You know those days: the ones where the sun is shining and it's the perfect temperature for some laid-back outdoor lounging. What better time to head down to the beach with your friends or soak in some rays by the swimming pool? But first, you need a swimsuit—and at JCPenney, we have that perfect bathing suit to fit your unique figure and your budget.
From petite to plus size to maternity sizes, you'll find a fit you love in a style you're comfortable with. What's your preference—one piece or two piece? Women's one piece bathing suits are more versatile and appealing than ever, from the vintage look of strapped styles to the flexibility of a ruffled skirt swimdress. For two piece lovers, choose from bikini top styles like bandeau, halter and tankini—then pair it with hipster bottoms, Brazilian bottoms or boy shorts.
No swimsuit is complete without its top layer: a bathing suit cover up for your way to and from your destination. Choose from summery styles that can travel anywhere you do—from the more transparent look of crochet to the thicker fabric of an opaque hoodie or maxi dress. Swimsuit cover ups can be approached in a number of ways; you won't have any trouble choosing your favorite style to fit your unique taste.
Squeeze every drop of sunshine out of spring and summer! From cute to trendy to sexy, you'll look and feel amazing with the season's hottest swimsuit styles for women of any figure.
But don't take our word for it! See what customers are saying about our swimwear:
This is a beautiful suit!
May 20, 2014 • Review by 20plusyears
I bought this suit because I am always looking for something with more support up top. This has it!! It fits true to size. It is very well made. Has the support I need and want while still being a very attractive suit.

Since it made its first appearance on the screen in 1981, no other hat has retained the type of popularity than that of the Indiana Jones fedora. Worn by Harrison Ford in the original Indian Jones movie, the hat was designed specifically for the character that won the hearts of many who cheered the adventurer through his many trials and tribulations. Nothing comes close to the official Indiana Jones hat for style and quality. At Hat Country, we have styles for children and men with some variations. Choose from wool felt or fur in black and brown or in brown only or in khaki. Some of the styles are also water repellent and/or crushable for wearing even in bad weather and under harsh circumstances.
An Indiana Jones fedora is not only a fun and practical addition to his wardrobe, it is also a super gift that will let him know how much you appreciate his sense of adventure. Don't settle for anything less than the authentic and original licensed Indiana Jones hat. The Indiana Jones Collection is a division of Dorfman Pacific Hats.

Public Abstract:
Alzheimer's disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia, results in profound loss of memory and cognitive function, and ultimately death. In the US, someone develops AD every 69 seconds and there are over 5 million individuals suffering from AD, including approximately 600,000 Californians. Current treatments do not alter the disease course. The absence of effective therapies coupled with the sheer number of affected patients renders AD a medical disorder of unprecedented need and a public health concern of significant magnitude. In 2010, the global economic impact of dementias was estimated at $604 billion, a figure far beyond the costs of cancer or heart disease. These numbers do not reflect the devastating social and emotional tolls that AD inflicts upon patients and their families. Efforts to discover novel and effective treatments for AD are ongoing, but unfortunately, the number of active clinical studies is low and many traditional approaches have failed in clinical testing. An urgent need to develop novel and innovative approaches to treat AD is clear.
We propose to evaluate the use of human neural stem cells as a potential innovative therapy for AD. AD results in neuronal death and loss of connections between surviving neurons. The hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for learning and memory, is particularly affected in AD, and is thought to underlie the memory problems AD patients encounter. Evidence from animal studies shows that transplanting human neural stem cells into the hippocampus improves memory, possibly by providing growth factors that protect neurons from degeneration. Translating this approach to humans could markedly restore memory and thus, quality of life for patients.
The Disease Team has successfully initiated three clinical trials involving transplantation of human neural stem cells for neurological disorders. These trials have established that the cells proposed for this therapeutic approach are safe for transplantation into humans. The researchers in this Disease Team have shown that AD mice show a dramatic improvement in memory skills following both murine and human stem cell transplantation. With proof-of-concept established in these studies, the Disease Team intends to conduct the animal studies necessary to seek authorization by the FDA to start testing this therapeutic approach in human patients.
This project will be conducted as a partnership between a biotechnology company with unique experience in clinical trials involving neural stem cell transplantation and a leading California-based academic laboratory specializing in AD research. The Disease Team also includes expert clinicians and scientists throughout California that will help guide the research project to clinical trials. The combination of all these resources will accelerate the research, and lead to a successful FDA submission to permit human testing of a novel approach for the treatment of AD; one that could enhance memory and save lives.
Statement of Benefit to California:
The number of AD patients in the US has surpassed 5.4 million, and the incidence may triple by 2050. Roughly 1 out of every 10 patients with AD, over 550,000, is a California resident, and alarmingly, because of the large number of baby-boomers that reside in this state, the incidence is expected to more than double by 2025. Besides the personal impact of the diagnosis on the patient, the rising incidence of disease, both in the US and California, imperils the federal and state economy.
The dementia induced by AD disconnects patients from their loved ones and communities by eroding memory and cognitive function. Patients gradually lose their ability to drive, work, cook, and carry out simple, everyday tasks, ultimately losing all independence. The quality of life for AD patients is hugely diminished and the burden on their families and caregivers is extremely costly to the state of California. Annual health care costs are estimated to exceed $172 billion, not including the additional costs resulting from the loss of income and physical and emotional stress experienced by caregivers of Alzheimer's patients. Given that California is the most populous state and the state with the highest number of baby-boomers, AD's impact on California families and state finances is proportionally high and will only increase as the AD prevalence rises.
Currently, there is no cure for AD and no means of prevention. Most approved therapies address only symptomatic aspects of AD and no disease-modifying approaches are currently available. By enacting Proposition 71, California voters acknowledged and supported the need to investigate the potential of novel stem cell-based therapies to treat diseases with a significant unmet medical need such as AD.
In a disease like AD, any therapy that exerts even a modest impact on the patient's ability to carry out daily activities will have an exponential positive effect not only for the patients but also for their families, caregivers, and the entire health care system. We propose to evaluate the hypothesis that neural stem cell transplantation will delay the progression of AD by slowing or stabilizing loss of memory and related cognitive skills. A single, one-time intervention may be sufficient to delay progression of neuronal degeneration and preserve functional levels of memory and cognition; an approach that offers considerable cost-efficiency.
The potential economic impact of this type of therapeutic research in California could be significant, and well worth the investment of this disease team proposal. Such an approach would not only reduce the high cost of care and improve the quality of life for patients, it would also make California an international leader in a pioneering approach to AD, yielding significant downstream economic benefits for the state.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My mother died of ovarian cancer so as a precaution my gynecologist placed me on birth control pills. I am 48 and have not gone through menopause. With all the news about estrogen being a link to breast and ovarian cancer is it really a good preventive measure to be on a low dose birth control pill?
Christina S. Chu, MD, Assistant Professor of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
Actually, taking the birth control pill may lower your risk for ovarian cancer. Women with a history of hereditary ovarian cancer due to mutations in the BRCA1 and 2 genes have a reduction in risk of developing ovarian cancer if they use oral contraceptives for long periods of time. Other studies have also detected a decreased risk for ovarian cancer in women with a family history of disease when the oral contraceptives were taken for 10 years.
The data for breast cancer is mixed. In several large studies, there has been no demonstrated increased risk for breast cancer among patients using oral contraceptives. There may be a small increased risk for patients less than age 35 who have used oral contraceptives for long periods of time, and for patients who used them at a very young age.
If you are concerned about your risk of ovarian cancer based on your family history, I would recommend you seek out a cancer risk assessment program in your community so as to better define your risks of developing breast or ovarian cancer and to consider genetic testing. Another option is to consider prophylactic removal of your ovaries, especially if future childbearing is not a concern. While prophylactic removal of the ovaries does not eliminate the chance of developing ovarian cancer (or primary peritoneal cancer which is very similar to ovarian cancer), it may decrease the chances substantially in patients at high risk.
Oct 23, 2013 - Among women who are BRCA1/2 mutation carriers, the associations between ever use of oral contraceptives and ovarian and breast cancers are similar to those observed in the general population, according to research published online Oct. 21 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

ESCAP supports governments in Asia-Pacific in implementing measures to efficiently involve the private sector in infrastructure development. Developing case studies is part of this effort and promotes exchange of experience among the countries of the region.
Case 1: Traffic Demand Risk / The case of Bangkok's Skytrain (BTS) This case study investigates the issue of traffic demand risk and sheds light on how the problem of inaccurate ridership forecasts can impact a PPP project by using the example of the Bangkok SkyTrain.
Countries that implement trade facilitation reforms and enhance trade efficiency and connectivity are generally expected to attract more foreign direct investments. This paper is a first attempt to quantify the potential impact of trade facilitation on FDI flows. Using a unique bilateral dataset on FDI flows covering both OECD and developing economies in Asia and the Pacific, we estimate gravity models of FDI featuring relevant trade costs and trade facilitation indicators.
Structural transformation, economic diversification and logistics are some of the issues explored in this new book from the Asia-Pacific Research and Training Network on Trade (ARTNeT). The volume's essays use various methodologies to provide new perspectives on the region's growth and prospects. Individual chapter's focus on: trade policy in Nepal; logistics in Bangladesh and Thailand; Sri Lankan exports; and SMEs in Cambodia.
The book contains the following chapters: I. Structural transformation and trade policy: Case of Nepal by Paras Karel
Connectivity is a cornerstone of regional economic cooperation and integration – and has become a major priority for the countries of Asia and the Pacific, especially in the context of efforts to find new drivers of regional economic growth, and to create additional domestic and aggregate regional demand.
The Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific is the oldest and most comprehensive annual review of economic and social development in Asia and the Pacific. This flagship publication of ESCAP outlines policies to sustain dynamic growth and to make it inclusive such as unlocking fiscal space to finance higher productive government spending and enhancing regional connectivity through stronger institutional coordination across the region.
On the occasion of the 70th ESCAP Commission Session, ESCAP launched the publication, entitled "Asia and the Pacific: A story of Transformation and Resurgence". It provides an analytical narrative of the transformation of the region, one infested with pervasive hunger and deprivation to the Asian miracle that lifted billions of human beings out of extreme poverty. It tells how the region from a periphery became the centre of gravity for the world economy.
This report has been produced as part of the Pacific Climate Change and Migration (PCCM) Project entitled, 'Enhancing the Capacity of Pacific Island Countries to Manage the Impacts of Climate Change on Migration'. The PCCM Project is a three year project (2013-2016) funded by the European Union and implemented by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
The vision of the project is to:
The Asia-Pacific Statistics Newsletter,Second Quarter 2014, provides information on the Network for the Coordination of Statistical Training in Asia and the Pacific; features an interview with Mr Chris Ryan, new Regional Advisor on Statistics, Statistics Division, ESCAP; announces important events and meeting; and provides update on the areas of work.
The Trade Facilitation Agreement adopted by the WTO member countries at the Bali Ministerial Conference in December 2013 highlights the importance of trade facilitation for international trade and the global economy. This paper provides a unique set of data on the progress made by 29 countries in Asia and the Pacific in implementing various trade facilitation and paperless trade measures in 2013/14, as well as estimates of the benefits from moving forward with implementation.

An issue on the UN agenda since 2005
The issue of system-wide coherence was brought to the fore during the World Summit of 2005. A section of the final document (article 169) adopted by heads of State and government was devoted to system-wide coherence, and dealt with development, humanitarian aid and environment. The General Assembly called on the Secretary-General to reinforce management and coordination of operational activities of the UN system so that they could contribute effectively to the objectives set out at the international level in these three fields.
Following the World Summit, then Secretary-General Kofi Annan announced, in February 2006, the creation of a high-level panel of experts whose mission was to explore how the United Nations system could work more coherently and effectively across the world in the areas of development, humanitarian assistance and the environment. This study was intended to lay the groundwork for a fundamental restructuring of the United Nations operational work.
The "Delivering as One" report was issued in November 2006; the United Nations then launched the program of the same name to examine how the Organization could apply a more coordinated approach to finding solutions to development. Eight pilot countries (Albania, Cape Verde, Mozambique, Pakistan, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uruguay and Vietnam) offered to cooperate with the United Nations in this experiment aimed at adopting the One UN Program, in support of national development strategies. These experiments are subject to an evaluation process.
Resolution 62/277 (2008) was the first General Assembly decision on system-wide coherence since the high-level panel issued its proposals on development issues. Reflection at the headquarters is based on experience on the ground and is aimed at determining the best way to streamline the UN system in order to achieve improved performance for Member States.
Governance, funding, UN Women
The reflection then focused on three areas: governance of United Nations operational activities (undertaken by the funds and programs), funding of operational activities, as well as institutional arrangements, with the proposed creation of an entity for gender equality and the empowerment of women.
The 63rd session of the General Assembly enabled progress to be made on various key issues aimed at improving UN system performance in order to foster development. Thus, on 14 September 2009, the United Nations General Assembly adopted, by consensus, a new resolution (63/311) on UN system-wide coherence. This resolution supports the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women and proposes the creation of a "composite entity" which would bring together all of the various institutions that focus on women's issues within the United Nations system. It also calls for improved governance of the United Nations operational activities for development. The Secretary-General is expected to consider a system-wide evaluation system to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of the system (more transparency, less redundancy). With regard to funding, the General Assembly is asking the donor countries to increase their voluntary contributions to the regular budget of the United Nations Development Organizations, in particular the funds, programs and specialized institutions.
In order to implement this resolution, new discussions were launched to examine the elements identified as most important: governance, funding, evaluation, and outline of the future type of entity. Exchanges of information were also organized on the work undertaken within the Chief Executives Board, in particular regarding the harmonization of management practices, within the framework of the existing mandates. Technical discussions were launched within the working and focus groups of the Member States enabling the facilitators (Permanent Representatives of Tunisia and Estonia) to present a draft resolution.
A new resolution A/64/289 was adopted on 2 July 2010 by the General Assembly, which contains the following achievements:
— Creation of "UN Women". The resolution creates a new United Nations entity, responsible for promoting gender equality and empower women, by merging four entities, under the direction of a Secretary General / Executive Director. On 14 September 2010, Ms Michelle Bachelet, Chile's former president, was appointed to head UN Women. She will have broad powers to better take into account issues of male-female equality in UN structures and programs. (Learn more on Protection of women)
— Funding: The resolution acknowledges for the first time the importance of "critical mass" of resources (level of resources sufficient to meet the needs of developing countries), and invites the governing bodies of funds and programs and specialized agencies to undertake a study on the issue.
— "Delivering as One": The resolution welcomes the progress made by the eight pilot countries (Albania, Cape Verde, Mozambique, Pakistan, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uruguay and Vietnam) and encourages the Secretary-General to continue this process.
— Governance: the resolution encourages better administrative coordination and a more efficient organization of work between the different UN bodies working for development. It also insists on greater participation of developing States (Least Developed Countries in particular).

"Rolling Stone," 1996; "GQ," 2009 In March of 1996, Jennifer Aniston was the friend that everyone wanted to get know better -- when she jumped in bed with "Rolling Stone," the actress showed viewers a side of her that hadn't been captured by the TV cameras. (Her backside, to be specific!) Thirteen years (and one public divorce) later, a 40-year-old Aniston got even more comfortable for the cameras when she graced the January 2009 cover of "GQ" wearing nothing but a patriotic necktie and a sexy smile. That's one way to say 40 and fabulous! (CREDIT: Courtesy Rolling Stone/Courtesy GQ) The Full Story from iVillage.com | ||||
"Rolling Stone," 1993 Long before her Super Bowl "wardrobe malfunction," Janet Jackson ("Miss Jackson if you're nasty") had a very hands-on experience with "Rolling Stone" in September 1993. The daring diva had just made her film debut in "Poetic Justice," and the much-talked-about topless shot (which was actually the un-cropped version of the photo that appeared on her album "Janet") further established her sex-symbol status. Jackson was later asked on "The Graham Norton Show" whether the mysterious man behind her warmed up his hands before the shoot, and she replied, "I hope he washed them." We do, too! (CREDIT: Courtesy Rolling Stone) The Full Story from iVillage.com | ||||
"Vanity Fair," 1991 In the Annie Leibovitz photo that launched a thousand imitations, a 28-year-old Demi Moore appeared naked and pregnant on "Vanity Fair's" iconic August cover. As it was the first of its kind, Moore's blatant display of nudity made the public blush and sent the media into a frenzy. "Annie had photographed me pregnant with all three (daughters)," the actress later told "V Magazine." "The shot that ended up being on the cover of "Vanity Fair" wasn't even done for the magazine. It was just for me and our family." Some called it art, some called it objectification, but one thing's for sure: Demi definitely set the precedent for hot Hollywood mamas!

"Rolling Stone," 2002 Just when we thought we'd already seen her get "dirrty" in a bikini top and leather chaps, Christina Aguilera stepped it up by stripping down for "Rolling Stone." Sporting black hair extensions and a studded wrist cuff, the singer proved that she was officially done with her former good-girl image. These days, as a mother and coach on "The Voice," Aguilera still likes to show a little skin -- but she tends to cover up with more than just a guitar. (CREDIT: Courtesy of Rolling Stone) The Full Story from iVillage.com | ||||
"New York," 2008; "Playboy," 2012 2002 After a few revealing paparazzi shots surfaced, there wasn't much of Lindsay Lohan the public hadn't seen by 2008. But the starlet did nudity on her own terms for "New York" magazine's "Spring Fashion" issue, when she covered up with only a sheer scarf in homage to Marilyn Monroe's final photo shoot. Four years (and several court appearances) later, LiLo attempted to launch a comeback by undressing for another Monroe-inspired nude shoot. This time she posed for "Playboy," and according to a tweet from Hugh Hefner, her issue broke sales records for the magazine.

"Rolling Stone," 2010 "To me, vampires are sex," "True Blood" creator Alan Ball told "Rolling Stone" in 2010. "I don't get a vampire story about abstinence." And he's stayed true to his word by treating viewers to tons of steamy sex scenes on HBO's salacious vampire saga. But even so, we never thought we'd see the day when Eric (Alexander Skarsgard), Sookie (Anna Paquin) and Bill (Stephen Moyer) would appear in such a bloody, beautiful embrace! Their undead three-way on the September 2, 2010, cover of "Rolling Stone" further solidified the sexiness of the supernatural.

"Gear," 2000 What would Reverend Camden think? In 2000, 17-year-old Jessica Biel was best-known for her role as Mary Camden on the squeaky-clean series "7th Heaven." She shed both her clothes and her innocent-tomboy image in March of that year, donning only hotpants for "Gear", who proclaimed her a "fallen angel." The risque shoot enraged the show's producers, and Biel lived to regret it. "I wasn't happy with those pictures," the actress (who's now engaged to Justin Timberlake) told "Entertainment Weekly" later. "I saw pictures that were different from the ones that ran in the magazine. I was shocked and my family was heartbroken." (CREDIT: Courtesy of Gear Magazine) The Full Story from iVillage.com | ||||
"Entertainment Weekly," 2010 If there's one way to sell magazines (and movie tickets!) it's by featuring Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal naked together! Two days after the release of "Love and Other Drugs," the cozy costars appeared on one of "Entertainment Weekly's" sexiest covers. "There's an inherent discomfort in the moment where you have to take your clothes off in front of someone," Hathaway told iVillage about filming their steamy movie. "I mean, it's mortifying, when it's not organic and private." It may be uncomfortable, but we'd trade places with her any day!

"Billboard," 2010 Poison frontman Bret Michaels told E! Online that he "didn't eat for a day and did 2,000 sit-ups" to prepare for his naked "Billboard" cover in October 2010. Sporting only his signature bandana, Michaels appeared to be in prime condition -- though he was just months away from undergoing major heart surgery. While some accused "Billboard" of Photoshopping Michaels' chiseled abs, the shoot's photographer insisted the rocker's muscles were all natural: "It's always easy for someone to cry 'Photoshop'...but he takes his shape seriously." (CREDIT: Courtesy of Billboard Magazine) The Full Story from iVillage.com | ||||
"Esquire," 2007 After bagging Brad Pitt, adopting three tots and giving birth to daughter Shiloh, Angelina Jolie got between the silk sheets with "Esquire" in July 2007. With her sultry shoot, the bad-girl-turned-humanitarian-mom proved that despite settling down, she was still no Mother Teresa. "I've always been perceived as kind of wild or bad or weird or crazy," Jolie told the magazine. "If you knew me privately, you might think I was even wilder than my reputation." A year later Jolie was pregnant with twins, but she's managed to keep her edgy side (and her killer figure!) intact ever since. (CREDIT: Courtesy of Esquire) The Full Story from iVillage.com | ||||
"W," 1999 "Move over, Demi" proclaimed the April 1999 cover of "W." Cindy Crawford (who was seven-months pregnant with her first child with husband Rande Gerber) went completely bare -- including jewelry! -- for her shoot, striking a pose like only a supermodel could. But while most people thought she looked like one hot mama, Crawford wasn't feeling so sexy. "It's a miracle, yes," she said of her pregnancy. "But what can I say? I liked the way I looked in "Playboy" last year." (CREDIT: Courtesy of W Magazine) The Full Story from iVillage.com | ||||
"Maxim," 2007 In 2007, Eva Mendes was widely known as the "token hot girl" with supporting roles in "A Night at the Roxbury," "Ghost Rider" and "Hitch." And the voluptuous actress, rocking only knee-high boots, played up her hotness for her steamy "Maxim" cover shoot. But in the accompanying interview Mendes (who's currently the lucky lady dating Ryan Gosling) insisted she had a softer side. "In real life I'm not tough," she said. "I'm more of a cuddle bug than a tough sex goddess. I may look like a bad girl, but I'm just built that way. I'm actually a good girl." (CREDIT: Courtesy of Maxim) The Full Story from iVillage.com | ||||
"ESPN," 2009 Serena Williams once confessed to struggling with her weight and body image, but she showed no signs of insecurity on "ESPN's" first-ever "Body Issue" in 2009. With a megawatt smile and bulging biceps, the totally ripped tennis ace was one of six athletes featured on the series of covers. While we're avid fans of Williams' colorful on-court outfits, we commend the former world champ for baring it all and celebrating her athletic, curvaceous physique.

"Playgirl," 2010 In an effort to extend his 15 minutes of fame, Bristol Palin's baby daddy decided to let it all hang out for "Playgirl" in 2010. While Levi Johnston didn't actually go full-frontal, we got a pretty good glimpse of the Alaskan hunter's assets in the shower-centered pictorial. Before his issue hit newsstands, Johnston told ET: "We're going to do it tastefully, and I don't think it's going to be a bad thing." We don't think egregious shots of his glistening abs are a bad thing at all! (CREDIT: Courtesy of Playgirl) The Full Story from iVillage.com | ||||
"Vanity Fair," 2006 Two milky-skinned, blonde starlets appeared nude alongside (fully clothed) designer Tom Ford on the cover of "Vanity Fair's" "Hollywood Issue" in 2006. At the time, both Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley were actresses on the rise: Johansson having starred in "Lost in Translation" and Knightley gaining fame for the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise. Both women went completely bare, giving readers quite an eyeful -- but the shoot was originally meant to feature even more nudity. Ford (who directed the issue) reportedly stepped in as a substitute for star Rachel McAdams at the last minute. "She did want to do it, and then when she was on the set I think she felt uncomfortable," he told "Good Morning America." "And I didn't want to make anybody feel uncomfortable."

Nokia Maps API supported web browser (basically any modern web browser)
Important note about maps credentials
Nokia provides several services options within the Maps API offering. The service is free to use, but you must obtain and use authentication and authorization credentials to use the services. Please read the Terms and Conditions and check the Pricing Plans page to decide which business model best fits your needs. Authentication requires unique Maps API credentials, namely an AppId and a token. You can get these credentials free for free following the instructions here
Nokia Maps API has built in support for KML. It is an abbreviation for Keyhole Markup Language, representing an XML notation for expressing geographic annotation and visualization within Internet-based, two-dimensional maps and three-dimensional Earth browsers. KML was developed as a Google Maps feature by company called Keyhole, Inc, later acquired by Google.
Today, KML is an international standard of the Open Geospatial Consortium (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Geospatial_Consortium) and is supported in the Nokia Maps API.
Restrictions in Nokia Maps
Nokia Maps API does not currently support 3D so, these values if provided would be discarded by the API.- Nokia Maps API does not currently support reading packaged KMZ files.
KML is structured as tag-based, with nested-elements and attributes and based on the XML standard. The tags are case-sensitive and they must appear exactly as they are listed in the official KML Reference, found within the OGC pages. The KML Reference indicates which tags are optional. Within a given element, tags must appear in the order shown in the Reference. The KML file can contain information for Markers, Places, images, Polygons, 3D models, textual descriptions, and so on. Common for all items placed is that they always have a longitude and a latitude. Additional data e.g. tilt, heading and altitude can be provided as "camera view". The KML file specifies a set of features (placemarks, images, polygons, 3D models, textual descriptions, etc.)
Example KML document
For the working example my_domain.com in the final line of the JavaScript will need to be altered as necessary.
kml.parseKML("http://my_domain.com/" + "kml_data_file.kml")
In this example we will have a simple KML document containing data for one Placemark, for Berlin, Alexanderplatz.
Please note that by the KML specification the coordinate is given in format: longitude, latitude.
File: kml_data_file.kml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2">
<description>Alexanderplatz, Berlin, Germany</description>
Example code
This code only works if a valid appID and token are supplied and the KML file to be parsed must be hosted on the same domain. Remember to add in your own AppId and Token and replace http://my_domain.com/ at the end of the code the location of the HTML and KML files.
