OpenWetWare:Software/Google Earth API

Google Maps API
This Google service could support in many ways the OWW community:
 * visualize locations of the OWW users
 * display all the Institutions involved
 * find the nearest outreach officers

Google Maps API Registration
OWW key is: ABQIAAAALLbK9zjbd7JpTrkV4-YbwxRSXllrirTOP8BJPCtxjWVzsNMbFRQmkCSOpE5ARgUVPuqz3vsD2xHp3g

This key is good for all URLs in this directory:

Here is a map based on a KML file of all the OpenWetWare institutions in the World tour:

(The KML file is stored in Reshma's web directory because it doesn't seem to recognize the uploaded OWW version or the wiki page version ... something to do with the mime type perhaps.)

Ideally the KML file should live on an OWW page.

Here is an implementation of the map in javascript: demo

Here is an implementation of the map using wibbit: demo
