Missing KML icons

JasonNolan — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 16:11:38 GMT

I am overlaying a simple KML file containing just placemarks and an icon. Only a few locations are showing the proper icon, the rest are showing the generic yellow pushpin marker instead. Not every point has a unique icon. The KML file being used as I write this contains 159 points with 27 different icons. The points display correctly in ArcMap and Google Earth. Am I bumping up against some sort of limit or is this a server issue?

Jason,

It would seem that the esri kml utility service is not parsing the kml file correctly.

http://utility.arcgis.com/sharing/kml?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.weather.gov%2Fsource%2Fmarfc%2Ftw.kml&model=simple&folders=&outSR=%7B%22wkid%22%3A4326%7D&f=pjson

I would call esri tech support on this issue.
