How to feed this XML stream to Google maps?

I have a url that returns XML coordinates in the below format. I want to put a Google map on my page and feed it these push pin coordinates. Is there a nice and quick way to do this via Javascript or jQuery?

I would suggest transforming your xml into KML which google maps can handle very happily using an inbuild method called GGeoXml.

KML is a standard geo-coding data format which is used be a number of different mapping solutions.

or you can parse your xml and create a marker like this:

var point= new GLatLng(25.19483, 65.7162);
var marker = new GMarker(point);
map.addOverlay(marker);
