Export the KML from my maps (or link to the dynamic version)
Parse the xml with an xml parser (KML is a subset of xml, you can use
GXml to parse it, but you don't need to if you don't have a map).
Extract the text and display it on your page (you can look at Mike
Williams' tutorial for ideas, there are lots of examples in this
group, but what you want to do has nothing to do with the Google Maps
API if you are not displaying a map...
