Re: Reading "My Map" data using API

On My Maps click the 'View in Google Earth' link and save the KML
file.

Now open the KML file in a text editor and look at the <href> element
URL.

Replace all occurences of &amp; in that URL with &.

The URL is now a link to the KML that you want to build your map with,
you could use the API built in GGeoXml() method to build your map with
the KML:
http://econym.org.uk/gmap/geoxml.htm

Or EGeoXml() can be used which allows more control over how the KML is
rendered:
http://econym.org.uk/gmap/egeoxml.htm
