Google Maps API Tutorial - GGeoXml

GgeoXml

You use it like this:

   var kml = new GGeoXml("http://mydomain.com/myfile.kml");
   map.addOverlay(kml)

Potential Pitfalls

1. The KML file must be accessible by the Google KML rendering server. It won't work with KML files on your local computer. You don't get any error messages if the KML file is inaccessible.
    
   
2. GGeoXml overlays don't support .hide() and .show() methods. To hide them, use map.removeOverlay().
    
   
3. Calling map.removeOverlay() on a GGeoXml overlay recovers the memory used, and destroys the information. Once you use map.removeOverlay(xml), you have to re-create it before calling map.addOverlay(xml) again.
