KML, Traffic, and Bicycling layers come to Maps API v3

"Since being formalized as an Open Geospatial Consortium standard, KML
has become something of a lingua franca for geospatial information.
>From humble beginnings in Google Earth, KML support can now be found
in a wide variety of mapping products and services. Today we’re happy
to add Maps API v3 to this list with the introduction of the new
KmlLayer  class. The KmlLayer class enables KML or GeoRSS files that
are hosted on publicly accessible web sites to be rendered in a Maps
API v3 application.

The KmlLayer class is just one of several new layer classes we’re
adding to Maps API v3 today. A layer class handles a collection of
overlays that are added to the map as a single entity. In addition to
the KmlLayer class, we are also adding a TrafficLayer class and a
BicyclingLayer class."
