Then installing a functional osmexport should be as simple as You need to have ruby and RubyGems installed (executables ruby and gem). Osmexport /path/to/kml-complex.oxr data.osm data.kml Using the included example rule file, kml-complex.oxr, you can generate a kml file using a command line like The latter includes an executable osmexport. Install the gems osmlib-base and osmlib-export (see below). Look at Query-to-map to select small parts or single objects of OSM and show them as KML also in Google Earth. The underlying python software is freely available from github and can easily be ran locally with full flexibility and custom maps. The Google Earth Overlay Server (GEOS) is a public web service to dynamically load maps in Google Earth. It shows a fixed grid of tiles in the center of the screen (so tilting does not work so well), but it does not require registration. Similarly, the network link at OpenStreetMapLayer.kmz dynamically displays Mapnik tiles in Google Earth. The website offers similar capacities with various rendering including four from OSM (Mapnik, Osmarender, OpenAerialMap and Cyclemap) and a transparency slider. The website requires (free) registration for resource balancing and exclusion of malicious use. In the side bar, you can adjust the opacity of the tiles with the slider on the bottom. The server script computes the resolution of the tiles depending on latitude and distance to the virtual camera, so that the number of tiles loaded by Google Earth is more or less constant independent of the view. You can choose between Mapnik, OpenCycleMap, Hike & Bike Map, OpenPisteMap and Osmarender tile sets. is a Python script running on the Google App Engine that dynamically computes tile coordinates for the current view in Google Earth.Īt you can download a KML network link that displays OpenStreetMap tiles on top of the Google Earth layers. See the Legal FAQ for more information.ĭynamic KML network links Google Earth Map Overlays Somebody has a copyright on the data shown in Google Earth and using any data from it will compromise the OSM database. don't look at a satellite image from Google and add or change streets or other things. Do not use data from Google Earth to add or change anything in OpenStreetMap, ie.
