Google Maps Lacks KML Support

For some reason, the Palm Pre version of Google Maps does not support KML files. The full web version allows you to enter the URL to a KML file hosted on a web server into the search box and it will display the points in the KML file on the map (just like Google Earth does). This also works on other mobile platforms, including the iPhone/iPod touch, and some Windows Mobile phones. Does anyone know if this is going to be added? I use this feature in Google Maps for fleet management. I foolishly assumed that the feature set in the Pre version of Maps would be similar to the iPhone and other platforms.

Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I read through the posts and I'm happy this has been put on the "list".
I work for a state agency and I'm working on developing free map sets for mobile phones (e.g. hiking trail information). I got the Pre to help me with testing and I'm extremely dissapointed to see that .kml's and .kmz's are not supported. Had I known this I would have gone with a blackberry and would advise others against purchasing the pre.
These units have great GPS capabilities making them really practical for importing data sets, this is very dissapointing. Perhaps I'll just have to put a note on our webpage saying that the Palm Pre doesn't support mobile google map files....

My Eris? Only minor occasionally glitches (force closes or bad apps) and just recently found one tiny dead spot in the LCD screen (no big thing). Biggest thing is I have NOT had to pull my battery in months! I think it was more my fault the last time it happened.
The main reason I think my phone is so problem free is I did a factory reset soon after 2.1 OTA update.
Btw I went from a Motorola W385 to the Droid Eris. Big learning curve, but I enjoyed the trip. LOL

Are google maps no longer supported?

Hi all,
Since a couple of weeks I noticed that the Google Maps are no longer supported either by iWeb, Google or Apple (probably not the last one, because on a Windows computer I don't get to see the Google Maps as well in my iWeb websites…)
I use the '09 version of iLife -> iWeb (3.0.4)
Any heard anything about this matter..?
Regards, Bas

Thank you!
Since you're the professor here, maybe you can help me with this one… I'ld like to make a simple Twitter feed on my iWeb site for this company: https://twitter.com/ToastyLunchroom
How do I do that? When I use the widget, Twitter.com provides all I get is this link:
Tweeds van @ToastyLunchroom
I need it to look simple, like this:
https://twitter.com/settings/widgets/245838808757714944/edit?focus_textarea=1&no tice=Je+widget+is+aangemaakt.
Your help is much appreciated!

Create .kml based google map in iWeb

Using iWeb 08, I can easily and successfully insert google maps into my pages using the web widget. I am then limited to an address though for the base map.
Does anyone know whether it is possible to insert a google earth based .kml file in iWeb so that when a user opens the page, the desired placemarks etc... are displayed and available?
If so, how might I go about accomplishing this?
any pointers are very much appreciated!

Don't use iweb2 google map widget.
Instead, go to google map, enter the GPS coordinates, then add it using HTML Snippet. See this thread:

Kml file on google map on labview

Hello there!
I'm planning to add a Google Map into LabVIEW but this time, with a KML file. I made a KML file and I would like to also load it with the Google Map in LabVIEW. How can I do it?
Thank you very much!
I really wish to become an Electronics Engineer before I'm 21.
Been 1 year in LabVIEW but still a beginner.

How can I put these kml files with google maps into my VI?

Of course you have to pay for GPRS/3G traffic.
Cheers.

Sometimes you can't beat a printed map!
If you can find a map that has coordinates (Long, Lat) and print it then you can use a BT GPS receiver to get GPS data into your phone (I think it's possible), to know where you are and then use the printed map.
I've used this method for hiking, since the hiking routes don't show up on any of the online maps I've looked.
Oh and to get to Google maps, scan this with your device:

Flash 11.1.102.55 crashes IE8 on Google Maps / street view

Since the Flash update to 11.1.102.55 I have had repeated crashes of my 32 bit Windows XP SP3 system. They typically have happened in Internet Explorer 8, 32 bit version (updated with latest MS patches).
Sometimes the IE8 lock ups can be cleared by using task manager. About 30% of the time, a machine power down/ reset is the only solution -- the screen freezes (mouse won't move, clock stops, Ctrl-Alt-Del won't work).
The machine is a Lenovo Z61p with 3Gb available memory.
I have been able to repeat the crashes by going to Google maps.
Example:
1. Go to Google Maps
2. Look at Arlington National Cemetery in regular view
3. Move the "Street View" stick figure to one of the Panarama photo points. Screen with show photo view
4. In the shrunken lower right corner map view, expand the map view to cover half the screen.
Things may get dicy about now.
5. Try moving the stick figure on the map. OR try expanding the photo to full screen.
I get repeated lockup at this point.

Try using a different browser. I use Firefox which you can download from here: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/
If you don't like the "Tabs On Top" layout, you can move them to below the location bar by simply right clicking a blank part of it and then click the menu items called "Tabs on top" to remove the checkmark. Tabs will subsequently appear below. Other tab layout options can be found in this support article: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars
There are no issues with Google Maps as far as I'm aware.

Google Map Issue in OBIEE - Subject area not getting associated

Hi Gurus,
We are trying to integrate Google map and OBIEE via mapviewer. We have done the following already -
1. Loaded World Sample data from Navteq.
2. Configured mapviewer source and added Google map as a tile layer with the API KEY.
3. Imported one layer (e.g. M_STATES_ABRV) in OBIEE and linked it with BI subject area (tried this step with importing other layers as well)
4. Added background map.
Now , in this step when we add the layer in the map, we select M_STATES_ABRV and change zoom levels. But Once we come back to main screen after Clicking OK, we see the background map is not associated with the subject area. Hence any map view report creation with this subject area fails.
We have the tried the same theme with Oracle Maps (internal type like WORLD MAP or DEMO MAP), it works fine. only Google Map gives this issue.
This was not expected. Please suggest what we missed. We tried with cache clear, tile delete and recreation, service restart almost everything .
We looked into other threads in this community, different oracle support documents - Doc ID 1485088.1,Doc ID 1346805.1 etc and in different internet blogs - where it's easy as child's play, but we are still out of luck.
OBIEE version - 11.1.1.7.140527
Environment- windows server 2008 R2
Please suggest.
Regards,
Krish

I have found the solution: You need to *select* zoom levels for the BI Layer. When a BI Layer is added to a background map, by default no zoom layers are selected. Once a zoom level is selected, the BI Layer will save.

Safari 8 hover does not work over google map location pins

OS X 10.10.1, Safari 8, Java 8-25
I have always had little odd things not work when using safari on a large % of websites I visit, the latest issues are
no response when hovering over google map location pins, travel site calendars not opening or responding to mouse, drag and drop
show the item being dragged several inches away from the actual pointer, some links don't respond, missing items
or odd layout with print or pop ups going off the screen on some website pages, zooming in and out does not help. I have none
of these issues when using Firefox or Chrome. Been using Safari for 4 years now.

Have you tried a PRAM and an SMC reset? They're longshots, but don't take long to try.
PRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
SMC: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Have you run Apple Diagnostics from the disc(s) that shipped with the computer?
Since the problem occurs in all browsers, it still sounds like a video hardware or video RAM or maybe a software issue having to do with layers and rendering.
The map layers aren't getting rendered, or if rendered, aren't getting displayed.
Do you have any browser add-ins? Pop-up blockers?
Since you have two video chipsets, it's possible that might be related to the issue.
This non-Apple website talks about switching between chipsets on the various MacBook models so equipped, and points to a free 'donationware' program for the menubar that lets you easily switch between chipsets:

Trying to think of other software that might help pinpoint the problem, does the iPhoto Slideshow 'Shatter' template work? Working properly, it 'shatters' images into several color layers and rotates them in and out to build and deconstruct photos.

Google maps does not work

I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my Macbook Pro. No matter which browser I use, Google maps will not render the map detail - instead it just shows the target location with a letter 'A' or whatever, but the background map is just grey with no features. It makes no difference how long I wait either. I have used the various features in browsers to clear out the 'junk' and have used 'reset safari' when in that browser, Still no joy. I have had the MBP for two years and I expect this simple feature to work as it does on all my Windows PC's and iPhone. I am at my wits end and feel somewhat duped into the Apple world by the triumph of 'form' over function. I want to love my MAC but it aggravates me instead because I spend too much time trying to figure out how to get basic features working when in fact they should work first time without user intervention.
Has anyone got a 5 minute fix for this ridiculous fault please? I cannot upload a screen grab either because (1) this Apple forum wont allow upload of my screengrabbed jpgs of tiffs, or (2) my MBP wont allow it (despite them being within the expected size limit). Another spectacular own goal by Apple.

Google maps and google help not loading anymore! help!

Google maps and google help aren't loading since I've updated firefox. Works in Chrome no problem. Tried everything listed here: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Error%20loading%20web%20sites, re-installed flash, cleared cache, etc... what am I missing?

Anyone have any ideas?

How can I install Google Maps on IOS 6?

Since I upgraded to IOS 6, Google Maps has been replaced by a poorer Apple version that doesn't support public transport. I want Google maps back. How can I install Google Maps on IOS 6 or downgrade to IOS 5?
Thanks.

Google Maps has not yet or does not look like they are creating a standalone app at this time.
It is not easy to downgrade, not recommended by Apple, very involved in order to do that. Again, not recommended.
Use MapQuest for now if you are unhappy with Apple Maps. I was never happy with Google Maps, so I have been using MapQuest for a long time for all directions.

Why can't I print out google maps on my hp photosmart premium c410?

I'm set up wireless and it works good except when I try to print out a map from google maps and sometimes from yahoo maps. Can someone help with this? I also have a hp 1350 all in one I have to usb plug in when printing from google maps. I'm running win7 64bit home premium.

What happens when you print from those map programs? Does it fail to print or is the size incorrect?
If it is a size/formatting issue, then this document may help:
