Large KML data support

Hi Orux,
Thank you for great app!
If I load a KML overlay that contains over 9000 points, the loading process doesn't end. Is there other ways to load this large KML other than splitting into small files?
Best regards,
Tagussan

I've had very large kml files load successfully but they just take a long time. A 3Mb kml takes about 5 minutes on a Galaxy S2.
Perhaps Orux can optimise the way the software parses the file?

The size of KML file I want to load is only 900kB. But, if I load this file, OruxMaps still display processing window after 15 minutes elapsed. I made a KML data without name, description. Like this.

Does this contains odd syntax and prevents OruxMaps from loading this file?

Hi,

xml parsing is a hard work, that work is done mostly by android libraries. but I will try to improve it.

Please, send me the kml file, to see where is the problem. 900kb should not be a problem-->oruxuro@gmail.com
