[Plugin: XML Google Maps] Get Directions

    I’m having problems displaying the get directions link within the balloon. I’m using the proper google api methods but the links fail to display.

    I was just curious, did you code the plugin to parse the complete .kml file or not? It will display the <description> tags, but it won’t display the <text> tags that the get directions api code relies on.

    Any help with this matter will be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Zack

    EDIT:

    I found a slight “hack” for this in order to get it to work. For those interested check out this site:

    No, this plugin doesn’t parse kml files to display elements on a map. It only parses kml files in some cases to find the best zoom level and view (look for coordinates to calculate these parameters). The display of kml element is in the responsibility of the Google Maps API GGeoXML Object that loads the KML file and makes an overlay to the map!
