encoded polyline from kml

[Whiterock]

Is there any available way to take regular polyline kml files
generated by Google Earth and produce encoded polyline data? I have
found only one (www.gravoplex.com/polyline_encoder), which showed my
kml line on their map but didn't show on my map using the code given
by gravoplex.
I have many polylines in kml form and can not simply type them into
googles polyline encoder.

Hi Whiterock,

Take a look at this page for resources on how to encode polylines for
Google Maps:

You'll probably need to parse out the coordinates from the KML
manually, as I don't think the samples at the link above have KML
import functionality. You may also be able to combine the Java port at
the link above with libkml:
