Fly to RSS locations using Google Earth!

I've made a script that makes it possible to use Google Earth to fly from (geotagged) RSS entry to entry.

Check it out at: http://www.kovacevic.nl/hacks/kml/rss2kml.php

    Hi,
    I love this function.
    May you can send me the php script?
    Peter

    I agree, this rocks. We use georss applications for public participation in landuse planning. This would be a great fit for one of our tools (mappingkitforum.placematters.info), so I was wondering if you could send me the php file too, or maybe you have an explanation of how to use the xsl stylesheet.
    Thanks so much

    Good to hear! Thanks :-)

    I had sent Peter the script through mail. I have just now added a link to the php source. For your convenience:

    Make sure you have compiled xml/xsl functions in your php binary.

    Send me the URL if you have it running?

    Enjoy!

    Thanks for sharing this :-)
    Would you please advice how to do the reverese; i.e. KML to GeoRss

    Hi Essam,

    Since KML is XML, an XSL should do the trick. Check the source of my XSL and refactor:

    Good luck!
