For parsing KML, did you look at EGeoXml? Or you could parse it yourself, KML is just a dialect of XML, you don't need to use the formats in his examples. You can retrieve the data from the KML file if you load it with GDownload Url or GXmlHttp and parse it out. For the contents of elements, investigate GXml.value. -- Larry --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
