COLLADA Tileset: Lidar Terrain
Model of Garlock Fault
for Google Earth
source: Open Topography Portal
www.opentopography.org
Each KMZ file in this set contains a COLLADA tileset: tiled COLLADA models including terrain and a draped image, produced by the Export Collada Tileset process in TNTmips (Tileset / Export Collada).
The model area covers 6.5 square kilometers along the trace of the Garlock Fault in the Mojave Desert of southern California. The terrain surface used in the COLLADA models is a DEM with 0.5-meter spacing acquired in 2008 by the EarthScope Southern & Eastern California Lidar Project, which collected high-resolution topography data along a number of active fault zones.
Three COLLADA tilesets of this area were created by MicroImages using the same Lidar terrain surface but different drape images: color orthoimage with 0.3-meter resolution, shaded-relief image of the Lidar terrain, and a drape image combining relief shading and color-coded elevation. All of the tilesets are offset 50 meters above their actual elevation to avoid intersecting the Google Earth terrain, and all terrains are presented with no vertical exaggeration.
The northeast trend of the active Garlock Fault is marked in this area by offset stream gullies and linear depressions and ridges along and adjacent to the fault trace. The detailed Lidar terrain used in these COLLADA tilesets capture the detail of these local topographic features that are not revealed in the more generalized terrain model in Google Earth.

Multiple Year Nebraska Geomashup
for Google Earth
source: 2003 to 2010 USDA imagery
Each summer USDA coordinates an interagency National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) to collect 1-meter color orthoimagery of the United States. This geomashup overlays this imagery of Nebraska for the years 2003 to 2010. Using this geomashup it is easy to compare changes in land use, cropping patterns, urban development, ... at this 1-meter resolution over this 7 year interval.
To prepare this example, the NAIP's annual county orthoimage files have been converted by TNTmips into a Google Earth tileset of Nebraska for each year. These annual tilesets are then selected in the TNTmips Geomashup process where the mashup's user interface is designed. In just a few seconds this process combines the links to these tilesets and the required HTML and Javascript into the geomashup (i.e., HTML file) used directly by the Google Earth browser plugin as illustrated in this example. You can optionally choose an html file to provide the side panel content below the list of layers in the geomashup.

Nebraska Geomashup with
Measurement Tools
Geodata for this mashup is described in the multiple year Nebraska example above
Measurement tools can be added to any Google Maps geomashup when it is created in TNTmips' Main / Assemble / Geomashup process. Simply choose the Measurement Tools on Map option for the Drawing Tools Type on the Options tabbed panel. The Measurement tools let you place a marker and display its coordinates in Lat/Lon or draw a path or area and provide continuous length or area readout as you continue drawing.
Other tool options for Google Maps include the search bar, overview map, scale bar, and various zoom types, as well as a transparency slider for overlays. You may also designate layer visibility controls to be radio buttons, which only allow display of one so-designated overlay at a time and automatically turn off selection of the previously displayed overlay.

High-Resolution
City Geomashup
source: 2008 orthoimagery,
City of Philadelphia
This geomashup combines high-resolution orthoimagery of a large urban area with standard base layers in several geobrowsers. The natural color orthoimage of the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, acquired in 2008, has a resolution of 10 centimeters (4 inches). This imagery reveals the urban landscape in fine detail, showing small structural features of buildings, landscaping, and street lane lines. It could provide a detailed visual reference for on-line planning, urban design, or civil engineering applications.
To prepare this example, image files for three city areas were downloaded from Pennsylvania Spatial Data Access and converted in TNTmips into a standard web tileset. This tileset was then selected in the TNTmips Geomashup process to design the mashup's user interface, which is specified in the HTML/Javascript files used by the links to the left.

Geomashups Prepared in TNTmips maps plans

Geomashups of Sydney, Australia
source: Orthoimagery from NearMap.com
NearMap acquires, processes, and publishes monthly 5 or 7.5 centimeter seamless color image coverage of all major Australian cities on a monthly repeat cycle and for other selected Australian sites and offers these via nearmap.com for public access.
This sample geomashup illustrates how their imagery, published via the Internet for access in tiles, can be used in a geomashup prepared in TNTmips. All the images used in these geoviews in your browser are fetched as tiles in real time from nearmap.com web servers in Australia. When you select a geoview your browser downloads the corresponding geomashup from microimages.com and it requests the required tiles from the appropriate NearMap servers.
Each of these geomashups includes four sets of NearMap imagery for dates from November 2009 to May 2010 covering the Greater Sydney area. Each date layer is actually a composite of imagery acquired monthly over several days or more with the date shown for the layer representing the final and nominal date of the acquisition of each layer.
The Google Maps and Bing Maps geomashups use the NearMap imagery as overlays over the proprietary base maps automatically provided by the geobrowser. Controls are provided to turn each overlay on or off and to vary its transparency.
The NearMap geomashup uses the Google Maps geobrowser and controls, but none of Google's layers. The four NearMap imagery layers are available as base maps; you can select which base map to show. A transparent overlay of streets and labels hosted by NearMap is also used in this geomashup as an overlay layer.
Several hundred different dates of orthoimage coverage of Australian cities have been acquired and are published at nearmap.com for use in their on-line viewer and applications. Since each of these emulates a standard web tileset, each can be selected and used via the Internet as a layer in any view in TNTmips Pro operating locally on your Windows or Mac computer when it is connected to the Internet. Adding these, or any other standard web tileset layer, to your local view via the Internet takes only a second and will match the exact scale, coordinate reference system, and area of all the other layers already in the view.

Geomashups of Adelaide, Australia

NearMap acquires, processes, and publishes monthly 5 or 7.5-centimeter seamless color image coverage of all major Australian cities on a monthly repeat cycle and for other selected Australian sites and offers these via nearmap.com for public access.
This sample geomashup illustrates how NearMap imagery, published via the Internet for access in tiles, can be viewed in 3D in a geomashup prepared in TNTmips. NearMap imagery covering Adelaide is shown as an overlay in the Bing Maps geobrowser, which can display the overlay in 2D or 3D. The NearMap imagery is fetched as tiles in real time from nearmap.com web servers in Australia. When you select this geoview, your browser downloads the geomashup from MicroImages, and it requests the required tiles from the appropriate NearMap servers and translates the tile identifiers into the form required by the Bing Maps geobrowser for 3D and 2D viewing.
