 * I have a complex polygon that I’m trying to display on my map; it consists of
   inner & outer boundaries in the kml code. Does WP Flexible Map support this, 
   or am I doing something wrong? The map displays, but not with the perimeter I
   expect.

 * G’day, the plugin doesn’t handle KML itself, it merely loads the files via the
   Google Maps API. See here for the limitations the API has with KML:

 * Strange – when I open the KML file in Google Earth, it displays correctly. If
   I upload the KML to a Fusion Table, it displays correctly.
 * It does not seem to display correctly within the WP Flexible Map KML. Perhaps
   I am doing something wrong.

 * OK, if you can get it working OK that way, maybe you can import it to Google 
   Maps and display from there. See this thread:

 * To simplify things, I uploaded another KML file that contained nothing more than
   a single placemark, and even that won’t display correctly. The label for the 
   icon is blank, even though it is labelled in the KML.
 * The plugin isn’t following the <lookat> parameters either, so the zoom level 
   is incorrect in the map.
 * Is the plugin not capable of displaying the name or label by default from a KML
   file?
 * Thanks for your help!

 * As per my first reply, it’s the Google Maps API that is restricting you. However,
   are you saying that you can load your map into a Fusion Table and everything 
   works OK? If so, maybe it’s time I added a way to load a map from a Fusion Table…

 * Hi there Iv remapped the world to follow a system that runs alongside a project
   I’m working on they’ve all been reworked what i need to know is.
    1. Can you 
   load kmls form a source ex: wp-content. 2. Does it display polygon layer 3. Do
   they keep elements as mine have tone change to roll over effect and custom balloons,
   link to File downloads 4. is there a toggle tab

 * G’day,
    1. KMLs can be anywhere they can be loaded over HTTP from the Internet (i.e. they
       can’t be on a private intranet server as Google’s servers need to see them)
    2. I think so, if I understand you; see [Raritan Headwaters Watershed Map](http://www.raritanheadwaters.org/explore/watershed-map/)
       for example
    3. Per the [FAQ](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-flexible-map/faq/), see
       [Google Maps support for KML](https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/mapsSupport)
       and [KML Elements Supported in Google Maps](https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/kmlelementsinmaps)
       for details on what is supported
    4. …? I don’t know what that means; can you explain further?
 * cheers,
    Ross
