Please someone I need some pointers on this issue.
I have tried to to use both the network and parse methods and still can't get this kml to load.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

Using the kml validator at
http://feedvalidator.org/
there were a couple of problems with the above kml

<folder></folder>
should be
<Folder></Folder>

and it could be that you've transposed your values in the point
coordinates as they should be longitude,latitude,(altitude) and
latitudes are between -90 & 90. Swap those around and change the
Folder thing and it then validates.
