I notice that Firefox 3 demonstrates this problem. I put down an overlay icon and play around with the map zoom. At certain zoom level, I found that the icon disappears for some unknown reason. Zooming out brings back the icon. Or during the disappearance, I click on the Google Map and it will somehow trigger to bring back the icon. I...
I'm wondering if there is a way to access the Markers that were added to a Map using JavaScript after creation. I mean, is it possible to make a button somewhere on the page that, on each click, centers the map on another marker that was added previously? Any help would really be appreciated! ...
I have a national customer who are currently recruiting dealers by selling each dealer an area for a set fee. They want a 'find a dealer' feature on their website which should point customers to the dealer who has purchased the area the visitor enters. At first we were going to list major cities with the hope that the visitor would cli...
I have noticed that my geocoder is inconsistent in the code shown below because before the "getLatLng" method is called I show 10 valid locations, but after this line of code the number of points that actually show up is different each time I search (same search criteria - fyi) Between 5 and 10 at random .. very strange Anyone have issu...
Is there a way to programmatically list all geo-tagged Wikipedia entries within a radius of a long/lat point? I'm thinking this is possible with the google maps API but I am interested in any method. NOTE: I do not want to display a googlemap. ...
There are some good geocoding plugins (e.g. geokit) but can you recommend a googlemaps plugin for "the view" in rails? I used YM4R/GM before but I don't know if its still up to date... ...
I'm working on a website of a client, a local church. I've embedded a Google Map using the Link feature on the Maps page. The info window on the map includes "Reviews," and the church is concerned about this. Is there a way to remove that from the info window? I don't want to remove any reviews themselves, just that link on the info ...
I have been doing some research on using maps in iPhone applications and it looks like most of my needs can be met passing KML data into the built-in google maps application, but I cannot seem to set the same values (phone, home page, address) that are available when performing a built-in search in the maps application. Does anyone know...
I need an algorithm that will convert a GPS coordinate to a screen location on a displayed google map. I would think this would be simple- get the coordinates for the four corners of the displayed map, find the differential and create a scaling factor for a pixel location on the screen. Is this correct or am I missing something. I'm k...
I could use a goog set of eyes on my project. I am designing a skin for the google maps API that resembles the native Google Maps App on the iPhone. Ive already got it: 1) Displaying a custom info window 2) Custom pins/markers 3) Pins falling from the sky on load 4) Pulling data from an XML file Unfortunately I can not get it work...
I am trying to build a Google Maps-driven web application that can display a map of the whole world in one or all of the following configurations: A continent-outline map, only differentiating between land and water (like this, but without the country borders/names, and without showing any additional detail as you zoom in) A physical g...
My site uses the Google Maps API. In situations where the connection to Google is slow and the map can't be rendered in a reasonable time, I'd like a Javascript callback method to be called such that I can display a useful message to the user rather than have a 'loading...' message constantly displayed. Is this achievable? ...
I'm trying to create a gray "frame" (see pic below) around a google map, to try to convey the concept of an area of focus, as oppose to a point (which is usually represented with a marker). Note that this is not an overlay, that is, the gray "frame" should not move when you drag the map. Edited: image link added http://i680.photobucke...
Is there a way so show google maps in (hybrid) terrain mode with QuickConnectiPhone? Is it possible to search like usa, california, street number instead of using latitude and longitude? ...
I'm building a little play project and I'd like to use satellite images of a town inside deepzoom, what's the easiest way to get them? I'm sure there's a MUCH better way than PrtScn, I've tried google maps downloader but it doesn't download satellite images and it's company don't seem to be offering it anymore. ...
Greetings: I have put together a RESTful web service in .NET 3.5 that takes a phone number and does a reverse lookup to retrieve the ZIP code of that location. I am now creating an *.aspx page that will present the output of a request to the Google Maps API. This output will be a polygon on a map that will be that US ZIP code. I'm wonde...
Is it possible to send two lat long points to google to calculate the distance between the two? ...
I'm having trouble laying a html div over the Google Earth plugin in a web application, any help would be appreciated. It's fine for Map, Terrain and Hybrid mode, but on 'Earth' mode, the Flash kicks in and automatically layers the map on top. Z-indexing doesn't help. Presumably I could do something like: document.getElementById('fla...
Hello All, thanks for all the help the last few days. I'm hoping someone knows this one. I'm looking to dynamically create a heatmap of data based on user input, then color certain states based on the response. Like a poll for voting, for example. I'd like to do something like this... http://www.trulia.com/home_prices/ What is going to...
I'm creating a Google map to display multiple points with each point having a short text label. I found a JavaScript library that lets me label the markers easily. I would also like to make the markers draggable. I'm working from this example. http://gmaps-utility-library.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/mapiconmaker/1.1/examples/createflatico...
