Nokia HERE Map using Google Latitude - geolocation

Question

I am trying to parse and add my google latitude KML marker into the Nokia HERE map. It only works locally on my laptop in IE 9, but it doesn't add the marker in Safari 5.7, Chrome 27 (locally or on my web server). Any ideas?
kml.parseKML("http://latitude.google.com/latitude/apps/badge/api?user=-1099057214648547758&type=kml");

If the KML is being loaded successful on some browsers but not others, then this is almost certainly due to the browser in question kindly trying to prevent a cross-scripting domain attack.
You have three options
Host the KML file in the same domain as the JavaScript reading the file - e.g. if you own example.com, the JavaScript should be hosted on example.com and the KML hosted on example.com
set up the KML parser to retrieve the file example.com and use a proxy solution such as this php example to really retrieve the file from elsewhere
Enable CORS on the server hosting the KML file, and load the KML using AJAX followed by the parse() method as shown in this example
If the KML is never loaded successfully, you should check to see whether the file is valid, and indeed whether the HTML displaying the map is syntactically correct.
