title: Public KML file not found using "maps.google.com/maps?q=" or JS API v3
body: <p><strong>Edit</strong>  </p>
  
  <p>Solved... Compressed file and uploaded as kmz file. to same path. Now shows correctly in <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://sailingofftheedge.com/kml/testfile.kmz" rel="nofollow">http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://sailingofftheedge.com/kml/testfile.kmz</a> </p>
  
  <p>----------Original Question--------------</p>
  
  <p>Trying to set up a simple embedded map using API v3 and while the map itself displays fine, Google does not seem to be able to read the publicly available KML file needed for the overlay.
  sailingofftheedge.com/kml/testfile.kml (File size 290.4KB)</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://maps.google.com/?q=http://sailingofftheedge.com/kml/testfile.kml" rel="nofollow">https://maps.google.com/?q=http://sailingofftheedge.com/kml/testfile.kml</a> Returns file not found.
  feedvalidator.org/ returns a few warnings about validation, but is able to access and parse the file. </p>
  
  <p>Suggestions?</p>
