Hi, try to add longitude and latitude for the map, there needs to be default values for the map, which then are overriden by the KML file.

You can upload the KML to the folder with another methods, like Phoca Commander, etc. directly in Joomla! - https://www.phoca.cz/phocacommander

This is a common problem. If some extension should really work, it cannot simulate other extension functions - like extension which should display maps, should not simulate extension for uploading and managing files on the server. Yes, it would be great to have everything in one extension, e.g. in Maps extension the function to upload and manage KML files but then such extension will be heavy, difficult, complicated and hard to manage correctly working of such extension.
