GeoRSS is an emerging standard for encoding location as part of an Web feed. (Web feeds are used to describe feeds ("channels") of content, such as news articles, Audio blogs, video blogs and text blog entries. These web feeds are rendered by programs such as aggregators and web browsers.) The name "GeoRSS" is derived from RSS, the most known Web feed and syndication format. In GeoRSS, location content consists of geographical points, lines, and polygons of interest and related feature descriptions. GeoRSS feeds are designed to be consumed by geographic software such as map generators. By building these encodings on a common information model, the GeoRSS collaboration is promoting interoperability and "upwards-compatibility" across encodings. At this point, the GeoRSS collaboration has completed work on two primary encodings that are called GeoRSS Geography Markup Language (GML) and GeoRSS Simple. GeoRSS-Simple is a very lightweight format that supports basic geometries (point, line, box, polygon) and covers the typical use cases when encoding locations. GeoRSS GML is a formal Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) GML Application Profile, and supports a greater range of features than GeoRSS Simple, notably coordinate reference systems other than WGS84 latitude/longitude. There is also a W3C GeoRSS serialization, which is older and partly deprecated but still the most widely used. GeoRSS can be used to extend both RSS 1.0 and 2.0, as well as Atom, the IETF's latest standard for feeds. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Yahoo! maps GeoRSS? Q. GeoRSS does not seem to work well. I always encounters following message. "Please zoom out to see more map information...". It goes well when I draw map inside USA, but it goes wrong in the case of outside USA. Anybody who knows how to fix it ??? Asked by fantastic map - Tue Sep 4 08:55:20 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I haven't played with Yahoo Maps GeoRSS but the message seems to indicate that the data levels for non-US locations is not as robust, at least not in the area you are looking. Try over the UK to see what zoom level you can reach. You might also try zooming into a very rural area of the US to see if you can get the message again.

I have a list of addresses in Excel that I would like to be able to plot on a Google/Yahoo/MSN map and share with my friends. Does anyone know of a mapping service that has an import feature from Excel (or of a service that will convert an Excel doc/CSV file into GeoRSS)? I really, really want to avoid typing the addresses in one at a time... Asked by ultimateapp - Wed Jul 16 14:49:13 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. The maps can show exactly where ONE place is, OR the distance from one place to another. It can't pinpoint more than that because if you want to zoom in, there are too many locations for it to zoom in at. Therefore, you have to enter them one at a time.
