I'm so sorry to bother everyone again, but can I request for an explanation of how to use different marker colors to show different classes of animals here, and maybe show a legend somewhere? I've edited Esa's code with what I have in mind.
// scans the results and calls makeMarker() ///////////////////////////////////////// Edit column names in this function /////////////////////// function populateMap(pnts){ var len = pnts.length; for(var i=0; i<len; i++){ var props = {}; props.position = pnts[i]; props.title = pnts[i].gsx$animal.$t; // animal column for marker tooltip props.sidebarItem = pnts[i].gsx$animal.$t; // datefound for sidebar label props.content = "<b>"+ pnts[i].gsx$animal.$t +"</b><p>" + pnts[i].gsx$datefound.$t + "<p>" + pnts[i].gsx$timefound. $t; // info window content ///////////////////////////////////////// Is this how we parse the value in the animal column and set a marker color? /////////////////////// if gsx$animal.t = "Reptile" pushpin.color = "green"; if gsx$animal.t = "Medium mammals" pushpin.color = "blue"; makeMarker(props); } map.fitBounds(markerBounds); } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
