You need a unique reference to figure out which marker to point at ; there doesn't seem to be any truly unique ref in your KML, but placemark names look like they will serve e.g. "Athletic Complex" So call the map with the target name in the querystring ......map/?goto=Althetic+Complex Watch for the gotchas when creating the url - spaces, ampersands etc. Have some code in the page that catches the argument, and un- urlencodes it. Then basically you need to search through the placemarks for a match. I think an effective approach might be to exploit the existing sidebar. As the sidebar is built item by item, compare each with the passed-in query. If you get a match, remember it for later. When complete, trigger the zoom events just like a sidebar click. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
