HTML has completely transformed our world. Through the web, a
previously inconceivable amount of information is now just a few
keystrokes and mouse clicks away. What makes this possible is the
fact that web browsers, web servers, and many other pieces of
Internet infrastructure all speak the same language. Because of
Internet standards like HTML, any web browser can view any web
page. Internet standards are what makes the web a flourishing
marketplace.

Today, a new standard was born: The

href="http://www.opengeospatial.org/" id="pi6e" >Open Geospatial
Consortium has announced its acceptance of KML 2.2 as an
official OGC Standard. href="http://code.google.com/apis/kml/" id="pj:f" >KML started
as a file format for href="http://earth.google.com/" id="gh5v" >Google Earth, a way
to save out the list of restaurants or parks or hiking trails that
you might have drawn as a custom map. It's since matured into
something much larger, and is supported on a wide variety of
mapping platforms produced by a range of companies. You can even
view KML on your href="http://services.google.com/marketing/links/trekfan2006/"
id="mxzf" >cell phone! There are tens of millions of KML files
available online — a testament to just how much user-generated
content is now map-based information.

Mapping has come a long way from the origami paper creations of the
past. Our choice to give KML to the OGC is part of our strong
commitment to open standards. It's our belief that KML's
standardization will do much to make more geographic-based content
accessible online.

The official gain guest of Google Maps API reports, google Maps supports GeoRSS file form now, and the Mashups that Google Maps API still allows you to give you with the form of KML adds geographical data. The Frank Taylor of guest of imperscriptible Google Earth rich casts gave a few warnings:

The KML that Google Maps can handle is finite still. It can handle picture layer, polygonal, line, with ground mark. But, can be in only size less than of limitation. If be mark of about a hundred ground,the KML file of larger perhaps volume is no good. Still have, also do not support network link. Nevertheless, google is releasing more support gradually, I wish later these confine can be broken through.

[Thank Frank! [Thank Frank!!
