Hmmm, Ok here is the order of events, as I understand you are proposing ...
1. User requests itinerary in the Google Maps UI 2. Upon receipt of the itinerary, the client code POSTs a request to the server with the corresponding data 3. Server does "its thing", creating a file on the server and returns the kml file path and name to the client. 4. Client code then creates the KmlObject overlay, passing the kml file name recuperated from step 3 Have I understood correctly ?
