creating a custom layer for KML file to be viewed

Question

I will need to push about 200 KML google maps to 200 people.

The maps have each around 200-300 placemarks.

Every placemark is either, an account, potential account, or past account.

I am classifying each type of placemark with a different color pin.

I would like to know how the user can see only one type of pins at a time. I know we can do this by using FOLDERS , but i think a better way would be to use LAYERS.

The reason I think layers are better is because on mobile devices they are much easier to work with.

Can you point me to a simple example illustrating how to use multiple layers on the same KML file that can be viewed in google maps?

Answer 1

Probably the simplest way to do this is to use FusionTablesLayers. You can import your KML files, then dynamically query for the data to display and dynamically style the information.

• FusionTableLayers
• Dynamic Styling of FusionTableLayers

You can import KML into Fusion Tables, then look at the FusionTablesLayer Wizard and/or the FusionTablesLayer Builder
