I hope it is possible to get the file from localhost, in some way or another. I was wondering, would using Gears API make this possible ? Do they work together, Gears and Mapplets ? > You'd have to upload your XML files to a web host and then you'll be > able to use them in your Mapplets. The .xml file refreshes every 5 seconds or less, and is different and **private** for every user. Having it uploaded it to a web host wouldn't be a desired solution. > I take it your Google Maps API application is also running from your > localhost so it can see the XML file. No, my Google Maps application is running on a public web server, and only making calls to the local server for this file. Yes, it does work. Of course only on the computer that has that local server installed, as it should. The XML file is private to that user only. > Also please also note that you can only use localhost or internal > servers for testing purposes for the Maps API, anything you create > using the API must be freely available on a website.
