There are the "RSS" and "View in Google Earth" buttons at the top of your "MyMap". The first give you a link to an RSS feed of the map content, the second what I called a "dynamic" KML feed (if you want to see the actual KML you have to go one layer deeper). > 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..
