Thank Joseph, Nice things you've done on your site. A lot for me to learn.
For my purpose, I'd need something a bit more transparent. I want users to pick markers from Map Searches or from other public MyMaps. This would create their own entries (features) on a MyMaps the app would have previously created. The Map they had build would also be available for the application. For that reason, I wish I could dynamically display a MyMaps. Your solution would work once a user has manually entered his 'View in Google Earth' link in the system so it can be saved in a Network Link. What I'd like is to skip the manual step: I'd like to browse a user's existing maps (I can already) and then display it based on his selection. The gdata mapsService seems only to support the getKML method on the Feature entry, not at the Feed (map) level. Thanks for your reply. There is more to learn from your solution than just this particular point.
