Palanterra™
X3 supports the following KML elements:
n
Placemarks
n
Icons
n
Folders
n
Descriptive
HTML
n
KMZ
(compressed KML)
n
Points,
Lines, Polygons and MultiGeometry
n
Styles
for points, lines, and polygons (including color, fill, and picture symbols
with fully qualified URLs)
n
Network
Links to import data dynamically
n
Regions
inside network links (for efficient loading of large KML datasets) New!
n
Ground
Overlays and Screen Overlays
The KML
parser silently ignores XML tags that it does not understand or does not
support.
There are
currently no size or complexity restrictions for KML rendering in Palanterra™
X3. However, there is a practical limit
of around 500 geometries before browser performance may be affected.
Details about KML Support in Google
Maps versus Palanterra™ X3
The
following table provides detailed information on which KML elements are
