Pardon the note out of the blue, but not having much luck with the API or other online help, I thought I'd try you.
Any idea how Google Maps -- as Google Earth does by default -- show (not hide) the <name> of a <placemark>? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><kml xmlns="http:// www.opengis.net/kml/2.2" xmlns:gx="http://www.google.com/kml/ext/2.2" xmlns:kml="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2" xmlns:atom="http:// www.w3.org/2005/Atom"> <Document> <Placemark> <name>City Council House Mosaic</name> <Point><coordinates>-1.904396,52.480167,125</coordinates></Point> </Placemark> </Document> </kml> Also, any idea how to embed dynamic icons in a Placemark?
