Take the 2-minute tour ×  I want to draw circles of certain
radius on a map using openlayers . But the latitude,longitude &
radius values are given in a excel sheet. I badly need a help
from you people to how to carry in this work in openlayers. I
heard that openlayers doesn't take data from excel sheet. so to
which format I have to change my excel file? And how to draw
circles on the map? It will be greatful if you can provide me
the code(atleast sample code)  share|improve this question add

Openlayers   http://geographika.co.uk/creating-a-geodesic-
circle-in-openlayers you will need your data in json - Google
Spreadsheets can do this    share|improve this answer It's
perhaps a bit too complicated to draw geodetic polygons. Here is
a demo using MapFish client (so OpenLayers) :
