I am working with a client who wants to display an intersitial page
prior to being redirected to the Google Maps sites after the Terms of
Use link or the Google Maps icon is clicked. The client is not
requesting the removal of the link or of the icon. Has anyone done
this? Thanks for your comments.
Limiting the Map to just one country

Posted: May 15th, 2008, 10:20pm CEST by insanomania911

Greetings everyone,

I am very new to this. I am trying to limit my map to just one
country, say the US. I am not trying to save bandwidth or anything
just I need a simple way to limit my map to the US in a way that the
user looks at the map like there is only the US in the world.

Any ideas ?
Looking for a .NET programmer to create dynamic tiles

Posted: May 15th, 2008, 10:18pm CEST by maps.huge.info [Maps API Guru]

I've been asked to create a .NET application that creates dynamic
tiles for an application, USNaviguide is open source based, so .NET is
out of our sphere of interest. We are willing to sub this out to a
qualified contractor. Please contact me through e-mail if interested.

Possible to merge overlays into single overlay?

Posted: May 15th, 2008, 10:15pm CEST by jottinger

I've searched around the web and can't seem to locate any ability to
do this, but I thought I'd give the groups a shot.

I have multiple overlays that I would like to merge into a single
overlay (strictly for ease of programming). Is there a way to do this
that is built into the API, or will I need to make my own class?
Slow loading when using EGeoXml

Posted: May 15th, 2008, 9:08pm CEST by Elizabeth

Hi

I have a problem embedding JavaScript function into kml file when
using Geoxml. As I learn from Mike Willians, I switch Geoxml to
EGeoXml to process kml file. With EGeoXml, JavaScipt function works
fine in the infoWindow. But the loading time for EGeoXml is very
slow.

This is my testing page for using GeoXml. It is fast, but infoWindow

Hi,

I am trying to create an application adressed to our sales reps that
will create a route map using Google Maps. Now, since this app will

GTileLayerOverlay with tileSize != 256

Posted: May 15th, 2008, 8:25pm CEST by Dustin

Hi,

I want to use a GTileLayerOverlay which uses tiles of size other than
256x256 pixels (128x128 in this case).

The API documentation for GMapType.getTileSize() suggests that:
"All tile layers have the same tile size."

So I thought I could achieve my goal by:

(1) creating a base GMapType with tileSize=128 and a constant black

Hi,

Is it possible to call a simple javascript fiunction from inside a

{GLog.write("You clicked a polygon at overlaylatlng ");

Geocoder for flash version failed in non-english words search (Bug?)

I am mapping the address of all the folks that will be attending my
daughter's wedding. I have a static array of addresses which I loop
through as follows:

I am trying to use the example you have posted in the API and can not
get it to compile in Flash OR Flex3 right now. I keep getting this

Translation error in Google Maps (Norwegian Nynorsk): "mi" -> "km"

Posted: May 15th, 2008, 4:31pm CEST by skjaeve

There's an error in the Norwegian Nynorsk (nn) translation of Google
Maps. If you set your browser to request pages in Norwegian Nynorsk
(lang code nn) and open a map page, the map scale will show "km" where
the English page shows "mi". So there are two length scales both
labeled "km", but one of them is actually miles.

markers pushed up against left side of map

Posted: May 15th, 2008, 8:44am CEST by petecutter

I am surprised that I have not yet been able to find more on this
issue. I am displaying a lot of markers on a map and --although the
shadows are in place on the map--the markers are neatly lined up along
the left side of the page. Is this just a problem with too many
markers?

Vertical GScaleControl

Posted: May 15th, 2008, 8:27am CEST by zumankii

Hi,
I'm in need of a vertical GScaleControl.

- Does the Google Maps API provide a vertical GScaleControl?
- If it does not, is there anyone that has implemented one and can
provide a snippet?
- If not, does anyone have any ideas of how to implement it?

Thanks // zumankii

Hello,

thank you again for the brand new feature!

However, after a quick look I've found out that scrolling in/out with
a mouse wheel on the map doesn't work just as it did in the JavaScript
version - at least on my Mac (Firefox or Camino). After some googling
(yeah), here's a "hack" that works:
