title: KML markers have recently disappeared from Google Maps
body: <p>About half a year ago I created a Google Maps application (v3) which loads a number of placemarks from a KML file ( <a href="http://www.ioors.nl/projects.kml" rel="nofollow">http://www.ioors.nl/projects.kml</a> ). This used to work without any problems. Recently though, I have noticed that the markers are not visible anymore in the map. When I load the KML file in maps.google.com the placemarks are listed on the left, but the markers aren't visible there either.</p>
  
  <p>After running a few tests this problem would seem the be caused by style element. Leaving it out makes the markers visible.</p>
  
  <p>I have also tested this with some sample KML code from Google ( <a href="https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/kmlreference#balloonstyle" rel="nofollow">https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/kmlreference#balloonstyle</a> ) and the same problem seems to occur there.</p>
  
  <p>Has Google Maps' support for KML changed recently (can't find anything on Google about that though) or is something else causing the problem?</p>
  
  <p>Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Kind regards,</p>
