Example PolarGrid Web Feeds

To get all existing entries: http://pg3.ucs.indiana.edu/cgi-bin/getPolarGridFeed

To experiment GeoRSS feeds in Google Maps, point http://pg3.ucs.indiana.edu/cgi-bin/gm_getPolarGridFeed?entries=10 in the search bar, and click on "Search Maps". The value for entries is adjustable with the maximum 64 limit imposed by Google Maps.

To play with KML in Google Earth, point "Add->Network Link" to http://pg3.ucs.indiana.edu/cgi-bin/gm_getPolarGridKML?entries=10, where entries is similarly adjustable. The KML works in Google Maps too.

This is Je'aime from ECSU. I just wanted to say you did an absolutely outstanding job with this code. It is so cool!! I just can't get over the way the site can be plotted in Google Maps!!!!

Hey Je'aime, thanks a lot! I didn't expect to get real comments on this blog at all, now I'm really excited. ;)

Good Morning,
I have a research team project here at ECSU that's trying to lay the foundation for a collaboration with IU. Marlon Pierce told me that you were the individual who created the code to pull the information from the database for the Google maps. We have been taking apart your xml code just to learn about the interaction with google maps. We're now at the point though where we'd like to be able to pull the information from the database. What application are you using to accomplish this?

Thanks for your help!
