The iPhone implementation of Goggle Maps does not seem to support KML
files, Online discussion seem to support this conclusion.
Specifically, a KML file's records can be loaded into the Maps app to
produce pin-drops (ad nausea), but the content of those records (i.e.:
address, phone numbers, URLs, etc.) will not be rendered when the
marker is selected:

NSString* yourURL = @"maps://maps.google.com/f=http://www.domain.com/
file.kml";

It seems however, that a query that specifies only the domain, one
that does not specify the KML, will return a limited number of records
from the KML source and, importantly, allow all the data in each
record to be viewed on the iPhone:

NSString* yourURL = @"maps://maps.google.com/?f=http://
www.domain.com";

This assumes of course that the website's content has been indexed by
Google Maps as "user-defined content." This seem to me great news, but
for the fact that only a few records will download at a time (as is
the case with a computer hosted web browser, where similarly, a
limited number of records would be listed under a series of
incrementally numbers Google index links at the bottom of the page).

Can anyone offer a solution that would allow ten, twenty or all (KML)
records within a given map view to be loaded with a general query (to
a simple domain)? Assume no licensing agreements were broken in the
process, this would be a simple workaround for porting KML content to
the iPhone.

Please advise
