How to display Description from KML file.

Post by ptrouw »

Hi,
Using J4 and Phocamap 4.0.2. In my KML file, I am using <description> but the map doesn't display the description. I have checked the KML file with an online KML viewer, and the file structure is good.
Any ideas?
Or is it perhaps not implemented yet?
Cheers Paul

Hi, do you use Google Maps or OSM? If the map does not display the description tag, then yes, unfortunately, it is not supported by the map :-(

Thank you. Yes, I am using Google but I have tried Open Street as well. Showing the map and markers is no problem but I lost additional information from the kml file, like a link to an image or a description of the marker.
