Adding Google Maps "My Maps" feature to own website? - import .kml files

Question

Hello there,

I am looking to add the Google Map API to my own website, but I would like to also include the "My Maps" feature which allows a user to import a .gpx, or .kml file and display the data on the map.

Obviously it is possible to add just a standard interactive Google Map to a website but is the import fuction possible?

Thanks

GGeoXml will let you easily add a KML or GeoRSS file to your map (assuming that file is publicly accessible at some URL)
