MySQL DB Structure

Nodes Table:

ID
Name
Description
Longitude
Latitude
Timestamp
Altitude
Heading
Tilt
Roll
Panorama URL
Visibility3d -  list of ranges [from,to] - which nodes are visible from the current one. from, to are both relative to the current node, so merging several segments should not break visibility (not so easy in the map that is not linear path, but we'll think of something  - adding new nodes (importing KML) should not change the relative sequence of indices (kml "name" tag).

PHP Methods

Array GetData (ID)

Returns all database fields of a specific Node ID as array

AddNode (Array Data)

Save a new node to the DB supplying all database field

Array GetNodesAt (Lat, Long, MaxDistance, Limit)

Find an array of nodes that are not further away from the supplied coordinates (Lat, Long) than the MaxDistance. To prevent huge number of results being return I would add a limit parameter here. If the results reach the limit count it will just stop searching and return the results found so far.

void ImportKML (String KMLfile)

Works just like AddNode but can import a high number of nodes with a single function - read from a KML file

Notes

function distance ($lat1,$long1,$lat2,$long2) {
 $earthRadius=6378100; //meters
 $dlat= $lat2- $lat1;
 $dlong=$long2-$long1;
 $lat=($lat1+$lat2)/2;
 $dlong*= cos(deg2rad($lat));
 return pi()*$earthRadius/180* sqrt($dlat*$dlat+$dlong*$dlong);
}
