Here are some links that will let you download KML files that were made by Google to hold someone's MyMap. The date should be the last time the file was modified. You can display these files on Google Maps simply by entering the complete URL into the 'maps' search window. You can also display these files on Gmap4 just by changing the msid value: http://www.mappingsupport.com/p/gmap4.php?q=mymap,100059448823219015761.0004787c6d8cab9b25399 ======================= 1-2-2010 I did not make this map. Maybe the author *wanted* some blue paddles. Most <href> tags do not start with http, thus further clouding matters. http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&output=nl&msid=100059448823219015761.0004787c6d8cab9b25399&output=kml Example styles: <Style id="style14"> <IconStyle> <Icon> <href>/mapfiles/kml/paddle/grn-circle_maps.png</href> </Icon> </IconStyle> </Style> <Style id="style13"> <IconStyle> <Icon> <href>/mapfiles/kml/pushpin/blue-pushpin_maps.png</href> </Icon> </IconStyle> </Style> ========================== 2-10-2010 I did make this MyMap. There are well over 15 green paddles. http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&output=nl&msid=105432215366276592381.00047f483776c3552b1fd&output=kml In the Google KML file each paddle has its own style and all styles are the same: <Style id="style1"> <IconStyle> <Icon> <href>http://maps.gstatic.com/intl/en_us/mapfiles/ms/micons/ green-dot.png</href> </Icon> </IconStyle> </Style> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
