This example constructs a KmlLayer object from a given GeoRSS feed.

Read the documentation.

function initMap() {
  var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
    zoom: 4,
    center: {lat: 49.496675, lng: -102.65625}
  });

  var georssLayer = new google.maps.KmlLayer({
    url: 'http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/geo/?g=322338@N20&lang=en-us&format=feed-georss'
  });
  georssLayer.setMap(map);
}
<div id="map"></div>
/* Always set the map height explicitly to define the size of the div
 * element that contains the map. */
#map {
  height: 100%;
}
/* Optional: Makes the sample page fill the window. */
html, body {
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
