Additional Information

This is a known limit of working with KML on the web; the style URL is stored within the KML file itself.

Workaround

  • Consider converting the KML files to layers (https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/conversion/kml-to-layer.htm).
  • Alternatively, host the relevant symbology files on a web server within the local network and edit the KML files (in a text editor such as Notepad++) to point to the local symbol files instead of those hosted on maps.google.com.
