Ground Overlay in Google map? - google-maps

Question

I'd like upload the KML file which including the PNG file on the Google Map.
The process was done normally. But I could not see the PNG data on the Google map.
Related files are as follows;
1) KML source file with text format;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2">
<GroundOverlay><name>ER001_Polda Balicpapan.png</name><color>88ffffff</color><Icon>
<href>ER001_Polda Balicpapan.png</href>
<viewBoundScale>0.75</viewBoundScale></Icon><LatLonBox>
<north>-.690568</north>
<south>-1.770432</south>
<east> 117.8462</east>
<west> 115.925</west>
</LatLonBox></GroundOverlay></kml>`
2) Message on the Google map
It can not display a row of data(ER001.PNG)
Please let me know that how can I display this Ground Overlay on the Google Map?

Answer 1

See the example in the documentation
Put the image somewhere publicly available and use the fully qualified URL.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2">

</kml>
another option would be to create a KMZ file that includes the image in the correct relative path.
