How to view KML files :

Normally if Google Earth  is installed on your computer and you just click on the kml file it will open GE and dislay the kml.

However, instead of using Google Earth to view a kml file, you can also view the kml file in Google Maps in any web browser by putting it on a publicly accessible website and supplying its URL to Google Maps.   For example if you cut and paste the URL "http://www.wildsoft.org/SurveyArea3/samplefiles/20070107_1115.kml" and enter it in Google Maps then you should see the track without the need for Google Earth to be installed on your computer.

How to display Shapefiles in Googlemaps 

It is possible to upload the shapefile that you created with SurveyArea to our website and display the track on a GoogleMap satellite image or map.  The link is http://www.wildsoft.org/surveyarea/map/map.aspx
