Whenever you upload your Google sitemap to your Google sitemaps account they will download your map and validate it for you which can take a couple of hours depending on how busy they are at the time.

If you can’t wait for Google to do it and want to make sure everything is okay straight away then we have launched a Google Sitemap validator on my site XML-Sitemaps.com.

The validator will also optionally ping Google with the whereabouts of your site map if you haven’t done so already although we would recommend you inform Google of your sitemaps via the Google Webmaster Tools.
