makes\nit\npossible to create a KML-based mashup very rapidly\nout of a few basic\ncomponents. The process of creation does not require special\nknowledge of HTML\nor JavaScript. The GME sample projects provide enough to get\nstarted.\n\n\nIn the following example, I'll be using a KML file that points\nto the\ncollection of the photographs taken during\n[Pict Earth\nUSA](http://pictearth.com/missions.html \"Pict Earth USA\") flights.\n\nThis is a snapshot of the Pict Earth maps mashup: \n\n### Here are the steps to integrate a KML file into a GME project using the\nGoogle Maps API:\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n[Step 1: Select the KML file](#Step1) \n[Step 2: Create a new GME project](#Step2) \n[Step 3: Create a function to add the KML](#Step3) \n[Step 4: Add a map](#Step4) \n[Step 5: Test the mashup](#Step5) \n[Step 6: Publish the mashup](#Step6) \n[Step 7: Add the mashup to a web page](#Step7) \n[Step 8: Put it in the GME gallery](#Step8) \n\n### Step 1: Select the KML file\n\nSelect\nthe KML file you would like to add to your Map. This can be anything\nthat has features supported in Google Maps. It must be hosted on a\npublicly available server.\n\n### Step 2: Create a New\nGME Project\n\nCreate a new blank GME project.\n\nThis is what a blank GME project looks like: \n\nAdd a\ntitle and a name for your function.\n\\\u003cgm:page title=**\"Pict Earth\nmissions\"** authenticate=\"false\" **onload=**\"**kmlPE()**\"\\\u003e \n\\\u003c/gm:page\\\u003e \n\n### Step 3: Create\na function to add the KML\n\n\nCreate a JavaScript function with the path to the KML file to be added\nto the Map. \n\n```gdscript\n\u003cscript\u003e\n function kmlPE()\n {\n \u003c!-- Get map --\u003e\n var myMap = google.mashups.getObjectById('map').getMap();\n \u003c!-- Get KML --\u003e\n var geoXml = new GGeoXml(\"http://pictearthusa.com/kml/missions.kml\");\n \u003c!--Place KML on Map --\u003e\n myMap.addOverlay(geoXml);\n \u003c!--Set zoom on double click --\u003e\n myMap.enableDoubleClickZoom();\n }\n\u003c/script\u003e\n```\n\n### Step 4: Add a Map\n\nAdd map and parameters.\n\n```actionscript-3\n\u003cgm:map id=\"map\" height=\"400px\" width=\"400px\" lat=\"32.9393\" lng=\"-117.206\" zoom=\"9\" maptypes=\"true\"/\u003e\n```\n\n### Step 5: Test the mashup.\n\nPress the Test button (F4).\n\nThis is an image of the Pict Earth mashup tested in the\nSandbox. \n\nNow we can verify the text of application and see the first result. We\ncan add a\ntitle and links and test it again.\n\n### Step 6: Publish the mashup\n\nSet the name of the project, and then publish it. This will give you a\npermanent link to your mashup, which you can use to incorporate it into\nweb pages. Using my example, this is the link to the GME project\n[home page](http://pemissions.googlemashups.com/ \"home page\"). You\ncan also see\n[source\ncode](http://pemissions.googlemashups.com/index.gml \"Source code\") of project.\n\n### Step 7: Add the mashup\nto a web page\n\nAdd the mashup to a web page using an iframe. For instance, to insert\nthe example project, add this:\n\n```css+lasso\n\u003ciframe style=\"WIDTH: 439px; HEIGHT: 491px\" src=\"http://pemissions.googlemashups.com/\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c/iframe\u003e\n```\n\nHere are examples of the mashup in a web [page](http://spreadsheetsgis.googlepages.com/pe \"page\")\nand a [blog](http://gisplanet.blogspot.com/2007/07/pict-earth-usa-missions.html \"blog\").\n\nYou can also add your [Google\nAnalytics](http://analytics.google.com/ \"Google Analytics\") code to the project, which will allow you to track\nstatistics about who is viewing your page. Here's the simple script to\nadd it:\n\n```carbon\n\u003cscript src=\"http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js\" type=\"text/javascript\"\u003e\u003c/script\u003e\n\u003cscript type=\"text/javascript\"\u003euacct = \"youraccountnumber\";urchinTracker();\u003c/script\u003e\n```\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n### Step 8: Put it in the\nGME Gallery\n\nPublish your mashup to the [GME Mashup Gallery](http://gallery.googlemashups.com/).\nThis will\nallow other users to view your mashup.\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n### For more information:\n\nCheck out the\n[Google\nMashup Editor Getting Started Guide](http://editor.googlemashups.com/docs/gettingstarted.html \"Google Mashup Editor Getting Started Guide\"), which presents in\ndetail the\nprocess of creating mashups. Also, check out\nthe [list\nof tags](http://editor.googlemashups.com/docs/reference.html \"list of tags\") for a brief description of all gm tags with\n[examples](http://editor.googlemashups.com/docs/samples.html \"examples\").\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n### Code:\n\nHere is\nthe whole code for using the Pict Earth KML in GME: \n\n```gdscript\n\u003cgm:page title=\"Pict Earth missions\" authenticate=\"false\" onload=\"kmlPE()\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- Map definition --\u003e\n\u003cgm:mapid=\"map\" height=\"400px\" width=\"400px\" lat=\"32.9393\" lng=\"-117.206\" zoom=\"9\" maptypes=\"true\"/\u003e\n\n\u003cscript\u003e\n function kmlPE(){\n\n \u003c!-- Get map --\u003e\n var myMap = google.mashups.getObjectById('map').getMap();\n\n \u003c!-- Get KML --\u003e\n var geoXml = new GGeoXml(\"http://pictearthusa.com/kml/missions.kml\");\n\n \u003c!-- Place KML on Map --\u003e\n myMap.addOverlay(geoXml);\n\n \u003c!-- Set zoom on double click --\u003e\n myMap.enableDoubleClickZoom();\n }\n\u003c/script\u003e\n\u003c/gm:page\u003e\n```\n\n### What's next?\n\nOnce you've published your mashup, you can use the KML file\nin it as a\nparameter to include in another application, or loaded directly as a\nmap. For\ninstance, this page:\n[http://param.googlemashups.com](http://param.googlemashups.com/?kml=http://pictearthusa.com/kml/missions.kml \"http://param.googlemashups.com/?kml=http://pictearthusa.com/kml/missions.kml\")\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\nis a GME mashup. You can directly reference a KML file to the mashup by adding kml= as a parameter in the URL, like this:\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n\u003chttp://param.googlemashups.com/?kml=http://mapgadgets.googlepages.com/cta.kml\u003e \n\nYou can also create a [Gadget](http://www.google.com/apis/gadgets/) from your project. Once you've submitted it, go to the file menu and click on Submit Gadget, and follow the directions. This will allow you to easily add your application to your [Google personalized home page](http://www.google.com/ig), on other web pages, and to share it with others.\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e"]]
