Help with viewing KML in Google Maps

[JerryMungo]

Anyone know where I can post a KML file for viewing in Google Maps (maps.google.com)?
I used to be able to use the google earth community forum, attach my kml and there would be a link to 'view in google maps'... it's not there anymore.

Google maps requires a hotlink to the kml file to be able to view it... e.g.:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=http://services.google.com/earth/kmz/EiffelTower.kmz

The bold bit is the hotlink to the kmz / kml...

Any suggestions? Alternatively, any suggestions on a good place that will host the file for free without a login or fee?
Thanks!

You can try 000webhost which is a good totally free host.

You signup, get a domain and then you can upload any file you want, because its your website

I even got a free za.net domain to be attached to it. Contact me if you need any help

You're right, they do: google pages

They actually mention it when you google search for kml to google maps feature
