Hey, I was investigating my problem a bit more and I tried using newer versions of the API but haven't had any luck yet. Having seen the bug a million time already, I noticed a trend in that usually the route traces (or kml files) that fail, are on the larger side in terms of size and complexity. I decided to peruse this lead and I came across this article
http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/mapsSupport.html It says that if the kml files being loaded are bigger or complex enough than what it lists in there, "....than a server-side decision is made about whether or not to render the document's features on the server or on user's web browser." I suspect that since my files are bigger than what it says in the article, I am seeing my problem. My question now is (or rather questions are): - Is there anyway to force client-side rendering? - What are the other ways to add the kml overlays to the map other than addoverlay() ? Any kind of help is greatly appreciated.
