Abstract

Keyhole Markup Language (KML) is an XML notation for expressing geographic annotation and visualization within two-dimensional maps and three-dimensional Earth browsers. The MSS software currently supports in a very crude manner the overlay of KML files on the shown maps to support flight planning.

In this project, I will redesign and implement a better UI to display multiple KML files simultaneously. I will also be focussing on enhancing useful features from KML specification and implementing them in the MSS frontend.
