The map referred to by this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Maps-API/browse_frm/thread/2e89c05a8b6c87bb/1a49fcf9b65c8c19?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=custom+icons+kml#1a49fcf9b65c8c19 had custom icons from KML. However, it doesn't seem to be live anymore. I can't remember whether he was using one of the third party kml parsers or not, but you might have to do that: EGeoXml: http://econym.org.uk/gmap/egeoxml.htm GeoXml: http://www.dyasdesigns.com/geoxml/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
