Hello!
I generate this KML:
http://teltonika.net.ua/GENA1258596132.kml

but ground overlays not works (images not showing). I tested in MyMaps
service in my Google account.
What is incorrect in this file?

What was the solution?

My Ground Overlay is not showing in Maps either, works in Earth.
Does Maps require anything more than in this simple example, maybe
drawOrder?

hi,
today i also faced the same problem.
at first i thought the problem is in my kml. but final i found that
actual problem is in "My Map". when you import the kml file, it cannot
import the groundoverlay.
but if you save this kml file in your server and search this kml url
in the "Search Maps" then it can show the groundoverlay.

here is an example:
http://adsoftbd.com/kml/show_test_kml.html
you can see the kml file output in the google map.
the url of the kml file is:
http://adsoftbd.com/kml/test.kml
if you try to import this kml file in the "my map". it cant import it.

again try to search kml file in the "Search Maps". then it can display
the kml. after that you can also save the kml in your "My Map" but the
creator or the map shows as "others".

hope this will help you.

Mamun,

Sorry but your example is not displaying the groundoverlay to me. Have
you checked it recently?
