Help! I am new to the Maps API world and am trying to figure out how to visualize a .kml file in my Google Map. The catch is that I can only work from my local machine, so from what I have read the GGeoXml functionality won't work since the reference to my .kml file will be http://localhost/...kml and not a public URL that google has access to.
I came across the GeoXML functionality from http://www.dyasdesigns.com/geoxml/. Am I right in that you can use this geoxmlfull.js script instead of the GGeoXml function? I am having trouble getting anything to work from this geoxmlfull.js script. I have downloaded the script and placed it in my http://localhost folder. Below is the code I am using to try and visualize someone else's .kml file. I have also tried this code to visualize my own kml file which also resides in the http://localhost folder. Can anyone help? My goal is to be able to see the .kml file in the http://localhost folder. The key I got from google was for the http://localhost URL. I am sorry about the code post, but I don't know how to share any more efficiently.
