I have 2 kmls. each have a number of points. N.B. I have just points and no route

i load one kml, and would like its points to be displayed in one colour

i then would like to load the next one, and would like its points to be displayed in a different colour to these

Is this possible?

(i set the kmls up in google maps. here you can change the colour of points on a kml

i did this , but it didnt carry over to oruxmaps)

thanks



(The following was an edit to the original post:)

SOLUTION:

In google maps, I had 2 points on a map. i colour coded one of the standard icons for one, a different colour to the other.

I loaded the kmz of this in oruxmaps, but the colours didnt carry - hence the original post

Ive now found a solution such that the colours do carry - basically, i added custom icon links to google maps, and then assigned them to the sights. These displayed the same - in terms of colour and shape - in orux maps

N.B. I downloaded the sights from google maps in kmz form i.e. not kml form, as I think kmls compromise some formatting
