Simple Google Maps

I tried to use KML to map the Portland Public Schools (PPS), but it seems like there's a definite limit on the number of items you can map this way. When I load the map I get an error: "Parts of http://www.rdrop.com/~moss/... could not be displayed because it is too large."

I don't think the limit is due to file size. I've compressed the KML to a KMZ and that didn't make a difference. Also, I removed a bunch of the data from the description to make the size smaller -- no change. No matter what I do, Google Maps only maps about 70 sites from a KML file. Since there are about 100 PPS schools, this isn't optimal.

By the way: to make a KMZ file from a KML file, just zip it up with WinZip.

So, the comment that Google Maps works better than Yahoo doesn't appear to be entirely true.
