Are you kidding? Please make a correct link url to the file! You’re missing the http://…. If you press on your Test Link it doesn’t open the kml file!
Link to: http://www.fishing-hotspot.co.uk/hotspots/Hotspot.kml
Sorry, I did try at first with just the www. anyway thanks it works now, but I do have another little problem.
Im using .kml files and for some reason the page loads up displaying the world map (not zoomed in)
Im not sure what im doing wrong:
http://www.fishing-hotspot.co.uk/sea-fishing-hotspots/sea-fishing-marks-in-cornwall/rock-fishing-at-newquay-headland-cornwall/
But here it works fine:
http://www.fishing-hotspot.co.uk/sea-fishing-hotspots/sea-fishing-marks-in-cornwall/porth-island-nr-newquay/
Is there a parameter I should use, if so which one as you sample files are in a different language 🙂
thank you
PS this is the best plugin Ive came across for mapping abilities
If you look at your first KML file, you don’t have any information in your file (in the second file you have at least one place). It’s impossible for the Google Maps API or this Plugin to the zoom and the position of the map view.
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<kml xmlns=”http://earth.google.com/kml/2.2″>
<Folder>
<name>Temporary Places</name>
<visibility>0</visibility>
<open>1</open>
</Folder>
</kml>
If you want only to show a region, use the parameters of example 5 from http://www.matusz.ch/blog/projekte/xml-google-maps-wordpress-plugin/beispiele/
Type this:
[xmlgm maxlat=47.0;minlat=46.5;maxlon=8.0;minlon=7.5]
Without any link and replace my values with your needed values (latitudes and longitudes).
