Google Earth Compatibility

To use some of the advanced features offered by Google Earth in your Kml files (such as a tour) there exists the several classes in the SharpKml.Dom.GX namespace to help you.

However, for the results to display correctly in Google Earth, the Google extension namespace must be added to the root kml node. Below is a simple example that creates a tour.

using System;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Xml;
using SharpKml.Base;
using SharpKml.Dom;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[]() args)
    {
        var flyTo = new SharpKml.Dom.GX.FlyTo
        {
            Mode = SharpKml.Dom.GX.FlyToMode.Bounce,
        };

        var tour = new SharpKml.Dom.GX.Tour
        {
            Playlist = new SharpKml.Dom.GX.Playlist(),
            Playlist.AddTourPrimitive(flyTo),
        };

        var kml = new Kml();
        kml.AddNamespacePrefix(KmlNamespaces.GX22Prefix, KmlNamespaces.GX22Namespace);
        kml.Feature = tour;

        Serializer serializer = new Serializer();
        serializer.Serialize(kml);
        Console.WriteLine(serializer.Xml);
    }
}
