The inner text node of a href element must not include spaces. I found then when I tried to include a GroundOverlay linked to a file with spaces... No error raised, the overlays were just wouldn't display.
The references in question aren't very handy for trouble-shooting -http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/kmlreference.html#href -http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/ kmlelementsinmaps.html#viewboundscale -http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/ reference.html#GGeoXml Eventually I made my way over to maps.google.com, which, fortunately enough, shows errors at the bottom when you plug in a KML file: "Parts of [url could not be displayed because it contains errors ... Line x: <Icon> contains syntax errors ".... Google Earth doesn't do this automatically for some reason? For a while I thought it related to the "viewBoundScale" element being present and un-supported in web-map... however this was not the case. Eventually I tried replacing spaces with %20 and this did the trick. So, I suppose this posting can serve as an FYI for anyone wondering why their ground overlay isn't displaying when loaded from a KML file.... without errors. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
