Page Summary
-
This example demonstrates how to create and display a GeoRSS layer on a Google Map using the
KmlLayerobject. -
The
KmlLayeris initialized with a URL pointing to a GeoRSS feed, in this case, a Flickr feed. -
The example code includes HTML, CSS, and JavaScript snippets to create a map container, style it, and load the GeoRSS layer.
-
Users can experiment with the code directly in JSFiddle.
This example constructs a KmlLayer object from a given
GeoRSS feed.
Read the documentation.
function initMap() {
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 4,
center: {lat: 49.496675, lng: -102.65625}
});
var georssLayer = new google.maps.KmlLayer({
url: 'http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/geo/?g=322338@N20&lang=en-us&format=feed-georss'
});
georssLayer.setMap(map);
}<div id="map"></div>
/* Always set the map height explicitly to define the size of the div
* element that contains the map. */
#map {
height: 100%;
}
/* Optional: Makes the sample page fill the window. */
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
