According to the documentation, the draw() function has no return
type. However, when I look at the examples, we have:
var kml = map.draw(data, options);
This suggests that the draw function actually returns a giant KML
string, which is then drawn into Google Earth with,
var kmlObject = earth.parseKml(kml);
earth.getFeatures().appendChild(kmlObject);
Now, it seems like I could just work within the Javascript API, take
the variable kml, and just import it into Google maps with the ggeoxml
object. Does this make sense?
Thanks.
