This could be a dumb question, but I can't seem to figure out the
problem.

Here is the url to the page with the map I am talking about:
http://www.uky.edu/UKFCU/membership.php

There used to be an overlay over the map that was shaped like the
overlay on this map:
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&ie=UTF8&hq=UKFCU+Membership&hnear=&t=h&msa=0&msid=109220166310348897073.0004657ac493a14e9042a&ll=38.084041,-84.531212&spn=0.190784,0.445976&z=12

But recently in the last couple weeks this has stopped working.
Looking into it, I found that the KML file used in the map from the
first link (http://www.uky.edu/UKFCU/js/area.kml), which I got from
the second link map when I clicked on "view in google earth," it (the
KML file) links to the actual KML file on google's server. When I try
to go the file to get the coordinates (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?
ie=UTF8&hl=en&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=109220166310348897073.000476ffaaa7f2100792f&output=kml)
it tells me I am unable to connect. Which may be why the overlay is
not showing up, that's just my guess. But since the "KML" I am hosting
is referencing a KML file on google's server, which I think should be
the same KML used to create the overlay on the second link map, it
should still be showing up.

So I am not sure if there is something wrong with google's server or,
I think there was an update to the API over the last couple weeks, and
maybe that is what is causing my overlay to not show up???

I also loaded the KML file from my server (http://www.uky.edu/UKFCU/js/
area.kml), although from my desktop, into Google Earth and the area
shows up, so I am thinking that Google's servers are working just
fine. However, I copied out the raw KML file from GE and tried to load
that in the map on my site (http://www.uky.edu/UKFCU/membership.php).
However that didn't work either. I'm not sure if there is style
information included when you copy the KML from GE, but again that is
just a thought.

Anyone who can point me in the right direction would be much
appreciated. I tried to search for a similar topic but couldn't find
one, I apologize if this has already been discussed.

Thank you,
Andy
