Is there a size restriction on KML layer in esri map?

Question

My website utilizes ESRI's map and it contains several KML layers. Most of them show up fine except for the ones bigger than ~4MB. Are there any restrictions on KML file size?

Thanks,

Unfortunately, someone from ESRI will have to chime in about this. The only KML files I have personally dealt with using the JS API have been VERY small (< 100kb).

Thanks, evtguy. From that page, I see this relevant bit:KML layers larger than 10 MB cannot be added to maps.

I tested it with ~4MB files (individually and cummulatively) and they still aren't showing up. Could it be that the limit is <4MB?

I don't know specifically about KMLs & the JS API but here's a link to the limitations of using KMLs with Arcgis.com:

Perhaps these limitations also apply to KML layers within the API..
