I am plotting a bunch of zipcodes from the US, but on occasion I have
some foreign postal codes that I am trying to locate using the
geocoder. "W11 2JU" goes to somewhere in Illinois when I use my

advice.
1. Can it support overlay of both raster & vector map?
2. How can perform spatial analysis with map display on screen?
3. Could I export the map layout to the jpg or other format?

I used function custom tiles to get my own tiles instead of using
google's tiles:
var CustomGetTileUrl=function(poin t,zoom)

var hybridLayer = [ tilelayers, G_HYBRID_MAP.getTileLayers()[1 ] ] ;

I have developed some maps about tourism with mashups since one year
ago, and I didn't modified the code since that I launched it . But
today I discovered that my maps doesn't run more as before,. the only
thing that maps show us is a street version , without the references
Then I try to load some more points, and they don't show up. It takes
a long time to happen so I know that my script is doing something with
my XML file, but I am not sure exactly what it is doing since none of
the other points ever appear.
You can find my map here.

between 2 places. The user has to give the 2 names of the places so

Google Maps provides code to embed a map in a web page - inside an
iframe.
Can I use this code on an intrAnet page at my company?
I have read the Ts&Cs at: [link]
and I note this line:
I have different latitude/longitude points and I need to calculate the
shortest distance between them.
This means that the gDirections.loadFromWaypoints( ) output has not to
consider the GLatLon points as they are inserted into the input array
of this function, but give back the best and shortest trip.
Any idea's as to what is going on, I'm sure it was working fine ?

This website was working fine last night, but now does not appear to

that ?)

Im thinking of starting a business and prouduce webpages for smaller
companies. Can I implement Google Maps API under the contact part of
their site, so their customers can find them?
I will charge them for the design and future support of the webpage
but not for the map I take from Google.
I have a map with a height value of 250px (set through CSS). Once the
map has been loaded, I give the option to change its height to 400px
(using Javascript). It works fine, but whenever I open an info window
(openInfoWindowHtml) or try to center the map, it centers itself as if
the height was 250px, leaving too much map below.

When searching google for Hotel Names (for example search for "hilton
docklands, london"), then the first match is a Google Map WITH a set
of Hotel Ratings and Comments. I was wondering if it were possible to
access these ratings/comments via an API.
It is basically a route via an array of geopoints. The array could be
map = new GMap2(document.getElementById( "map_canvas"));
map.addControl(new GLargeMapControl());
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(25.039998, 121.511964), 16);
map.setMapType(G_NORMAL_MAP);
var arrLatLng = new Array();
