Thanks Tim for your feedback, I appreciate. Concerning "World Wind" it looks like you can visualize KML with placemarks since version 1.3.4. I just had a quick try, it seems to work fine for placemarks (but it doesn't seem to show the extrusion for lines in my "v2" KMLs, just the top): http://flickr.com/photos/frenchy/2490757820/
I've also heard Microsft's "Virtual Earth" supports KMLs now (but haven't tried it). It looks like KMLs are now spreading quickly since its 'Open Standard' adoption: """ The KML 2.2 specification has been submitted to the Open Geospatial Consortium to assure its status as an open standard for all geobrowsers. As of November 2007, the OGC has a new KML 2.2 Standards Working Group. Comments were sought on the proposed standard until January 4, 2008,[1] and it became an industry standard on April 14, 2008.[2] """ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyhole_Markup_Language That said I could try other formats like GeoRss and GML. """ as an overlay over existing osm maps? """ Yes that certainly would be nice :) I'll look at it when I'll have some time for it (OpenLayers, SlippyMap,...)
