When using Yahoo! Maps for map development on a local machine it is good to note thatright now the GeoRSS XML overlay method will not allow referencing a local XML fileor using a local URL reference. For example, you cannot refer to http://localhost/mystores.xml TheXML file must be fully accessible via the internet. It appears that the Yahoo! serversfetch the file and the points are then added to the map, not the local machine. Anydevelopment must be done on a remote server or you must make your development machineport 80 available to the internet.
