How to show KML file stored on google drive

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A

Hi everyone!

Can someone please guide me through the process of applying a KML to a Map View?

I have the KML file on my google Drive, I tried linking to the file via the table (like with images) with:
/App/file.kml
but that didnt work

I tried using the share link provided by google drive but didnt work either.

Also tried:
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=1n7ojAWASqKY5SbHcvKdw3jEvSaITfCa4&export=kml 17

i even tried using: http://kolorobot.github.io/permalink/ to get the export link but no results either.

The kml file size is 54kb.

Any ideas?

Hi @Nicolas_Feldman ist this working for you?

Hey guys, i want to share my findings in order to get the link for your KML. I have created my KML in Google My Maps, then i downloaded it to my computer. Check the URL in the download history of your web browser. Then you place this URL in the LatLong column field for Optional KML. I found it in this stackoverflow: @tcanelli @Jeff_Partain @Prasetyo_Mimboro

Hi @Fabian, I´m still struggling with this.
This didn´t work either.
For what i read on other posts the URL that hosts the file must end in “.kml”
The download URL for the kml file of Google Maps, does not have this…

Any other ideas?

Thanks!
