Re: G_SATELLITE_3D_MAP "a is null" error

grottocen...@gmail.com (grottocenter@gmail.com) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 15:46:21 UT

Found it!

The overviewMapControl seems to fire an error on 3D map type (for
GMaps API V2.184):
map.addControl(new google.maps.OverviewMapControl ());

It works great now!

Thanks anyway.

Country names and address field in geocoding

nakti...@gmail.com (Naktinis) — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:11:25 UT

I have three notes/suggestions to HTTP geocoding service.

When querying google maps geocoding api via HTTP request for "Estonia"
or "Tallinn" ([link]), the response
only returns "CountryNameCode: EE", but does not return "CountryName"
itself. However, when querying for most other countries (e.g.

I have a script (joomla) which takes Lat/Long to place markers.
Now i want that script to make that with addresses.

The Following should be the whole code which somehow should be
modified:
map.setCenter( new GLatLng( ".$params->get("keyref")."), ".
$zoomlevel.");
map.setMapType(".$maptypes.");

Re: Euclidean projection, zoom levels, and polygons (oh my!)

The easy way to achieve that effect is to use zoom levels 13 to 17
rather than zoom levels 1 to 4. Display blank tiles outside the visible
region. Technically things do still wrap, but the user only perceives
the effect if they drag the map sideways through 2048 screenwidths.

It is also possible to do it by writing getWrapWidth() and

Re: Cursor change during right click

nos...@econym.demon.co.uk (Mike Williams) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:48:30 UT

You don't get control of the cursor when dragging a marker, but you
could write your own dragCrossImage crosshairs if you don't like the
Google ones.

Also, draggable markers only ever drag with the left mouse button.

So I think you're out of luck with that.

Thanks a lot for your answer (and of course also for your fantastic
website).

OK, I understand. On the other hand, the right click should be like a
hidden feature addressed to an advanced user (and a changing cursor on
mousedown is not so rare). Normally he wants to drag the whole map as
he is used with Google Maps. To add a marker at an exact position

(Hi Mike. It's an honor to get some feedback from you. It's amazing
the amount of code I've learned (and cribbed) from your site :)

That solves part of the problem, but not provide the full effect I'd
like it to. I want to restrict the map so that no tiles are repeated
and no markers or polylines "wrap around" the canvas. I've

Pitfall #2:
The API calculates the polyline geometry at zoom level 17. This means
that any GProjection used in a map that has polylines must be created
with at least 18 zoom levels, even if the map itself has far fewer
zoom levels.

Re: Euclidean projection, zoom levels, and polygons (oh my!)

nos...@econym.demon.co.uk (Mike Williams) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:43:59 UT

The API code performs some of the pixel calculations necessary for
polygon rendering at zoom level 17, then saves that information. This
makes the code slightly more efficient than recalculating from scratch
whenever the zoom level changes. This means that polygons only work in
an environment that has a GProjection capable of performing pixel

ebaku...@gmail.com (ebakunin) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:32:00 UT

Hi,

I have created a custom map meant for four zoom levels. It uses a
Euclidean projection. However, when I set the maximum number of zoom
levels less than 17 and add polygons the script breaks. I can't figure
out why this happens. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks a
lot.

Here's portions of the code I'm using. It works fine with max_zoom =

geocode...@gmail.com (geocodezip@gmail.com) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:44:52 UT

Look closer. I made at least 3 changes (I'm not sure which fixed it,
but I suspect the GXml.value):
1. GXml.value instead of the browser dependent nodeValue
var encodedPoints = GXml.value(pointsNode[0]);
var encodedPoints = pointsNode[0].childNodes[0].no deValue;
2. called parseInt on encodedZoomFactor

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll switch over to v2.

That didn't fix the problem however. I couldn't understand why yours
worked but mine didn't, so I tried copying the script from your site
to mine. That fixed it!!

Not entirely sure why, as it's the same. But i must have had some bad
