The initial suggestion was NOT to use MGMaps, but to use GMM, enter the
URL to your KML into the search field and let GMM render the results.
But If I understand your scenario right ("show, what's around"), you
intend to get data based upon your position. For this GMM is not
sufficient, because your KML would have to be generated dynamically
server side, depending on where you are currently. You would have to
provide your position to your KML generator, but there is no such an
open API with GMM to achieve that.Alternatively you could place your
POIs on a Google "MyMap", but I'm not entirely sure, whether GMM is able
to search and find for your POI tags (It is always able to find "pizza",
but probably not that, what you want).
Technically it's possible to use the GMM tile engine in order to roll
your own map, but this violates GOOGs T&Cs. Therefor MGMaps does not use
Google Maps at all (as it does in previous versions), but uses Yahoo and
MS tile engines, which have a 1:1 comparable math for mapping geo coords
to image coords, just the syntax to obtain it differs. And they
obviously don't care about such kind of "abuse", as Google did (watch
the notes at MGMaps side).
For mobiles J2ME is your choice (or Android or Python for a less generic
approach). More details, if you are willing to go the hard way :)
