Maps and latlong

Hello, someone knows how I can generate a link from a kml file of mymaps, to place in the url of kml in a column type coordinates and that you can see every change made in the map of mymaps automatically in appsheet

Please see my post:

Hi Fabian, I tried what you said above and my kml works well, but it does not show the lines and other features that my map has in my maps. It only shows the map without anything.

As you can see I can not find the ADVANCED option when I enter to share the file, however take the link that appears above and convert it with the link you sent.

Please try this: Right click on the kml and choose โ€œGet shareable linkโ€

In the URL just change the word โ€œopenโ€ to โ€œucโ€ and try using http:// instead of https://

This isnโ€™t working for me either.

Try and save the klm file to Google Firestore cloud storage which gives the public url to the file and use that URL. Firestore is basically free storage services.

Ok. Iโ€™m setting it up. Do you know what type of dataflow template I would use?

What do you mean?

You generate KML file on Google My Map. Then download that file to local.
Then save the same file to Google Firestore and get the link (URL)

Paste the URL to Appsheet. Thats all the step required.

thanks

After numerous trial and errors, I finally got this approach to work when I would export my Entire Google Map, selecting only โ€œExport as KMLโ€ฆโ€ ! image|458x202

Hi @Benjamin_Parmenter In fact you can also use KMZ files in AppSheet. For some cases itโ€™s even better, because KML would loose some informations.


You can use also the Network Link. With this you donโ€™t have to upload your KML file to Google Drive.
