Re: [Google Maps API v3] Re: 2011/8/17 - New Release (3.6)

2011-09-05 Thread Ben Appleton
In version 3.4 on March 2nd we released Canvas markers:
http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/wiki/JavascriptMapsAPIv3Changelog
Canvas supports about 10 times more markers than the non-optimized markers,
addressing a long-standing complaint that our old markers were very slow.

Unfortunately we can't keep old API versions around forever because the
private HTTP interfaces used by Google Maps API change over time. Instead we
support 3 versions in parallel, so that sites can test and upgrade on their
own timetable.

Re: [Google Maps API v3] Re: 2011/8/17 - New Release (3.6)

2011-09-02 Thread Ben Appleton
The problem manifests in IE7/8, in which markers are rendered as images. The
IE debugger claims that http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/tsunami/style.css has
set a margin of 10px on all images, which causes the strange rendering that
you observe.

I suggest using a class to style your images. That avoids your page's
styling affecting the Maps API's rendering.

Cheers

The documentation is now correct.

+ Documentation will always reflect the nightly (development) version.
However, for each
+ version, we will offer a separately maintained reference.
+
+* Nightly Version (3.6) Reference (Current)
+* Release Version (3.5) Reference (Feature-Stable)
+* Release Version (3.4) Reference (Frozen)
+* Versions 3.0 to 3.3 have been retired.

v3.6 is the nightly (development) version, not recommended for
"released" maps, only for development use and verifying your map is
future proof.

I've recognized the same problem. Either 3.6 is already feature stable
and this information wasn't published, or there's some bug in the
Google loader - or the 3.6 was marked internally as stable and isn't
so... Because if I tell the Google Loader to load version 3, I get
3.6.1.

By the way, I had one problem with 3.6: today I was surprised, that in
IE9 the street names were far too small to read because formerly it
worked well in all browsers. I then started playing around with
loading different API versions and 3.4 as well as 3.5 worked
perfectly. After that, I was tryting 3.6 a last time - and suddenly it
worked also perfectly. So at the end, I didn't change anything of my
original code. Have anyone of you noticed a similar (strange)

2011-08-26 Thread Nathan Raley
On our application without the optimization set to false the markers flicker
with each update and is rather annoying, granted the fix is relatively
simple.  Without the optimization set to false and you are updating the
position of several markers in quick succession, you can sometimes barely
observe some of the markers as there appears to be more flicker than marker.

Not sure about what broke on Robert's.

This broke markers on two of our applications as well.  If Google is going 
to constantly change the API, can it please do it in a way that ensures 
compatibility?  The marker optimization is nice and all, but enabling, by 
default, a feature known to break marker rendering in IE?  This is 
troubling.  We can do without marker optimization, but we can't have our

Chris,

The behaviour seems to have changed in the past day or so. I'm now
seeing the full complement of business icons by default.

requests 3.3 what you get is 3.4

Can you provide a link to a map that demonstrates this? Or just a

... after some experimentation I've found that even after setting the
visibility of poi.business labels to "off" I am seeing some clickable
business icons. Setting it to "on" or "simplified" gives the more or

"off" by default in 3.6 and I'm seeing some clickable business icons

What are the criteria for determining which clickable business icons
are shown on the base map? In the downtown core of my town, only two
businesses are shown (both are pharmacies); there are no restaurants,
banks, grocery stories, coffee shops, etc. Not very useful.

Could you file a feature request, please?

Also, can you elaborate whether you'd like to use a custom overlay to
display the business information (like InfoBubble), or whether you want to
style the *content* of the InfoWindow?

Re: [Google Maps API v3] Re: 2011/8/17 - New Release (3.6)

2011-08-17 Thread Chris Broadfoot
Hi Simon,

Thanks! I was able to reproduce.

It turns out that particular airport is comprised of two geometries - the
runways are a "transit.station.airport", but the general area is a "poi"
(unfortunately the most specific category).

So, to disable the clickable icon, you'd need a style like

{
  featureType: "poi",
  elementType: "labels",
  stylers: [ { visibility: "off" } ]
}

(you could turn all the other poi categories back on, though)

It does seem wrong that there is a geometry (and label) only selectable
under a vague category, I will follow up on this.

Hope this helps,
Chris

2011-08-17 Thread sgiddings
Hi Chris,

Sorry, but had to lock my web site to version 3.5 to avoid the
problem.

However, the airport in question is :
- Aéroport de Dinard Pleurtuit Saint-Malo (DNR), 35730 Pleurtuit,
France
whose coordonates are
Lat : 48.58776739755567
Lng : -2.0796951962890944

Hope this helps with your investigations
Simon

[Google Maps API v3] Re: 2011/8/17 - New Release (3.6)

2011-08-17 Thread en4ce
i am a bit disappointed, the last version was released like 1 month
ago we "just" see what we had within the places api anyway? what?
sorry, but was this really so impotent?

i just wonder, where is earth, where is the youtube / wiki layer,
where is the webcam layer ?

:S

btw, this clickable icons are really not consistent if you cant style
the infowindow, the infowindows look like google, but our info windows
don't ... (same thing with panoramio anyway), of cause i can set this
function off but where is the point

2011-08-17 Thread sgiddings
Hi Chris,

Just been looking at this to be able to disable clicking on google
located pois.
Use the Styled Map Wizard to generate the required code and came
across a problem.

When turning off all visibility of airports ... they are still
displayed, labelled and clickable.
Here is the, generated, code :
{ featureType: "transit.station.airport", stylers: [ { visibility:
"off" }]}
I even tried :
{ featureType: "transit.station.airport", elementType: "labels",
stylers: [ { visibility: "off" }]}


Do I need to log a bug ?
