My Maps images in balloon

Have just noticed the KMZ export direct from My Maps, now adds the image to the description with <img> tags, making this script pretty much redundant :) Success!

This script will create a KML file based on a My Map that has the image embeded in the popup infowindow.

• Map needs to be publically accessible (either fully public or just 'anyone with the link')
• This tool only works on the KML. So the download will be missing any custom icons
  • As a workaround, use this tool. Then download the KMZ direct from My Maps. And replace the KML inside the KMZ with the new one.
• Just inserts the html snippet provided. If multiple images in one Placemark, adds it multiple times. No slideshow (with next/prev) like online My Maps
• Note that reimporting the output KML back into My Maps will probbably end up duplicating each image

Map URL:
(Copy from address bar when viewing your map - should include mid=...)

Template: <div style="background-color:black;text-align:center;padding:5px;"><img src="{url}" style="max-width:300px;"></div><br>
(html used to insert the image - best leave unchanged if dont know what this means)

This is only a stopgap solution until (HOPEFULLY!) added by Google
