Hi there!

I guess there's no GGeoXML yet, right? Is that a priority at all?

Richard,

No, there's no KML support from Google yet. I've done a preliminary
port of EGeoXml, which you can download from http://sterlingudell.com/bgmm/Project/egeoxml.js.
It's not extensively tested, but seems to work as far as possible with
v3 - meaning markers, and not much else. If you want to do ground
overlays, let me know, they require a bit more work.

The URL was valid when I posted it, but I had to take my port of
EGeoXml down due to an open-source licensing disagreement.

So, I've spent my free time in the last couple of days writing a new
KML parser for v3 from scratch, which I'm calling geoxml3. An early
version is now available at http://code.google.com/p/geoxml3/; you'll
find the code there (available under GPL) along with some rough
documentation. The usage is slightly different than GGeoXml, EGeoXml,
or other parsers, but shouldn't be too hard to work out. I've tried to
make it extensible, with an eye to future development that I have
planned for it.

I've also moved the examples, to http://sterlingudell.com/geoxml3/,
but the old page URLs should redirect there. Some of the examples
require a KML proxy, so I can't host them at the Google Code project.

I'm currently working to extend geoxml3 to support KML network links,
and will post back here when there's progress to report on that front.
