Connecting to Google Spreadsheets

#This describes how to connect to a google spreadsheet

Introduction

Some folks generate content in google docs. It is easy to connect google spreadsheets to BerkeleyMapper by choosing the tab delimited text option in Google Docs.

Details

An example "tabfile" that is tab delimited can be called using a link like the following:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0At2sqNEgxTf3dEt5SXBTemZZM1gzQy1vLVFNRnludHc&output=txt

Note the part on the end "&output=txt". Just append that to your google document.

The configuration file can be constructed like any ordinary configuration file.
