I am adding the KML file as a layer on Google Maps using GeoChat: http://geochat.instedd.org/Map GeoChat uses Google Maps to display the map.
I am using Mozilla Firefox version 3.6.10 The KML file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2"; xmlns:gx="http:// www.google.com/kml/ext/2.2" xmlns:kml="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2"; xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";> <Folder> <name>Transparent test</name> <GroundOverlay> <name>Intensity Overlay: BRAC Small</name> <color>99999999</color> <drawOrder>1</drawOrder> <Icon> <href>http://earthquake.usgs.gov/shakemap/global/shake/2010bsa3/ download/ii_overlay.png</href> <refreshMode>onInterval</refreshMode> <refreshInterval>900</refreshInterval> </Icon> <LatLonBox> <north>31.3467</north> <south>28.0134</south> <east>53.7062</east> <west>49.7062</west> </LatLonBox> </GroundOverlay> </Folder> </kml> Thanks and Regards.
