XML to KML allows you to generate KML data from existing XML documents such as RSS feeds. This KML data can be downloaded by visitors and opened in Google Earth™, allowing your site's news to be displayed geographically.
Why would I want to use XML to KML?
XML to KML allows you to display your site's news in a new and intuitive way. Visitors will be able to read your news stories directly in Google Earth™ according the the location of the story. Your news will be displayed in a way similar to the way New York Times news is displayed in Google Earth™.
What kinds of XML data can be used?
Any valid XML data can be used to generate a KML document. This includes RSS feeds and hand-coded XML data. The only prerequisite is that the XML contains the following data somewhere in its structure:
-Story Title
-Story Body
-Story Location (in the format lon,lat)
Requirements:
XML to KML requires PHP 5. This is due to the module's use of the SimpleXML library, which is not available in previous versions of PHP.
