★ Update to Google Maps lookup for ENVI

posted Mon 17 Apr 2006 by Michael Galloy under ENVI

I upgraded to Version 2 of the Google Maps API. The benefits of Version 2 of the API that are applicable for the ENVI lookup user routine are:

The Overview map control displays a collapsible overview map in the lower-right corner of the browser window.
The Javascript is half the size, so it should be a faster download.
Increased imagery resolution and coverage.
Other customization features make future enhancements to MG_GOOGLE_LOOKUP possible.

Google Maps Version 2 lookup for ENVI

The best part is that all the changes are on the server side, so this will just happen automatically for those who are using MG_GOOGLE_LOOKUP already. If you for some reason want to keep using Version 1 of the Google Maps API, change the URL inside MG_GOOGLE_LOOKUP from envi_lookup.html to envi_lookup1.html.

See previous post Google Maps lookup for ENVI.

[…] I just wanted to give context to imagery viewed in ENVI (similar to my Google Maps user function). mg_write_kml produces a KML file and an image suitable for viewing in Google Earth. The KML file includes lat/lon information to locate the image. The user function is only one file: mg_write_kml (docs). […]

Google is turning Verson 1 of the Google Maps API off in the first week of November, so the url with “envi_lookup1.html” will no longer work then.

About me

I'm a software developer focusing on high-performance computing and visualization in scientific programming. I work mostly in IDL, but occasionally use C, CUDA, and Python.

I currently work for the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) at the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory. Previously, I worked for Tech-X Corporation, where I was the main developer for GPULib, a library of IDL bindings for GPU accelerated computation routines.

I am the creator and main developer for the open source projects IDLdoc, mgunit, and rIDL.

Contact me at Mastodon or via email at mgalloy at gmail dot com. For more details about me, see my CV/resume.
