Hi: May I heartily second Ralph Ames' comment: Very good example. Thank you I redid my page and for the most part it works well, particularly the loading, which is what I originally needed help with. However, I have been unable to do the following:
1) when the maps are built in Google Maps API, and not via KML, I could add a title to each marker which displayed when the mouse flew over the marker. I don't see that capability at all via KML. Is that correct? I can display the InfoWindow just fine, but not a title. 2) Using a custom icon does not seem to work. If I use a standard 32px x 32px google marker, seems fine. But I'd like to use smaller markers, 24px x 24px or even 16px x 16 px. But when I take the standard google marker (blue-dot.png, for instance) and scale it to either of those sizes, save it and reference it in the .kml file, the image appears no smaller and it appears fuzzy, as though it is being scaled up again. I know the KML <scale> element is not supported by Google Maps API If it matters, I'm scaling the icon to a smaller size using GIMP. Seems like I should be able to do this, but I haven't had any success. Thanks again.
