Maybe the most common solution for gadgets in this case could be to rely on a service (e.g. Google Maps ) and provide the id of the map to be embedded or OTOH to add an option to the gadget so that users may specify an URL pointing to KML files ... and both of them would be handled just fine using the current approach. -- Regards, Olemis.
