I'm not sure about the Google Maps Mobile Appli, but the GMM I have
in the US takes URLs of KML feeds and then displays that data as
points on the map.
WARNING: Shameless plug alert.
Here's an example, my company - Socialight (http://socialight.com) -
allows you to create location-based Sticky Notes and then export them
in a number of different formats including GeoRSS and KML.
Google Maps now supports both GeoRSS and KML Try throwing a GeoRSS
URL feed into the search field in Gmaps - like this: http://
maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=http%3A%2F%2Fsocialight.com%2Ffeeds%
2Fnotes_by%
2FMmmyyk&ie=UTF8&ll=74.211983,-67.5&spn=77.242525,253.828125&z=2&om=1
You can do the same thing on the mobile version, so if we take the
GeoRSS feed of my Sticky Notes from Socialight - which is here:
http://socialight.com/feeds/notes_by/Mmmyyk
I then make a handy little tinyurl out of it like so: http://
tinyurl.com/3eyvqn
And then on Google Maps Mobile, I can just go to Search -> Business,
and type in the TinyURL and it will then display all the points on
the map.
Hope this helped. Let me know if it works in Japan!
Cheers
Michael
