Very cool. Very similar to my utility here:

It appears to use the live database (whereas mine uses a copy of the live database).

 

Cool, thanks for sharing.

I know this works on a droid. The trick is to get the kml file into My Maps.

 

1. Visit http://www.metzgerwillard.us/ngscs/ngscs.html and download NGSCS.

 

2. Click on Query Setup to initiate a search and follow the instructions for your search type.

 

3. Open the Search Results folder, click on Save As, and save the file to your computer.

 

4. Visit http://maps.google.com/maps and click on My Maps. Use Google Chrome for this step; at the moment, IE8 will not import to My Maps.

 

5. Click on Create New Map, Import the file you saved in step 3, and click on Done.

 

6. On an Android, select Google Maps -> Layers -> More Layers -> My Maps -> NGS Control Stations.
