On My Maps click the 'View in Google Earth' link and save the KML file. Now open the KML file in a text editor and look at the <href> element URL.
Replace all occurences of & in that URL with &. The URL is now a link to the KML that you want to build your map with, you could use the API built in GGeoXml() method to build your map with the KML: http://econym.org.uk/gmap/geoxml.htm Or EGeoXml() can be used which allows more control over how the KML is rendered: http://econym.org.uk/gmap/egeoxml.htm Martin.
