I have a KML file that I am trying to load into Google maps. It zooms somewhere in the water with no route trace. This is the code I am trying:
var kmlLayer = new google.maps.KmlLayer(kml);
kmlLayer.setMap(this.googlemap);
“this.googlemap” has a Google map object. It is very simple example, but maybe I am missing something or my KML is not in the right format. My KML file can be download here: http://temp-share.com/show/gFHKdyG0Y. Can anyone help?
Google Map needs to be able to access this KML file direclty, in other words, your KML file must be publicly available, and must end with .kml or .kmz extensions (I believe).
To make sure the KML file itself is correct, you can always go to maps.google.com and put the URL in the search bar, it should be automatically recognized and rendered.
