[MANUAL] Convert an existing KML/KMZ for offline use

[hossini]

Hi, it works on google earth, but cannot load in google maps.
 It's a big file, about 15000 POI (all german Speedcams).

The File is like this:

Even if i cut ~14999 POI's and just leave one left in the file, it doesnt show the ICON in Locus given by the URL...

I'm testing your file and problem is caused by

Code Select Expand

<styleUrl>root://styles#default</styleUrl> .. what's that?? Is this line valid? delete this line and import will work fine.

Hi,  THATS IT, now it works perfectly. Thanks very much.

[Menion]

you're welcome. StyleUrl, defined here http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documen ... l#styleurl is weird in your case. Anyway Locus do not support external styleUrl paths, so even when path to file with styles will be valid, this will not work. So if you want to use some custom styles, put them into same file as data

Exactly. I just see I missed to mention that in my mini-tutorial. Just take one of my small KMZ files from the shared area of this forum to look at how to define them internally.
