Good afternoon.

Has anyone encountered problems when attempting to host a KML/KMZ file
on SharePoint? Here is where I am:

- Google Maps API works when KML files are hosted on Google sites
- I can download the KML file by entering its SharePoint URL into my
web browser
- both the Google Maps API project and the KML are hosted in the same
SharePoint directory
- this is an Intranet site

Thanks!

Gretchen

That's the problem. KML/KMZ files are requested by Google's servers, rendered into tiles and then sent back to the client. On an Intranet, Google's servers can't download the file.
