How to: Track movement using the N95 & Google Maps/Earth | Simply Symbian
Mapping News by Mapperz: "Shapefile Overlay in Virtual Earth"
About KML - Google Earth User Guide: "You can learn more about using KML by reading the specification. Also, you can try a hands-on approach to learning KML by following the KML tutorial."
for the large kml files: Google Maps GeoXml Parsing - "This Google Maps Extension enables client-side parsing and viewing of a number of flavors of GeoXml, ncluding GML from WFS servers, GPX from GPS devices or log as well as KML and multiple flavors of GeoRSS,In addition to the XML it supports saving out and re-loading of KJSON (plans are in to split the KJSON parsing/loading and XML based parsing)" & Google Maps API - "The primary objective of the EGeoXml extension is to be able to take a "My Maps" KML file, change the file extension to .XML and render the markers, polylines and polygons under the API in a manner that exposes those objects, allowing them to be manipulated by the calling program."
Mapping News by Mapperz ( via Canadian Province Polygon Data - Google Maps API | Grups de Google)
Google Maps API | Google Groups: "if point within polygon" & "if polygon contains point" & Determine if a location is within a polygon - Google Maps API | Google Groups - START HERE & Google Maps API Tutorial - Testing if a polygon contains a point: "The code in the examples for this tutorial are affected by the change in map 'click' behaviour noted here. If you copied code from the examples before 16 March 2007, then you'll need to change the 'if (point)' statements to 'if (!overlay)'." & You can use one listener to get all information for poly clicks, instead of having to do individual poly click listeners... Here's an example of code that explicitly checks for everything:

GEvent.addListener(map, 'click', function(overlay, latlng) {
if (overlay) {
if (overlay instanceof GMarker) {
GLog.write("Clicked on a marker");
} else if (overlay instanceof GPolygon) {
GLog.write("Clicked on a polygon");
} else if (overlay instanceof GPolyline) {
GLog.write("Clicked on a polyline");
}
}
if (!overlay && latlng) {
GLog.write("Clicked somewhere on the map tiles.");
}};
