fire a html query for a url like this :

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=hospitals&aq=&sll=54.89517,-1.866302&sspn=0.323796,0.811615&ie=UTF8&hq=hospitals&hnear=&ll=54.902277,-1.800385&spn=0.323738,0.811615&z=11&output=kml

note these 

hq=hospitals

and 

output=kml

You will receive a kml. Next you will need a sax parser. This code is sufficiently awesome. Use it only as a reference.

  • @hanry Read my answer carefully, the last line has a link. – Reno Feb 23 '11 at 06:05
  • I have used that link to load kml.....But I want to parse placemarks to show on map or list..... – Hanry Feb 23 '11 at 06:08
  • If thats what you want then do it. I believe that link covers it as well. – Reno Feb 23 '11 at 06:13
