After some more reading, it appears that google feed api may have an answer.
"With the AJAX Feed API, you can download any public Atom or RSS feed using only JavaScript, so you can easily mash up feeds with your content and other APIs like the Google Maps API. For Flash, and other Non-Javascript environments, the API exposes a raw RESTful interfaceNew! that returns JSON encoded results. These results are easily processed by most languages and runtimes." http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxfeeds/documentation/ Therefore I ask this question. Is it possible to use a "My Maps" RSS feed? Ideally this would then create a kind of formatted iframe of all the information in the Placemarkers and Lines of a specific "My Map" I am hoping the order would be as positioned in the Sidebar view of the My Map..
