Change KML defaults

G’day wilcochris,

Your best bet is to use the flexmap_shortcode_attrs filter hook. It lets you alter the shortcode arguments from your own code, e.g. in a custom plugin or your theme’s functions.php file. There’s a simple example of hooking this filter hook in the manual:

NB: I just edited the reply above, so please note the filter hook name: flexmap_shortcode_attrs

Thanks for that. I did have one more question.

When using the KML file, it appears that the info windows contain no text. When I load this in Google Maps or Google Earth, all the data is there.

Am I missing something?

Here is an example: https://blog.chriswilcox.me.uk/2015/10/13/tuesday-13th/ If you click on any of the icons or the path, it displays nothing.

Here it is in Google Maps https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zXALpNHbn0Gk.kNNZ24PVj4AY&usp=sharing

Your stylesheet is setting the text colour to white. Add some CSS to set the text colour for Google Maps infowindows, like this:

.gm-style .gm-style-iw {
    color: #444;
}
