We have a hosted web app that uses the Google Maps API for various types of geographical reports, using a combination of the javascript API for adding markers and shapes, plus KML overlays for other layers. There's some demand from customers for turning these into nice downloadable & printable PDF maps. I'm not sure where to begin with that. Any ideas? As Mark Storer pointed out, you can use wkhtmltopdf . If you have polylines or other stuff in your map you will likely need wkhtmltopdf to wait for all the pieces to be in place before generating the PDF. This can be done with the latest version

I am trying to use my custom styling created through Google Maps API v3 with an existant map I created through the My Places tool online, without downloading the KML data. Here is a link to my map with the KML data: https://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?msid=214652605574280498452.0004d3cc7c556a8346d32&msa=0 I saw a previous question which addressed this issue: Query existing, public Google Map via the Google Maps API v3 However, rather than downloading the KML data, is there a way to use my map directly? I need to later make changes to the place markers without having to download the KML each time

I'm using KML to overlay shapes on a Google map. Information corresponding to each shape is included in the <description> element, along with a link to a detail page corresponding to that shape. So for example, my KML includes this: <description> <![CDATA[ <div> ... <p> <a href="Concession.20.aspx">View details</a> </p>   </div> ]]> Of course, I would like for that link to open in the same window, since it's just navigating to another page on this same site. Unfortunately, as documented here , links embedded in the <description> element of a KML file are rewritten with target='_blank' .

I'm using the pyKML module for extracting coordinates from a given KML file. My Python code is as follows: from pykml import parser fileobject = parser.fromstring(open('MapSource.kml', 'r').read()) root = parser.parse(fileobject).getroot() print(xml.Document.Placemark.Point.coordinates) However, on running this, I get the following error: ValueError: Unicode strings with encoding declaration are not supported. Please use bytes input or XML fragments without declaration. Looking for solutions, I came across this solution http://twigstechtips.blogspot.in/2013/06/python-lxml-strings-with-encoding

Anyone knows a simple JavaScript library implementing the UNZIP algorithm? No disk-file access, only zip and unzip a string of values. There are ActiveX, using WinZIP and other client dependent software for ZIP, written in JS. But no pure JavaScript algorithm implementation. I would use it for displaying KMZ files in a HTML page with the GMap object (google maps). The KMZ file is just a zipped KML

Attaching listener to KML layer: var layer = new google.maps.KmlLayer('http://sites.google.com/site/kmlprototypes/kmls/temp.kml?dc_=' + Math.random(), {suppressInfoWindows:true,preserveViewport:true}); layer.setMap(map); google.maps.event.addListener(layer, 'click', function (obj) { alert(obj.featureData.id); }); KML file is valid (checked by validation api), you may find it here . Each placemark in XML has id attribute like: <Placemark id="46"> <Style> <IconStyle> <Icon> <href> <![CDATA[http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chf=bg,s,EAF7FE02&chxt=y&chbh=a,4,4&chs=48x48&cht=bvg&chco=FF0000,0000FF
