I have followed the howto here http://aardbodem.nl/?q=node/39, but I am unsure where to set these paramaters
"A simple map with Google and Virtual Earth base layers can be shown as [map baselayers="google,ve" center="5.5,52" zoom="6" /]".

The fields under create map layer are:
Service URL
Layers
Legend URL
Info Format

Where should I set this up?

Regards

The example at node/39 shows a map consisting only of baselayers like google and ve. Adding the text between the square brackets and selecting the 'inline maps' input format should display them.

The map layer content type is meant to specify layers from existing web mapping servers. Using taxonomy to classify layers, one can use a taxonomy tree block to dynamically add layers to a map. See the example at http://aardbodem.nl/?q=node/51 although it only contains a small number of layers.
The easy way to create map layers is to make a wms node first and then use a small icon next to one of its layers to create a map layer based upon it.

John.

Thank you very much John,

I managed the base layers, if you add additional parameters now i.e. layers, what would you use to seperate the syntax, only a space?
i.e [map baselayers="yahoo,ve,google" center="28,-32" zoom="3" layers="1" /]

Pt,

It isn't exactly clear to me what to you want to do? One remark I can make is that the value of the layers parameter is a comma-separated list of layer id's. If you have a layer="1", you also need a 1="wms|service url|layer title in layer switcher|comma-separated_list_of_layer_names_for_this_service" definition.

Second remark is that if you want to overlay base layers like google or ve with wms layers, you will need the EPSG:900913 projection (spherical mercator).

Regards,
John

Hello, could you say how to show Virtual Earth base layers clearly?
I don't know how to use it.

Does any document exist?
Could you send it for me?

Thanks a lot.

The current version (6.x-1.3) of mapping kit has an error with displaying virtual earth (see http://aardbodem.nl/mantis/view.php?id=35). It will be fixed with the forthcoming release (6.x-1.4).

BTW: This issue was already closed ;-)
