Hiding Text Descriptions

December 17th, 2007 · No Comments · Earth, KML, Manuals, Maps

::: via :::

From a fellow Googler: you can hide the text description of a placemark in the Places pane in Google Earth by using the <Snippet> element of KML. Read more in the KML documentation.

This <Snippet> element allows you to control how many lines of the text in a placemark description box is displayed in the Places pane. The default value is two lines. You can increase this by using this syntax:

<Snippet maxLines=”X”>

or you can hide all the text by using this syntax:

<Snippet></Snippet>

Note this tag must be inserted inside the element of your KML file:

<Placemark>
<name>Moby Arena</name>
<Snippet></Snippet>
<description>Moby Arena
