KMZ/KML files in Google Maps widget

Is there a way to add KMZ/KML files to the Google Maps widget?

Thanks

Hi Loren,

I modified the Google Maps Extension to read KML files, using as reference the link below:

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/layer-kml

I now have a parameter where I can reference a KML file.

Please let me know if you want some help.

Thanks

Hi,

If you don't mind helping me that would be great! Are you able to just send me your updated extension?

Thanks

Hi Loren,

You can get if from here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56013581/GoogleWidgets_ExtensionPackage_KML.zip

Using it is very straight forward: just add an URL for the KML file in the Widget property and it should show the layer with the routs or markups.

Unfortunately I am not generating a KML file yet but you can find many tools online that do that.

After importing the extension package should there be a new widget or will the original "Google Map" widget just be modified?

Thanks

The original will be modified
