One of them seems to revolve around the exact nature of the KML file being used. It's early days, but I think I'm coming to the conclusion that any KML that has been created by my (latest) version of Google Earth won't work with Google Maps. I've been testing KML files outside of what we've set up for the website, by trying to import them directly into the Google Maps website, and files I've exported directly from Garmin Connect work fine, as do simple test kml files, indeed your very own London example "track.kml". So can I just ask - do you have any tips as to what KML can be used with Google Maps, and so with this technique?? If I do get a good handle on what works here, it'll be *exactly* what I'm looking for - one line of code to change to embed a new map - excellent ...
