All,

I would like a simple way to mashup a kml file with the gm:map and add a sidebar. I can very easily get the kml file to mashup with the gm:map using javascript and the Map API, but I'm not sure on how to generate the sidebar.

Ideally, the sidebar would function just like the google MyMaps feature, where you click a title and the map responds by opening the details of that portion of the kml.

See, the maps mashup sample does this exact thing, but with a geo-rss. I don't know how to convert my kml into an rss feed. I even tried to do this with Yahoo Pipes, but I'm afraid I don't know enough about any of these services to get to the next step.

Anyone willing to help me?
