I had got a kml file from google earth.
I would like to pass it into a input box and then, the attributes such as line or maker or polygon which is plotted in kml file are to be displayed on google maps.
I didn't find any useful information regarding this in internet.
Can anyone give me the proper idea how to parse kml file using html input box and then displaying it on map?

I'm trying to convert a KML file with a lots of polygons into an image in order to put it into a PDF file with PHP. Is there any solution to achieve that ? I tried with Google Static Maps API but there are too much polygons. Thanks in advance.
It doesn't involve PHP, but you could load the KML file into Google Earth Pro, and use the "Save image" tool (or just a screenshot) to export an image version of the map with the KML polygons.
If you don't want the map as the background, you can overlay a large filled polygon behind your KML polygons to give them a solid background color (white or otherwise). May have to play with Draw Order settings in the KMLs to get them to overlay in the desired order.
I have a map created in My Maps, and I wand to embed it in a website, however I'd like to have InfoWindows on marker click instead of the default side panel, and change the description a bit.
From what I found, the only way to do so is to use a regular Google Maps API and add my data onto it with a KML layer. This is working, however, the icons (the pins) are highly pixelated and look terrible. When using the same map via embed (or simply opening it) they are OK.
Would really appreciate any help with the issue. Probably there is another way of adding a custom map to an API-powered map?
The answer I've come up with is: no way to achieve what I'm looking for.
When exporting KML layers, Google scales all icons to 32X32 px, and then scales them up (kml file contains scale 1.1 directive). Even if you change the scale, the files remain 32X32, so it does not help; you need to create another files, in other words: the kml exported from Google is not usable if you have custom png icons.
I ended up using regular markers instead of KML layer.
I am using this link, but unable to show google map. I am searching for a specific location display with polygon lines with surround area in search location. How to display with search location with polygon lines in google map using JavaScript.
TIA
I'm creating an AngularJS app that basically has a table and a search bar. The table is locations, and when you click on a link its supposed to take you to said location via an embedded Google Map. Im having trouble with the Map when I try to Pan it to the new location. Here is what the app looks:
Is there anyway to be able to click on a name/coordinates (name is preferred so I can remove the coordinates column) and convert the coordinates to a string/object that I can use to set a location on Google Maps?
Thanks in advance!!!
I would like to do something like what is shown in the screenshot - http://themanyfacesof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/map.png
I want to be able to highlight certain areas on a map using PHP as a server side technology and jQuery(preferable) on client side with some tooltip functionality. Is there anything available or any idea how this could be achieved with the complexity involved?

Look into using Google Maps for this. You can overlay lines and polygons which effectively means you can do anything - for example Loughbrough University does this.
A good way to start is to
Log in to Google
Go to Google Maps, then to my maps and create a new map
Draw polygons and line using the tools provided
Right click and copy the link for Google Earth, visit this link but change the output to KML output=kml. KML is just like XML
You now have a file with the exported polygons and lines that you drew. You can then re-draw these onto a Google Map programmatically
I did this the other day to get some rather complex polygons drawn onto a map without having to trial and error the latitude and longitude coordinates for them.
Hope that helps.
