This is for the Google Maps V3 developers....
Scenario - Need custom icons on KML point files. Using KML as opposed to manually parsing XML or JSON is more attractive given the better performance of returning tiles rather than adding heaps of placemarks to the HTML DOM. However with manual parsing I have more customisation control over icons. I realise we can inject unique icon references into our KML data source but that comes at the expense of file size and means the data source has to change if we want a icon style change, which does not seem that smart. Is there any future potential to add a KMLLayerOption for an icon, which would override any icon reference in the KML file. This would seem a smarter option for applying custom icons to KML point files, whilst leveraging the performance of KML over manual parsing. At the moment it seems you either have to trade off between performance and customisation, or write some very intricate code like Fastmarker, which we'd like to avoid. Thanks in advance.
