Thanks a lot! After few hours kml layer is in right place :). But I have a 
problem with overview map and coordinates which I see after click on 'GPS' 
and than after click somewhere in the map. Because now, there are 
coordinates of EPSG:900913 and that are horrible numbers. And overview map 
don't show, what it should. But it should be in another topic I think.

Yes, I know, that kml file is too big, but I don't know, how I can make it 
lighter. I need to add some more kml files and one GeoTiff, I think, so it 
will be really bad, will not? Do you have some ideas, how I could do it 
better? But maybe it is another topic too.

But really thank you for help with adding kml file to my map ;)
