Support for Google Earth KML Network links

Welcome Nestorooglers!

As we’ve covered before, the pace of innovation in online geography is relentless! Yesterday we witnessed another step forward: our friends at Google now allow dynamic data updates via their maps API. This means it’s very simple to paste a dynamically updating map with property onto any web page.

Never ones to sit on the geodata sidelines, we’ve whipped up support for this in our Nestoria KML feed, as you can see below with this example of homes for sale in Canterbury (note: it will take a few seconds to load). Drag the map and watch properties ‘automagically’ appear.

Very cool, and very easy - the entire code is below, literally 3 lines.

Nice work Google! Keep the innovation coming.

For those of you looking for another alternative to KML you can of course check out our standard Dropin Maps.
