Subject: MapTiler: tile map publishing a la Google Maps/Earth including KML SuperOverlay

MapTiler is a new easy to use open-source desktop application for online map publishing. It runs on 
Windows, Mac and Linux and is fully scriptable thanks to a command-line interface of GDAL2Tiles 
utility.

MapTiler can be used to convert your map into a tile overlay of online maps like Google Maps, Yahoo 
Maps, Microsoft VirtualEarth or OpenStreetMap or a 3D overlay for Google Earth.
The only thing you have to do for publishing the maps is to upload the automatically generated 
directory with tiles onto your webserver.

MapTiler also generates simple JavaScript viewers based on OpenLayers and on Google Maps API.

Supported formats of input raster files for conversion are TIFF/GeoTIFF, MrSID, ECW, JPEG2000, Erdas 
HFA, NOAA BSB, JPEG and more.

Typical input raster data are aerial images, scanned paper maps, signal coverage maps, maps 
rendered with custom design from GIS or digital elevation model data.

MapTiler is a graphical interface for GDAL2Tiles utility, which is part of GDAL (OSGeo project).
