KML support on Google Maps JS API v3

May 11th, 2010 Comments off

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.
