Add custom POI layer to map from a KML file

Anton, where should I put the KML file?

Anywhere. You can provide a link to a third party hosted file, or you can upload it to "web" folder inside Traccar.

I try use kml file on demo server and this not working.
I send my kml file on my hosting and paste link into the traccar in my account like this:
http://mydomain/somecatalog/kmlfile.kml
Is this correct or no?

Yes, but your server needs to allow CORS.

Hi friends! POI works great!, but I don't know if you have problems when changing the KML content, seems to keep cached...anyone else have this problem?

Anton Tananaev 8 years ago

Traccar doesn't cache anything, but your browser might.

Thanks Anton, I'm checking all alternatives.!

Hi,
I don´t get working...
This function allow to point to a kml file and the point on that kml will show on maps like a layer?
Im using bing maps, can I point to KML?

My kml file is: http://oficina.grupoesmeralda.com.ar:8082/GE.kml

Maybe I dont undestand something, but the link to kml file must goes on third fiel of the server serttings from traccar web?
PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT SCREENSHOT: http://oficina.grupoesmeralda.com.ar:8082/traccar_kml.JPG

is there where must be setup?

sorry for my english.
