Adding KMLs to my Maps
• 1) put the KML on a website server. Double check by putting the address in your browser - it works if browing to the address brings up google earth or download the file. IE www.website.org/test.kml
• In My Maps, enter the web address of the kml in the search box in my maps. This should pull up the KML file on the mymaps.
