在Google Map上使用KML叠加层进行用户输入搜索

Question

I've created "zones" laid out in a KML file that effectively overlays on the Google Map within my page. What I am looking to do is provide the ability for users to search by inputting their address in an html form and having the code recognize that their address is either in "zone a", "b", etc. or not in one at all by creating a placemarker at the location the searched for and including the appropriate information in the description.

I've tried using javascript to transform their search query to lat and long and using the geocoder function, create a placemarker that way, but have been unsuccessful. I thought maybe there was a problem because the KML layer would have already been loaded possible requiring a refresh of the data...? So I tried using php to POST to the same page causing essentially a refresh of it with their query included and having the geocoder create a placemarker at user's lat and long THEN load the KML layer.

After too long of spinning wheels, it seems I need to consider an option other than KML, but I'm not sure how I would implement fusion tables or throw the KML information into a mysql database.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Sounds like this example (uses the geoxml3 third party KML parser ).

Version (same functionality) using FusionTables
