Yes! Yes, yes, yes! Well, in the sense that I get the page and your excellent parser reads the file and displays my polygons. All of them are trapezoids. None have been collapsed down into lines the way they've been in the standard maps API pages, or Google Maps itself. But none of them look **exactly** correct. That is, only the largest is drawn pretty much **exactly** the way it's drawn in Google Earth.
This is wonderful. I can't thank you guys, and especially Lance, enough for sticking with this. I'm remembering an immense long thread I read here while searching for a solution, about the relative merits of various simplification methods. The whole thing was mostly over my head (except in a very general sense) and it never occurred to me it might be relevant to my problem! Aaaargh! Anyway, this kind of proves that --in this case at least-- I'm *not* crazy. So, I think it's pretty well proven that I've "broken," in the sense of "reached the usable limits of" the Google Maps GGeoXml API regarding tiny polygons read from KML files. If that's the case, it's the case. I know Pamela isn't going to pop in here and tell me they're going to rewrite the whole shebang just so I can polygon a balcony from a KML. On the other hand, I find it difficult to believe I'm the first naive twit to complain about this. Maybe I'm just the first twit to keep on complaining until the Forum Saints came to his rescue? It's a big disappointment to me to find this isn't going to work easily. I certainly hope some other poor soul can use this thread to relieve their confusion. That would at least provide a bit of solace. I'm saying this because there's a reasonable solution to hand, right? At least, I hope I can make it work. Larry had great success with feeding the points through an XML file. But I'll never understand his source code. Maybe I can use Mike Williams' tutorials to splice together a bare bones "parser" that will show my lines and areas as well as Lance's code does. If I start on that in the next couple of days, will you guys help me over the rough spots? I think eventually this map might make a nice demonstration of what's possible with basic code. If that would ever be of interest. OK, let me know what you think of this rambling. Thanks, thanks, thanks!
