In gmap you can:
Example:
unix:/home/seismo/WOR: gmap INPUT FILE NAME select.out Title: West Greenland [2000;2008] Number of Earthquakes : 945 Explosions : 0 Probable Explosions : 2 Other events : 2 Output file is gmap.kml
![]() |
To make an animation for events over time use the -timespan flag. As an example explosions in the south of Norway from 1983 to 2007 can be downloaded here: http://seis.geus.net/ber-exp.kml Press the play button at the time slider at the top of the Google Earth. Use the ruler to control how the animation is displayed (speed, days shown, etc.).

GMAP parameters added to SEISAN.DEF: Icon used for earthquake, explosion, probable explosion and other events:
GMAP_ICON_QUAKE http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/pal2/icon26.png GMAP_ICON_EXPLOSION http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/shapes/star.png GMAP_ICON_PROB_EXPL http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/shapes/open-diamond.png GMAP_ICON_OTHER_EVENTS http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/shapes/square.png
Events with magnitude smaller than GMAP_ICON_MSIZE will be plottet with size of GMAP_ICON_MSIZE:
GMAP_ICON_MSIZE 0.5
The scale of the earthquake icons is give by GMAP_ICON_XSIZE*magnitude**GMAP_ICON_YSIZE:
GMAP_ICON_XSIZE 0.2 GMAP_ICON_YSIZE 0.5
The scale of other events is furthermore multiplied by 2 Text can be added to the KML file, see this example, note the text must be placed from character no 41 to no 120:

GMAP -help:
unix:/home/seismo/WOR$ gmap -help The GMAP program converts Nordic format to the KML format. The output file gmap.kml can be opened with Google Earth. The program prompts for a input file in nordic format, the input file can be compact. The program also convert SEISAN station and polygon files. Usage: gmap [options] input file Title used for kml folder ## Options ## -help Print this list -h Same as -help -color Define color of epicenters [blue/green/yellow/ black/white]. Default color is red To uses other colors see describtion below -timespan Events gets timetag scroll in time domain -nodata kml file will only contain header infomation -errorellipse kml file will include error ellipse -ellipsecolor Define color of ellipse in 8 digit hex code -ellipsewidth Define width of the ellipse line, in pixels -stat Station locations given in STATION?.HYP files is converted to KML, output is gmapstat.kml To change color/scale/icon edit gmapstat.kml and change the content of Style Id=stat -poly SEISAN polygon files like DAT/SALVADOR.MAP is converted to KML, output is gmappoly.kml To change color/width edit gmappoly.kml and change the content of Style Id=poly -out_file Define name of output file (default is gmap.kml) -verbose Be more verbose -version Seisan version Scale: The scale of the icons is set by the SEISAN.DEF parameters GMAP_ICON_MSIZE, GMAP_ICON_XSIZE and GMAP_ICON_YSIZE, see the manual for details. Color: Color and opacity (alpha) values are expressed in hexadecimal notation. The range of values for any one color is 0 to 255 (00 to ff). For alpha, 00 is fully transparent and ff is fully opaque. The order of expression is aabbggrr, where aa=alpha (00 to ff); bb=blue (00 to ff); gg=green (00 to ff); rr=red (00 to ff).For example, if you want to apply a blue color with 50 percent opacity to an overlay, you would specify the following: <color>7fff0000</color>, where alpha=0x7f, blue=0xff, green=0x00, and red=0x00.
