GoogleMaps -- Add placemark by Longitude/Latitude?

askfritz · 09-17-2007, 12:53 PM

I'm trying to create a google map of a bunch of wineries in Sonoma county and I'd like to be able to make a map and place my placemarks by Longitude & Latitude. As of now, I only know how to place a placemark by just looking at the map with my eyes. If someone were to google map directions from my placemark, I'm not certain if it would be correct.

I've done some research and I know how to add placemarks within a XML style file called *.KML and I can also specify longitude & latitude for those placemarks. With this route, I just do not understand how to then embed that KML file within my website to display the map and its' placemark locations.

Any help would be wonderful. Either within maps.google.com itself, or through the KML file.

Thanks!

Actually I admire you that you do some research about this placemark but with related to your problem, it's sad to say that I have also no idea on how to add KML.

I know there's gotta be a way to do this.
