I had a marvellous (I'm often very modest) idea for TSP : - Google Earth is perfect for a low cost realistic display. - KML files in GoogleEarth allow to play and replay paths. - TSP is perfect to distribute in a portable way any trajectory (Satellite, Aircraft, ...)
So what about use the open source power to link any TSP Provider with the KML trajectory files of GoogleEarth ?
I've tried it, and it more or less a failure : The KML files used to describe the path need to be finished and complete (XML tags must be closed) .
So I can convert a plane trajectory and give it to GoogleEarth, but I can use it as a real_time display.
And as it's not real-time, I'm not interested to continue that idea. I give it to you, with the small java code used to generate a fake KML file
If someone knows how to plug real-time trajectory to GoogeEarth or want to go farther, please feel free to do it.
