I downloaded a KML file and tried to load it into my project, which uses the Google maps API.
When I load this KML I don't see any results. Other KML files work.

Here's the KML file. I think they look different from the other KML files I found.

<description>The primary use of the term Oceania is to describe a continental region (like Europe or Africa) that lies between Asia and the Americas, with Australia as the major land mass. The name Oceania is used, rather than Australia, because unlike the other continental groupings, it is the ocean rather than the continent that links the nations together. Oceania is the smallest continental grouping in land area and the second smallest, after Antarctica, in population.</description>

I think that the file is relevant for Google Earth. Is it possible to convert it to Google maps KML? Could you please advise me why it is not working ?
