Messing Around With Overlays

September 21st, 2007 · No Comments · Trackback/Ping ·

View near Artesina, Italy in Google Earth

Just messing around with overlay comparisons in Google Earth due to performance issues. I also ended-up comparing the noticable difference between custom processed imagery and imagery provided to Google, since I’m in there.

Custom processed imagery viewed as overlay

The first image is the default view taken from Google Earth. The second, a view of the same source-image from Digital Globe, custom processed for a client a while back.

My initial reason for messing around in Google Earth with overlays, was to try to figure-out why it seems like performance has degraded dramatically. Granted, I’m not using the SuperOverlay method for this — instead I’m viewing 256 x 256 JPG chips brought-in from a KMZ file locally. (But that’s really the core of the issue — that I’m loading locally and noticing a major load-time and performance problem.) I’m also noticing some degraded performance in loading SuperOverlay files as well, though it is better than the single region layer method.
