Is anyone here aware of an app for either Android or iOS that will read KML layers and overlay on a GPS enabled map? Ideally I would like to see a simple KML layer of points on the Google Maps iOS app.

This is a feature that will be coming to our PDF Maps all very soon.

That will be a great addition to the maps app. Any chance the MAPublisher flash map exports would get the same functionality?
Unfortunately for my immediate need this isn't a full solution since I also need the routing capability of Google maps under the KML overlay.

Based on a quick search it seems like you can use a combination of the Google Earth App and a Google My Maps account to view a KML file.
Alternatively, if your KML has a web address you can overlay that on a Google Map, and view this in a browser on an iOS device...I think.
Hope that helps,
David

That depends on what OS you are using on your phone. There are new ones all the time. Personally, I like using Sygic because you can integrate layers, similar to Layar (Android only).
Now, if Apple made developing apps easier for third-party companies, we'd have a lot more!
