Geo positions - auto KML/KMZ

[daiko]

I would love to see a mod that includes Geo Lat Lon info to profiles, and maybe also gives users the ability to ad Geo-info to their posts. It might then produce dynamic KML/KMZ files bringing you to the place. It is done in Wordpress with hxxp:dev.wp-plugins.org/browser/wp-geopositions/trunk/ [nonactive] and on flickr with the hxxp:flickr.com/groups/topic/65009/ [nonactive]. Fo

Anybody up for the job?

Maybe you have other ideas of using/integrating GeoPositions. One thing could be to be able to add tags in posts that automatically creates the links, an other is simply providing the Lat/Lon.

Maybe it already exists?

Wouldn't it be ok to just unable uploading of ".kml" files, or could that pose a security risk?

I definately need help with this.

I have allowed uploading of ".kml" files.

BUT - when I enable sharing of them through Flashchat, I get the error "document contains scripting elements - may pose a security risk!

Does allowing the uploading of ".kml" files in SMF pose a security risk? (and if so - any suggestions on how I can plug it?

Here is an example .kml file...
