This is more of an HTML/Javascript question than one of Google Maps API, but a quick answer would be to use a file element in a form, upload the file to your server, parse it in whatever manner you need to then pass the processed data back to your page as an xml stream. There is no direct way to upload a file from a user's computer to a page without going through a server first, Javascript security restriction. Just imagine if that could be done, there would be all sorts of malicious things going on without anyone being aware.
