DESCRIPTION

16       This utility generates a directory with small tiles and metadata,
17       following the OSGeo Tile Map Service Specification. Simple web pages
18       with viewers based on Google Maps, OpenLayers and Leaflet are generated
19       as well - so anybody can comfortably explore your maps on-line and you
20       do not need to install or configure any special software (like
21       MapServer) and the map displays very fast in the web browser. You only
22       need to upload the generated directory onto a web server.
23
24       GDAL2Tiles also creates the necessary metadata for Google Earth (KML
25       SuperOverlay), in case the supplied map uses EPSG:4326 projection.
26
27       World files and embedded georeferencing is used during tile generation,
28       but you can publish a picture without proper georeferencing too.
29
30       -p PROFILE, --profile=PROFILE:
31           Tile cutting profile (mercator,geodetic,raster) - default
32           'mercator' (Google Maps compatible).

37           default 'average'.

66
67       -k, --force-kml
68           Generate KML for Google Earth - default for 'geodetic' profile and
69           'raster' in EPSG:4326. For a dataset with different projection use
70           with caution!
71
72       -n, --no-kml:
73           Avoid automatic generation of KML files for EPSG:4326.
