[ka-Map-users] Adding objects to map (kaMap 1.0)

Ok, I got it working. Reasons were clear, but not documented.

I had to modify file: tools/kaExplorer/startup.js

With following two lines (just before drawPage()):

myXmlOverlay = new kaXmlOverlay( myKaMap, 250 );
myXmlOverlay.loadXml('points.php');

This brings points from file points.php:

--CUT--
<?php
header("Content-Type: text/xml");
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'
?>

<overlay>
    <point x="26.76" y="61.6" id="P1">
        <label>Place1</label>
        <symbol shape="bullet" size="10" opacity="1" color="#FF0000" />
    </point>
  <point x="25.047750" y="60.209314" id="P2">
        <label>Station31</label>
        <symbol shape="bullet" size="10" opacity="1" color="#FF0000" />
    </point>
</overlay>
--CUT--

And contents of this points.php was mistyped by me. I highly recommend
firebug ajax debugger, it saved my day!

BUT, there is still one question. How do I make this refreshing work :
myInterval = setInterval("myXmlOverlay.loadXml('xmlget.php')",5000);

What file would be requested in place of xmlget.php which was in wiki
example ?

Regards,

Pasi
