disabling ipad from creating placemarks on google map

Question

I have a google map that I created with KML:

Here is a link to the map:

Here is the complete KML file:

When browsing this map with my IPAD using safari, for some reason when I tap anywhere on the map, it creates a point there on the map.

How do I disable point creation on the map so that IPAD users are not able to do this?

Answer 1

I checked the link as well and Marcelo seems to be correct. To have a maps with the ability to turn on and off layers you will need to build your own site and perhaps use Javascript and the Google-maps API to build it. Maybe start here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial

Answer 2

You cannot disable adding a place mark if you are browsing the map in safari

You can control it if you use map kit iOS API of the iOS SDK.

• For importing KML-Data into that SDK, you can use Sample Code from Apple: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#samplecode/KMLViewer/Introduction/Intro.html
• But there is no built-in KML Import in iOS SDK. You can use other frameworks as mapbox/Simple-KML here https://github.com/mapbox/Simple-KML

If you want to do this in safari, then you're lost, unless you can manipulate that using JavaScript!!!
