I guess you are using GGeoXml then (which isn't the same as the third- party GeoXml, confusing huh) Try - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeoRSS which leads to http://googlemapsapi.blogspot.com/2007/03/kml-and-georss-support-added-to-google.html which is old, but hints that there are limitations - one common one is the size of the KML/GeoRSS to parsed is limited. This - http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/mapsSupport.html spells out KML limitations for GGeoXml, it would be reasonable to guess that the same parser has similar limitations for GeoRSS cheers, Ross K Google provides examples that seem to work > nicely, but doesn't actually explain the concept of what GeoRSS feeds > are or where to find them... > > > > On Tue, Jun 2, 2009 at 2:32 PM, Rossko <[email protected]> wrote: > > >> I can implement and use the normal one - traffic, panoramio and > >> wikipedia... but I can't seem to figure out how to go about finding > >> other ones (I would like to add weather to a map, for example, and > >> every URI I try to use simply doesn't display)... > > > I'm not sure what you're trying to do, as you don't provide any link. > > Perhaps you're trying to show other people's XML data on your webpage, > > in which case you will run into the 'cross-domain restriction' which > > is something you can search about. > > >> Can someone explain to me what this is?
