As gummay pointed out earlier, our coordinate system doesn't match with
the one Google uses, so I guess it's still beta.  Google Maps does have
support for KML so it can happen, but once again people will be anywhere
up to 500m out because of the mis-matched coordinate systems.  Fixing
the coordinates takes some serious script-foo, updating the API calls is
easy.

Yes, a Linux version is available these days.
