The Google Map generator creates maps based on IRIS DMC metadata holdingsEither a network or single station map can be generated
Each map produced includes a link to the same data as a KML NetworkLink appropriate for Google Earth
Network and station parameters can be specified directly in the URI path:
http://www.iris.edu/gmap/[network]/[station]Recognized parameters:
sidebar=0 - Turn off station list sidebar, default is on
networkcolors=0 - Turn off unique colors for each network, default is on
gelink=0 - Turn off link to Google Earth NetworkLink, default is on
lean=1 - Turn on lean mode to create a smaller banner/header, default is off
kiosk=1 - Turn on kiosk mode to disable external links, default is off
net="network" - Specify SEED network code
sta="station" - Specify SEED station code
loc="location" - Specify SEED location code mask, not included in output
chan="channel" - Specify SEED channel code mask, not included in output
minlat="degrees" - Specify minimum latitude [-90 <= X <= 90]
maxlat="degrees" - Specify maximum latitude [-90 <= X <= 90]
minlon="degrees" - Specify minimum longitude [-180 <= X <= 180]
maxlon="degrees" - Specify maximum longitude [-180 <= X <= 180]
startbefore=YYYY[/MM[/DD]] - Specify stations starting before this date
startafter=YYYY[/MM[/DD]] - Specify stations starting after this date
endbefore=YYYY[/MM[/DD]] - Specify stations ending before this date
endafter=YYYY[/MM[/DD]] - Specify stations ending after this datetimewindow=YYYY[/MM[/DD]]-YYYY[/MM[/DD]] - Specify a time range that stations must be operating within
If the end date is omitted is is assumed to be the same as the start time, for example timewindow=1999/1/1 would be intepreted as (1999/1/1-1999/1/1) i.e. operating on that specific day
If the month and/or day is omitted from the time window start date the earliest month and/or day will be assumed, for example a start date of 2000 will be interpreted as 2000/01/01
If the month and/or day is omitted from the time window end date the latest month and/or day will be assumed, for example an end date of 2000 will be interpreted as 2000/12/31
External data:
xmlref=URL - Specify URL of XML data to use, must be in the same format as returned by http://www.iris.edu/cgi-bin/xmlstationinfoExamples:
Basic example to list the IRIS/IDA network:
http://www.iris.edu/gmap/?net=II
or equivalently:
http://www.iris.edu/gmap/II
Another example that will list just IU station COLA:
http://www.iris.edu/gmap/IU/COLA
Example for _GSN virtual network list:
http://www.iris.edu/gmap/_GSN
Example for TA network list for stations operating in the 2nd half of 2004:
http://www.iris.edu/gmap/TA?timewindow=2004/6/1-2004/12/31
Example for _GSN virtual network list for stations operating in 1998:
http://www.iris.edu/gmap/_GSN?timewindow=1988-1988
Example for selecting stations in an area [Washington State, USA] without selecting a network:
http://www.iris.edu/gmap/?minlat=46&maxlat=49&minlon=-125&maxlon=-117
