KML file of point locations. Earth vs Maps

[Darragh O'Keeffe]

Hi

I have  KML file of point locations (created by exporting from ESRI ArcMap)

When loaded into Google Earth the points are displayed correctly,  i.e. they are static and do not move

In Google maps the points 'Move' depending on the zoom level. see http://gis.clas.asu.edu/testkml1.html

I require the points to be static and have the correct location.

I believe my code is correct so it this a known issue with the Google API?

Thanks,
Darragh

I don't see them "moving", but I don't know where they are supposed to
be and you do. Sounds to me like the anchor for the icon is in the
wrong place, you expect your "dots" to be anchored in the middle, but
you aren't specifying that and the kml processor is putting the anchor
on the bottom middle of the image.

See the kml reference:

And this reference to the subset of KML supported in google maps:
