[SDI-Africa] FW: [T4A] Google mapping spec now an industry standard

[Roger Longhorn]

Or better yet, go to the source:

http://www.opengeospatial.org/pressroom/pressreleases/857

and get the standard, for free (OGC does not charge for its 
specifications, as do ISO and the national standards bodies), at:

http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/kml/

Best regards

Roger Longhorn
