Using MKMapView with kml files

Question

Just wondering whats the best way to approach this ?

I've looked around for source code to gain an understanding of how this is done. But there is very little out there

Any advice.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Cant use kml files directly with MKMapView:

Use NSXMLParser , and parser (probably title, latitude, longitude).

Answer 2

Just for info, the default "maps" application supports (basic) display of kml files if you give URL to a kml file on the web. You can open it from your application using openURL for UIApplication and give the URL to the KML file as parameter.
