Hello, new to your plugin, so far it is amazing great work.

I have set up a map with 3 markers at first I though they were not showing but if you place the kml file url into google maps it shows them not over Ireland where they should be but off the coast of Africa :-)

I used the lat and long from google maps but it appears they are been reversed. So 53.2941570, -6.4720290 becomes in google maps -6.4720290, 53.2941570

which you can see if you submit http://slaine.ie.gridhosted.co.uk/dev/kml_sample1.kml into google maps but in the kml file it is listed as follows:

<Point>
<coordinates>53.2941570, -6.4720290, 0</coordinates>
</Point>

Would have idea what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks for any help you can give

Hi,

You're not doing anything wrong. It's just that google maps and KML specify the location different.

For google maps, it specifies the latitude first followed by longitude.

For KML, if you take a look at the KML Reference - Point, each point is specified as longitude, latitude, and optional altitude.

So the two are reversed.

p.s. There's also a pretty good KML tutorial here: KML Tutorial

Hey thank you for the fast reply, All sorted now and thanks for the link very helpful..
