I have a kml file for a Google map I have created. The file contains place details for each marker that appear between <ExtendedData> tags. Google Maps has "lost" some of my place details, and when I import the kml file they don't show up on the map.

So what I'm looking for is a way to display the complete contents of the kml file on a map.

Also, Google Maps limits the number of places that can be displayed on a single map page, and that is inconvenient, especially since there's no way to specify where the page breaks are.

My map is of wineries in Israel, and if you're interested, you can see it here. You will notice that some of the wineries have place details and some do not, even though the kml file contains place details for all of them.

If you can add functionality to WordPress.com to display complete kml data on a map, that would be outstanding.

My question was a general one to clear up my confusion. I think the description on the plugins support page might benefit from some rewording, as I doubt I'm the only one who didn't understand.

Having said that, I'd love a map plugin that can read and display data from a kml file. I've been having trouble with a Google map and I'm looking for alternatives. I believe that there's a kml plugin for wordpress.org, but I want to see if it works the way I need before I go to the trouble of buying a domain and setting up wordpress.org.

I understand that in WordPress.com I cannot upload plugins and there is no plugins tab on my dashboard.

On the other hand, this support page says:

There are lots of plugins already bundled with every WordPress.com blog and website. They extend WordPress functionality and include things like Google Sitemaps, caching, Akismet anti-spam, Carousel slideshows, social media buttons, and over a hundred others.

So where are these plugins, and how do I access/use them? Or does this mean that WordPress.com has built-in features that would otherwise be provided by plugins?

Anyway, something here is unclear to me, and I don't like feeling stupid.

Thanks
