I've been trying this for quite some time now, but every approach fails at some point :(
What i want: 1. Upload Pictures to a picasa album 2. Add the geo information to these pictures (no problem till here) 3. View these pictures on my map (which is included in my blogspot blog) , but not as these ugly big thumbnails, instead i just want a small custom marker and show a preview of the picture when i click on it. I uploaded a picture to make clear what the result should look like: http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/9035/custommarkers.png These are the approaches i've tried so far: a) Get the kml url for the picasa album and just use the new kml layer in google maps. That's where you get the big thumbnails and i can't find a way to specify custom markers. It should be possible to change the kml file on the fly before rendering it, but my javascript skills are not enough for that and i think it's not a clean solution. b) Using the KML processor "geoxml3" from http://code.google.com/p/geoxml3/. Actually this is exactly what i need, you can specify an kml file and override the CreateMarker call. But as the XMLHttpRequest can't get my kml from a remote address (picasa), and i don't see any way to use a proxy in my blogspot blog, this approach also didn't work for me. c) Parsing the GeoRSS Feed i get from picasa and create the markers on my own. This sounded like a good idea to me, but i seems like the georss information (georss:where...) is stripped in the response when using Google Feeds Api. Does anyone know a clean solution for this problem? My javascript knowledge is very limited, samples would be great! BlogURL: http://worldprojectmap.blogspot.com/p/map_31.html Thanks!
