KML support on Google Maps JS API v3
May 11th, 2010
Today Google Geo Developers Blog announced KML support for Google Maps JS API v3.
There is a new class kmlLayer which supports both KML and GeoRSS. The examples are as follows :
GeoRSS Example :
var georssLayer = new google.maps.KmlLayer('http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/geo/?g=322338@N20〈=en-us&format=feed-georss'); georssLayer.setMap(map);
KML Example :
var ctaLayer = new google.maps.KmlLayer('http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ggeoxml/cta.kml'); ctaLayer.setMap(map);
There is also support for traffic and bicycling layers added at this version.
These are good signs to use V3 as new playground both for web and mobile applications.
