Thanks for the quick reply and sorry for the confusion! I have created a google site with the code that replaces the "http:// mapgadgets.googlepages.com/cta.kml" path with "http://localhost/ doc.kml". I have also attached the doc.kml file to this site.
I see my map, and my map is centered where it should be, I just don't see the kml file. Is there an addOverlay() type command that I am missing while using the GeoXml function? Code and file: http://sites.google.com/site/mapsapiproject/Home Thanks! -Taylor On Oct 1, 4:51 pm, Lance Dyas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Your path is to an external webserver.. not localhost > to get something like that to work you need a proxy > script of some sort. > > var path = ["http://mapgadgets.googlepages.com/cta.kml";]; > > in other words you just posted something other than what you described. > > Taylor wrote: > > Help!
