Millions of people around the world can now use their mobile phone to access the KML files that developers have created. The map on the left is an example of using markers in KML to represent information (in this case, the location of crop circles across the UK).

Here's how people can now get your KML files on their phone: Just like Google Maps for the desktop, Maps for mobile requires that the KML file people want (and you've created) first be hosted on a website. Once you have a web-based URL for the file they want, people can simply enter it into their phone, just as they would enter a regular business search. (You may want to use your favorite URL-abbreviating site to create a shorter URL.)

Google Maps for mobile currently supports a subset of KML. More complex KML files may not display on Google Maps. See how it works.

We encourage developers to highlight their favorite spots, but remind them to keep them simple for best mobile results.

Congratulations to all you quick-on-the-draw developers! When we invited you to use our Google Earth and SketchUp design modules to create fan-friendly interpretations of intergalactic visits to our own planet, you responded with some pretty imaginative uses of space and time (check back again; we'll be updating this gallery with new submissions every day).
