1. Why have you decided to use KML? 2. Why should the solution be "layman friendly"? Programming is for programmers. Would you ask a surgeon to explain how to do surgery "layman friendly"? 3. Why don't you follow the group's posting guidelines and post alink that exhibits your problem?
Regardless of your skill level, the best way to get a good answer is to ask a good question, without making any assumptions that may be beyond your level of expertise. (like using KML for 22K points) :-) -- Marcelo - http://maps.forum.nu -- On Sep 8, 2:33 pm, Paul Preston <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you for taking the time to respond. > > We are at the early stages of implementing a KML solution to displaying our > data so we are still trying to understand how best to implement an efficient > service. > > At the moment we simply have a static KML file which is called on body load > and read by GeoXML.
