Composite globes and maps

Portable globes and maps can also be assembled into layers to create a composite globe or map, a single file (.glc) that contains all the geospatial data for assembled layers. To assemble a composite file, you supply a KML polygon to cut your area of interest, then specify the layers and order in which they display. See Create composite globes and maps.

Cutting a globe or map is accomplished with a simple web interface. You import KML, or use your mouse, to define a polygon, which defines your 'area of interest.' This polygon not only defines the area that displays high-resolution imagery, but is also used by Fusion to create a localized search database.

This polygon not only defines the area that displays high-resolution imagery, but is also used by Fusion to create a localized search database.

Note: The cutting processes are CPU and disk intensive, as they are retrieving all data within the specified polygon from the Earth Enterprise Server. This can affect the overall performance of the Server, including slowing end-user access.

To mitigate performance impact to end users, you may consider:

Map or globe name

Drawing the polygon

Once the globe or map name has been specified, you can define the geographic region to be cut by drawing a polygon on the globe. There are two ways to draw the polygon.

When cutting a 3D globe this method is only available if you are running the discontinued Google Earth Plug-in in your browser. This method works for cutting 2D maps from your browser.
  1. By default, you draw a polygon by hand so the Select Region drop-down list is set to Manual.
  2. Use the Hand tool Pan tool to pan, then using the navigation controls in the plug-in, zoom in to the region of interest.

    Introduction

    You can customize or extend GEE Portable, or create applications that work with it.

    To help you get started, Google provides two Hello World! files that you can copy and use as templates. These files (Hello_Maps.html for 2D maps and Hello_Earth.html for 3D globes) call the required scripts, load the globe or map, define the .css file, and so on. The files include JSON and, if needed, KML polygons.

    See the resources linked to below to learn how to edit and extend the Hello_Maps.html and Hello_Earth.html files.

    Note: Although it is possible to configure GEE Portable to display multiple globes or maps at the same time, this isn't recommended or supported.

    Note: Clicking any of these links connects you to a site outside your network. If you’re not sure if your organization allows outside connections, check with your administrator first.

    Hello_Maps.html and Hello_Earth.html are based on the Google Maps API and Google Earth API. More information about these APIs is linked to below. Also included are links to some resources for learning how to parse your JSON data and KML coordinates.

You can select what globe is being served from the administrative page. Click on the folder icon (Portable folder icon), and you should a see a screen where you can select what globe, or map should be served by Portable Server.

You can shut down Portable Server from the administrative page, as well. Click on the hamburger menu button (Portable menu icon), and then on 'Quit'.

The server directory under the directory the Portable Server archive is unpacked contains the main configuration file, portable.cfg. This file defines a number of options, but is primarily used to change the port on which the globe is served, if required.
