Open multiple kml files in Google Maps

A few days ago I talked about how to open a kml file in Google Maps, knowing its route where it is hosted.

Now let's see what happens if we want to show several at the same time.

1. The kml route

In this case, I will do this by showing information from the Regional Urban Information Center (CIUR) as an example, incidentally to promote their potential. An interesting work, perhaps the first to show Tegucigalpa information on Google Earth.

In this case, since it is a service mounted as an iframe, you have to right-click to see the properties of the code and identify the IP where it is hosted. Then here find the html; in case it is not a dynamic website like this case -And at the time of this post-. If the data is not served via wms or it is files not stored in a database, the routes of the kml / kmz layers will be visible.

This way of serving the data over time is changed to a less simple structure, to avoid the layers being downloaded as discrete files. Even the kml can contain the data structure, but these are being served asynchronously with any OGC format that Google Maps supports.

2. Deployment on Google Maps

The url is copied into the Google Maps search field, one by one, whether they are kml or kmz, they will be shown on the map and in the checklists on the left they can be turned off or on. With each search a layer is shown, but they are stored in the memory of the display.

To show them they are activated or deactivated from the right panel. You cannot change the order, but you can delete a layer and reload it in the order that interests you.

And there you have it. In the example, the yellow lines are geological faults, the green outline a projection of a second peripheral ring and in green the projected 20-year growth. This and more can be consulted in the CIUR, Which seems to us a valuable initiative that with dissemination, continuity and interaction by users linked to the secure subject will become an important source of consultation.
