How to add / display .kmz on ESRI Maps for SharePoint webpart

[SatyamAMIN]

Hello,

As we know that ESRI Maps for SharePoint does not have direct support for adding kmz files, I would like to display / add .kmz file on the map inside webpart. I guess that it's possible by doing custom development.

My kmz files are stored in SharePoint list.

Has anyone has done this before ?

Thanks in advance,
Satyam

Hello,

Adding kmz/kml directly to Esri Maps for SharePoint is not supported, but you could create a map in ArcGIS Online and then open/add that map in either the Esri Maps Web Part (JavaScript) or ArcGIS Map Web Part (Silverlight).

Hope that helps,

I have tried this and the kmz layer does not render in either the ArcGIS web part or the ESRI wed part. The map does render.

I am on an SP site with HTTPS enabled and I have followed the instructions to set things up for this scenario but there is a Layer Initialization error - the language in the error references a security exception.

Has anyone come across this?

Thanks

Paul

Hello,

I wanted to open KMZ using extensibility Silverlight API which I succeed.

Thanks again for your reply.

Hi,

Have you tried on SP site without HTTPS ? If it's work, then something to do with security exception.

I have tried with just http and still get a layer initialization error but no security exception.

Any thoughts?

Hello,

Can you poste your source code ? Also send me detail error message. In my case there are few KMZ which are posing same error but others are displaying correctly. Try to open one by one KMZ to check is there any error with any specific KMZ.

I only have one KMZ file. And there is no source code. I am using the SharePoint v3.x Web Part (ArcGIS and ESri) to display from the Map Center hosted on ArcGIS online.
