I'm having some trouble displaying KML data on the Worldmap. Here is my payload.command.map data.

I got this data off the US census website and copied the raw KML data for Missouri. I'm probably not providing enough context data here, but wanted to make sure the syntax was correct and see if anybody had tips on why this isn't drawing on the map?

that doesn't look like any kml file I've ever seen...

Does someone have a few examples of sending KML data to the node? I see there is a previous string but I can't get the example to import into my node red instance.
