Modify KML files for Maps

1. The file is not in .kml format. The file may be of type .kmz or .shp. Open the file in Google Earth and save as .kml then reload to Salesforce.
2. The file has a missing attribute. This solution is slightly more complex and requires a text editor such as Sublime, NetBeans, or Notepad++.

To resolve this follow the below steps

• Move the file to your desktop
• Right click the file and Open With the text editor
• Find and remove the “xsi:” attribute from the Document tag (highlighted in example below)
