  I like where you're going with this, but what you're trying to do isn't possible (yet).
  
  As it currently stands, you need to use an **Asset** as the `kmlFile` parameter...
  
  <https://plugins.doublesecretagency.com/smart-map/kml-files/>
  
  It's on the roadmap to allow a string URL to be passed in directly.

  **UPDATE:**
  
  I've just added the ability to specify a KML by its absolute URL string. The new feature will be included in the next release of Smart Map. :)
