Combining multiple maps into a single map for embedding into my site

[Mark O]

Hello All,

I would greatly appreciate your help with advice on how to combine
three existing My Maps into a single Google Map that I can embed on my
nonprofit's website. I have applied for and received a Google Maps API
Key and have read a number of the Google Maps tutorials and searched
this group but have not found a solution.

I originally created the maps last year because I had 300 data points
but My Maps restricted me to only 200 data points per map. Is this
still the case?

I also looked into the Spreadsheet Mapper 2.0 to help because I want
to create a new version of these maps next week but it seems that I
can only have six templates and therefore six different map marker
icons displayed and I need a total of 12 different map marker icons.
Any solutions to this issue?

Thank you in advance for any assistance. Included below are the links
to my current maps.

In Peace,
Mark

One way is to use this:
http://gokml.net/?MyMaps
to create a KML file that contains all three maps. You can then view
that KML file on Google Maps - you can even then use the 'embed'
feature from the resultant map.

You can load them all onto one map, one GGeoXML layer per map. YOu can
add multiple layers to the same map...

I dont think the limit was ever 200 (it currently seems to be 1000), I
think you where running up against the 'per page' limit - when add
more features they automatically fall onto the second (or third etc)
page.
