KMLLayer not showing up on map

[Lars]

I have an kml-file feeding a map on http://www.posit.se/onmap2.php But no
icons show up (there should be 2). Tried to change name to avoid cache-issues, examined the
kml-syntax, changed the html. Had things working some weeks ago. Added
new pages. Stopped work and can not figure out whats wrong. Any
suggestions is greatly appreciated...

after much investigation it seems that swedish chars as ÅÄÖ codet as UTF-8 in name and decription-tags prevent the kml-file from beeing loaded as a layer on the map. I think it shoud as the file-format is stated to be utf-8, CDATA seems to solve this bug(?)

strange, got it to work yesterday, today no layers show up on live data http://www.posit.se/onmap.php?cat=1 sometimes when reload the map is resized (korrect) to show the whole of Swden (as there is speedcams allover) the kml-layer is in http://www.posit.se/kml/fartkamera.kml?rev=101215  and the rev is for new cache every day

[Lars]

if I use the example (http://code.google.com/intl/sv/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/layer-kml-features.html) and replace with my kml = no icons (infact in IE no map today but it was one yesterday ??, map in Crome)

my page and newyork.kml = icons

my kml validates on http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http://posit.se/kml/gas23.kml

 

Is it only my kml that doesn't work?

Nope! Same issue here. Google Earth shows up but does not draw my
placemarks. kml has been validated too. Dunno if i made a mistake,
forgot something or what else is causing this trouble.

Hi there,

One easy way to see how your KML will render in Google Maps is to use
the following URL:
http://maps.google.com?q=YOUR_KML

For example, these two maps seem to render correctly for me:
- http://maps.google.com/?q=http://posit.se/kml/gas23.kml
- http://maps.google.com?q=http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://www.posit.se/kml/fartkamera.kml%3Frev%3D101215

Is it safe to assume you are also able to see these maps? If so, are
they now working everywhere for you?

Cheers,

-Josh
