Code stopped working

Posted: May 6th, 2008, 11:31pm CEST by kelphugger

Basic code for multiple custom pin locations and then click to zoom

The code I have had in the past has stopped working any suggestions
would be great.

Here's what I have... Thanks in advance

KML file not rendering on Google Maps (works on Google Earth).

Posted: May 6th, 2008, 11:22pm CEST by BicNet@gmail.com

I'm overlaying the following kml file on Google Maps:

(I changed it to a .txt so my web server would allow you to view it).

It's a ~700kb file. I have other 500kb files that are rendering fine.
This file also renders fine in Google Earth.

Can anyone let me know why this isn't working? It was exported from
Custom Overlays - From ArcGIS.

Posted: May 6th, 2008, 11:02pm CEST by BicNet@gmail.com

I'm working with a customer that wants to overlay their entire county
onto our product (which uses Google Maps).

They want to do this because the Maps are not 100% accurate, and their
GIS office has the most accurate map data. They need this for EMS
vehicles.

What would be the best bet for this?

Google Maps Lazy Loading - Safari 3 for Windows

Posted: May 6th, 2008, 8:49pm CEST by way2sirius

Has anyone else experienced the problem in Safari 3.x for Windows?

If you "lazy-load" a map, you get the grey background, the "Powered by
Google" logo, and the "drag" cursor, but the images never load! It
works great in IE7 and Firefox 2, but chokes in Safari 3.

Are there any known work-arounds?
GLatLng and GClientGeocoder.getLatLng() differences

Posted: May 6th, 2008, 8:19pm CEST by See The Light

All - we have a current solution that has both lat/long and the
address in a search. If the lat/long is null the process uses the
address to get the point using the GClientGeocoder.getLatLng()
method. The reason for the question is that we add the point to an
array which allows us to add and remove it from the map using a simple

Possible regression with version 2.110

Posted: May 6th, 2008, 5:33am CEST by Philip

I have a maps app that (for some reason in the past) I had set on
v=2.x. It broke subtly when 2.110 came out/ It could be one of two
reasons:

1: I call clearOverlays with no arguments -- there doesn't appear to
be any documentation on what the argument should be for 2.110

2. it is a regression in 2.110.
