ct_gearth is a new content type based on the Google Earth API. Users can attach .kml files to a node (with upload module), which in turn is displayed through the Google Earth API. If a user attaches several .kml files it is possible to choose between them via a drop-down box.
This module is part of a package of modules being developed by Jefferson Institute. These modules are meant to serve as tools for data visualization:
- Timelinemap - It allows you to load one or more data sets onto both a map and a timeline simultaneously. Only items in the visible range of the timeline are displayed on the map. Timeline Map displays data represented in the timeline as markers on Google map.
- Google Visualization API - It uses Google Visualization API to display different types of charts. Pie, Bar, Column, Gauge, GeoMap, IntensityMap, Area, MotionChart and Scatter plot are supported at the moment.
- TagMap - Display a geo-coded tag cloud over Google Map. Taxonomy terms or imported external data can be displayed.
- Importer - Imports data in the database, handles batch upload of .zip files and connection of those files to the appropriate data in the created table.
- Vidi - Vidi module serves as a guide to choose adequate visualizations from Timeline, Tagmap and GVS modules for specific data, i.e. wizard with visualizations preview.
