The solution to this approach is to use the Google Earth returned XML
file.
This is the code to accomplish this:
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("maps", "2.x");
// Call this function when the page has been loaded
function initialize()
{
var map = new google.maps.Map2(document.getElementById
("map"));
map.setCenter(new google.maps.LatLng(37.781705, -122.447948),
13);
map.addControl(new GLargeMapControl());
map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());
var gx = new GGeoXml("http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?
ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&output=nl&msid=106070518142218002792.00045d1576793905568c4");
map.addOverlay(gx);
}
google.setOnLoadCallback(initialize);
</script>
There is a problem with this however if you are using Google data
points. For example, lets say you search for 'Apple Store', then click
add to My Maps and select a map. The relative link locations returned
in the KLM file are '/maps?datavalues' which are useless to click on
in your custom maps.
Any ideas how to do with maps.google.com information returned in the
KLM file in a sensible way without massive string parsing?
