在网络应用中使用Googlemaps js导入本地（磁盘上）KML文件

Question

I am developing a web application with a Google maps JS. The GoogleMaps API allows you to import kml files from a server.

var kmlLayer = new google.maps.KmlLayer({
    url: url_kml_finale,
    map: map
});
google.maps.event.addListener(kmlLayer, 'status_changed', function() {...}...

I would like to import a KML file from my hard drive. Is that possible? I did not find a function in the API to parse a kml file.

Thanks in advance.

This is not possible. google.maps.KmlLayer elements are rendered server-side on Google's infrastructure so they need to be accessible to the internet.

One workaround - you could try to load KML just like a regular XML file and locally parse it and draw the markers, polylines, and polygons yourself. Depending on the complexity of your KML file, this could be a bit of work.

If you can convert the data to GeoJSON (maybe using something like togeojson ) you could use google.maps.Data to add it to your map.
