Hmm ... this is weird, because I can see my kml file that I've
uploaded on my web server with the "aram_test_dev" directory as well
as an example, but they both are not appearing when I try to import
them.

Thanks a lot for the link provided String. It's good to know that kml
files can be viewed in a google earth setting. However, when I tried
to add .setMapType(G_SATELLITE_3D_MAP) after map.addOverlay, it didn't
seem to have any effect. Can you please take a look at the source
code in my example page here:
http://www.iongeo.com/aram_test_dev/map5_working_example.html
Also, that link you've provided didn't seem to load the kml file the
same way as the one I am trying, as a general question, how did the
kml file get loaded?
Thanks for everything.
Mike
