Is it possible to add a kml but center the map to another location?

[az]

I have a kml containing some points, its center is say, lat 45 long 50

When I first initialize the map i do it with coords lat 40 long 10, but it always centers itself on the kml's center.

Is it posible to make the map center on 40,40 even if the kml is not visible in this extent?

See the preserveViewport option to KmlLayer:

just add preserve viewport

var kml_layer = new google.maps.KmlLayer('http://some.kmz', {preserveViewport: true});

Hi

I tried this but it doesnt show the kml file.

http://www.kupuvalnik.com/test23.php

the map is centered over 25 east, there is a 3 point kml in britain (around -2W and 52 N) but it is not shown.

What am I doing wrong?

is this the exact syntax?

var ctaLayer = new google.maps.KmlLayer('http://garnet2k.dyndns.org:8080/people1.kml', '{opts?preserveViewport: true'});

Disregards the above, I got it working,

kml_layer = new google.maps.KmlLayer('http://some.kmz', {preserveViewport: true}); 

my bad :)

Thanks
