You want the preserveViewport option of the KmlLayer set to false. > > 1.

You can do all that with the API, but there will be a steep learning curve as you are new to javascript. You may want to look at the third party kml/georss parser GeoXml in the v2 API: http://infoweb01.dhec.sc.gov/forestry/public_burn_out.xml It handles georss and is pretty mature. I think it will allow you to define your own icons. It hasn't been ported to v3 yet (there is a geoxml3, which parses kml, but it is nowhere near as mature and full featured as GeoXml). -- Larry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
