Loading a local .kml file using google maps?

Question

I created a hello world program to load a local kml file (borrowed from google\'s docs):

var ctaLayer = new google.maps.KmlLayer(\"http://localhost:8080/kml/         


        

Answer 1

The KML can't be accessed since it's on your local machine and google can't access that since it doesn't know how to get to localhost:8080
