I'm working on exporting US counties into a kml file so that I can
use it on Google Maps (ver 2).<br>
<br>
Google Maps has a limit of 10mb for kml files.<br>
<br>
I get a shapefile from the US Census Bureau (100mb). I use the
"simplify geometries" feature to get it down to under 10mb. Then I
"save as" kml.<br>
<br>
Now I've got a kml that looks fine in Google Earth, QuantumGIS
(1.5), and ArcGis. However it doesn't display in Google Maps (I see
nothing and there are no errors). What is my problem?<br>
<br>
<br>
You can see my kml: <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow"
