I am running into a slightly twisted knot of a question and I thought I would run this past people in the group.
I'm working on a "public radio roadtrip" app. I'm able to order stories, then display them on a map with information bubbles, and include embedded audio within these bubbles. I was thinking that, now that I have the stories in an order (either by date, or by a user-defined numerical order), that the next useful step would be to display walking or driving directions between these points. My first issue is that once the driving directions are displayed, they overwrite the information bubbles with references to points A and B, see: http://development.publicradioroadtrip.appspot.com/publicradioroadtrip/default/view_collection/364006 I wonder if the fact that the Google Maps API makes a call to an external server, this secondary process overwrites the map as it was rendered previously. The second issue that I'm wondering about is that, in order to incrementally put together these different functionality on the map, I wound up referencing a couple of different examples across the web. As a result, I wound up creating/using two different data types, one a two dimensional array, the second, an associative array. I wonder if I used one array, that I would be able to display the information bubbles while also displaying directions between the points. I tried re-writing the earlier part of the code to use the associative array. It's a bit of an undertaking to do this, and I've found that it's a bit beyond my knowledge (although, I'm sure if I worked at it long enough, I could do this. However, I don't know that using one associative array would necessarily resolve the issue of the information bubbles being overwritten. Any advice that you might have is appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
