Google Earth as datasource

[Tord Nilsen]

Hi.

I have a simple webpage showing a map, some gpstracks, pictures and interesting spots and a link to a blog. The pictures is shown in a Panoramio layer and works very well, it is the gps tracks and interesting spots that gives me a headache.

I have had the data in a Fusion table, because then I can use <iframe> to show a pictures/slideshow from Panoramio from that track in a infowindow. But webinterface Fusion is a nightmare to work with when you have some data.

Then I played around with a kmllayer that came from Google Earth. The disadvantage is that the layer is filtering out <iframe>. The pros is that I easy can change icons on placemarkers, colors on lines and so on. (Just change/add in GE, save as kml and upload file)

I really want the best from two worlds, the easy maintenance from Google Earth and the marvelous integration from Fusion Table. 

Has anyone any suggestions? Is there anything I have missed?. Does I need to spin my head around and think differently?

Use KML files. (eg from Google Earth)

But dont use kmllayer - there are other KML parsers available, eg geoxml3

(although you might be able to use the click event on kmllayer - to
intercept the creation of the infowindow - and make the iframe work -
not tried this myself)

Thanks for leading me into right direction. The geoxml works sweet. But another problem has appeared.  https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/google-maps-js-api-v3/zaVmGV-VZVs
