SimpleKml for Python 3.3: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/simplekml/1.2.1

1) First is the kml creation, see "misc" folder for example 2) Custom NATO icons can be referenced (upload then linked in the kml) 3) Then all we needa do is http://maps.google.com/?q=<url to kml file> (seriously now how huge is that ?)

Some example code to display custom icon:

kml = simplekml.Kml()
kml.newpoint(name="Kirstenbosch", coords=[(18.432314,-33.988862)])
pnt = kml.newpoint(name="Icone de test", coords=[(18.432414,-33.988990)])
pnt.iconstyle.icon.href = 'https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-pyqo-LMmhos/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/WpBRYvZ7x4A/s27-c/photo.jpg'
kml.save("botanicalgarden.kml")
