Google maps on iphones can load kml files from URLs - you just need to save your kml or kmz to a site somewhere. Again, the Wild Endurance stuff discussed earlier is an example.
If reading this thread on an iPhone then click on the link:
http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=http://www.epacrisenviro.com.au/WE2011/Wild-Endurance-2011.kmz&sll=-33.714898,150.322967&sspn=0.017527,0.032938&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=13

Works fine on my old iPhone 3G - but a bit slowly...

Another way is to enter http://www.epacrisenviro.com.au/WE2011/Wild-Endurance-2011.kmz into the Google Maps search box and it will load up. At the moment, the Google Maps app only supports points and tags are ignored (not lines) but this is a very speedy way to load datasts.
