How to load a KML/KMZ file on map from local machine to Map

[Selvakumar Periyasamy]

Hi,

We have to requirement to load the KML/KMZ files from local machine to Map.

We tried GeoXML. Its not working KMZ files and Network link KML files.

We tried to convert the KML to GeoJSON object and load that GeoJSON object on map. It worked simple kml file and again the Network link KML files are not loading on map.

Is there any other way to load the KML/KMZ files from local machine to Map?

As per the business rules, We are not supposed to store the KML files in publicly accessible site or Google Drive, etc... and load from there.

Thanks,

Selva

Your business rules conflict with the API Terms of Service, specifically
9.1.1:

9.1.1(a) Subject to Section 9.1.2 (Exceptions), your Maps API
Implementation must be accessible to the general public without charge
and must not require a fee-based subscription or other fee-based
restricted access. This rule applies to Your Content and any other
content in your Maps API Implementation, whether Your Content or the
other content exists now or is added later.

9.1.1(b) Your Maps API Implementation must not operate (i) only behind a
firewall; or (ii) only on an internal network (except during the
development and testing phase); or (iii) in a closed community (for
example, through invitation-only access).

https://developers.google.com/maps/terms#9-license-requirements

Thus 9.1.1(a) stipulates that your data must be publicly accessible, and
9.1.1(b) means that you cannot operate your maps only internally.

The exceptions in 9.1.2 allow these restrictions to be lifted if you
have a Google Maps for Work agreement or something similar.

The restrictions you have found in the API are by design.
