Re: [Google Maps API v3] Re: 2011/2/8 - New Release (Maps API 3.4)
Hi Abel,
Would you mind loading this WebGL test page?
http://learningwebgl.com/lessons/lesson01/index.html
This page does not use the Maps API, so it will help to distinguish WebGL
issues from Maps API issues. I have seen this hang on several Windows
machines.
Street View uses WebGL where available. In the last couple of days Chrome 9
released WebGL support. Unfortunately it appears WebGL causes some graphics
cards to hang.
Right now we're discussing with Chrome team how to proceed. I imagine in the
next few days either Chrome will disable WebGL for the affected graphics
cards, or we will disable WebGL in Street View until it stabilizes. In the
meantime you can apply one of the following workarounds:
1. If you are explicitly constructing the StreetViewPanorama, you can
include mode:html4 in the constructor options to disable WebGL. For
example
var panorama = new google.maps.StreetViewPanorama({mode:html4});
2. Or, ask affected users to include the command-line switch
--disable-webgl.
3. Or, ask affected users to switch browser.
Thanks,
Ben

Hi Chris -
We're having a strange problem with the v3.4 release. When I try to
open any page that uses the Streetview portion of the API it seems to
hang Chrome on some Windows PCs (but is OK with other browsers). For
example the sample map at:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/streetview-simple.html
causes problems (it just doesn't load at all, we just see a blank
page).
The reason I think it might be due to v3.4 is that when I grab the
page and explicitly set it back to v3.1 it works fine (v3.2 and 3.3
also have issues).
What's baffling is that on some PCs it's OK but others with seemly the
same setup have issues. I've tested using Win7, XP and Vista with the
latest version of Chrome and there doesn't seem to be any consistency
-- some machines/browsers are OK, some not. The only common thing is
that when we go back to v3.1 it's OK.
Also, we've only seen this with Chrome on a PC, other browsers are OK
and we haven't seen any issues Chrome on a Mac.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
- Abel

Hi all,
We're pleased to announce version 3.4 of the Maps API for JavaScript.
Firstly, a reminder that if you do not specify a minor version when
loading
the Maps API, you will automatically receive 3.4. Production applications
should always specify a minor version (v=3.2, v=3.3). Read more about
versioning here:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/basics.html...
Also, 3.1 will be unavailable from next week. If you currently load
v=3.1,
you will receive 3.2.
3.4 includes all changes for 3.3. You can see the full change log here:
http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/wiki/JavascriptMapsAPIv3Cha...
In this release:
* New hierarchical map type controls - they're touch-friendly!
* New logo (Issue 2574)
* MarkerShape.coord renamed to MarkerShape.coords to match HTML area
coords attribute
Some of you may have custom controls that are designed with a look and
feel
that match the 3.3 default Maps API map type controls. The 3.4 controls
are
a bit more complex to imitate so here is a demo page with some sample CSS
showing how to do this:
http://gmaps-samples-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/controls/index.html
Source:
http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-samples-v3/source/browse/trunk/control...
Enjoy!
Chris

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Advice on how its best to display large ammount of markers
Clustering is a good approach, but you can combine it with even more: a) Lightweight markers: my own implementationhttp://blog.martin-matysiak.de/2011/01/a-lightweight-marker-for-google-maps-the-simplemarker-class/only weighs 1 div node per marker in the DOM hierarchy. In comparison to the original google maps marker it saves a lot performance if you don't need all the features. b) MarkerManager: In the GMaps Utility Libraryhttp://code.google.com/p/gmaps-utility-library-dev/ there is a class (called MarkerManager) which does more or less what you described in your last sentence: Markers that are out of the viewport will be temporarily removed from the map, thus saving even more DOM nodes. This plus clustering should be good enough for thousands of markers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Maps JavaScript API v3 group.

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Problem with markers on StreetView
Generally i'm finding that if you select Street View from any infowindow and then click the marker in Street View (or a sidebar) link that the map returns to map view from Street View and the infowindow doesn't size itself correctly - the infowindow is not tall enough for the content.

It's an address geocoder, not a country finder. Neither Alabama nor Albania are addresses, so it's stretching things a bit to rely on what might be returned.

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Opening the map focussing on a country using the country code
Rossko, So according to you this is one of the limits of Google Maps API. From the answer of Chris Broadfoot I had the impression it would be possible. Furthermore, in case the code is also applying to regions in other countries you get multiple results. Only when it concerns a state in the US the geocoder has only one result. Strange. I would like to have an answer from one of the Google employees as I believe that the Google Maps API is more than a mere street address geoder as you stated. Gerrit.

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Advice on how its best to display large ammount of markers
Hi. I developed the map here: http://planefinder.net/ The map uses a custom tile layer instead of markers and performed well when tested under development, but once it went live we had problems - the server just couldn't handle the load! The map displays from a few hundred to over a thousand planes and updates every 30 seconds, with more than a few users online there were just too many requests for tiles and other data. I'm now perfecting the update which uses custom tiles for zoom levels 0 to 3 and from zoom level 4 and higher it uses a (very) lightweight marker. So the custom tile layer's getTile() method either: 1) Requests a custom tile for zoom levels 0 to 3 (the server can handle this). or 2) Uses a 1 pixel square transparent PNG for tiles at zoom levels 4 and higher and then creates a table of planes that are within the tile's bounds and adds those plane's markers to the map if not already added. A single map mousemove event listener detects which tile the mouse is currently over and whereabouts on the tile the mouse is positioned. The code then iterates through the table of planes on that tile and generates mouseover and mouseout events. Finally a map idle event listener detects which markers are added to the map but not within the map's current bounds (plus a bit of padding) and removes those markers from the map. The new map loads data for all planes when it loads and then every 30 seconds - so there's no ongoing requests to the server for plane data as tiles are loaded. It's seems to work fine and performance is good - even with nearly a thousand planes visible the map is still useable in most browsers (IE as always not a great performer LOL). I'll not post a link to the new under development map here but if you'd like to take a look at it then get in touch and i'll send you a link. Martin.

[Google Maps API v3] Pan and Zoom Animation
Hi, I have a website called kindlemap.net. The problem I have is that because the screen update is slow (approx 1 second) on a Kindle 3 what happens is when you use the pan or the zoom control it is very, very slow. If you have a Kindle 3 you will see what I mean. I read about disabling the animation by use of map.setCenter() and I have a page at www.kindlemap.net/test.htm which works OK for panning. But still the zoom does the animation which is slow. It would be nice to be able to just disable animation on the map with a simple boolean. As you can see from the test.htm I had to move the controls off the map to eliminate the pan animate slowness. But the zoom is still a problem. Any ideas or possibly a change request.

Hi Abel,
Would you mind loading this WebGL test
page?http://learningwebgl.com/lessons/lesson01/index.html
This page does not use the Maps API, so it will help to distinguish WebGL
issues from Maps API issues. I have seen this hang on several Windows
machines.
Street View uses WebGL where available. In the last couple of days Chrome 9
released WebGL support. Unfortunately it appears WebGL causes some graphics
cards to hang.
Right now we're discussing with Chrome team how to proceed. I imagine in the
next few days either Chrome will disable WebGL for the affected graphics
cards, or we will disable WebGL in Street View until it stabilizes. In the
meantime you can apply one of the following workarounds:
1. If you are explicitly constructing the StreetViewPanorama, you can
include mode:html4 in the constructor options to disable WebGL. For
example
var panorama = new google.maps.StreetViewPanorama({mode:html4});
2. Or, ask affected users to include the command-line switch
--disable-webgl.
3. Or, ask affected users to switch browser.

Hi Chris -
We're having a strange problem with the v3.4 release. When I try to
open any page that uses the Streetview portion of the API it seems to
hang Chrome on some Windows PCs (but is OK with other browsers). For
example the sample map at:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/st...
causes problems (it just doesn't load at all, we just see a blank
page).
The reason I think it might be due to v3.4 is that when I grab the
page and explicitly set it back to v3.1 it works fine (v3.2 and 3.3
also have issues).
What's baffling is that on some PCs it's OK but others with seemly the
same setup have issues. I've tested using Win7, XP and Vista with the
latest version of Chrome and there doesn't seem to be any consistency
-- some machines/browsers are OK, some not. The only common thing is
that when we go back to v3.1 it's OK.
Also, we've only seen this with Chrome on a PC, other browsers are OK
and we haven't seen any issues Chrome on a Mac.
Any thoughts?

Hi all,
We're pleased to announce version 3.4 of the Maps API for JavaScript.
Firstly, a reminder that if you do not specify a minor version when
loading
the Maps API, you will automatically receive 3.4. Production applications
should always specify a minor version (v=3.2, v=3.3). Read more about
versioning here:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/basics.html...
Also, 3.1 will be unavailable from next week. If you currently load
v=3.1,
you will receive 3.2.
3.4 includes all changes for 3.3. You can see the full change log here:
http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/wiki/JavascriptMapsAPIv3Cha...
In this release:
* New hierarchical map type controls - they're touch-friendly!
* New logo (Issue 2574)
* MarkerShape.coord renamed to MarkerShape.coords to match HTML area
coords attribute
Some of you may have custom controls that are designed with a look and
feel
that match the 3.3 default Maps API map type controls. The 3.4 controls
are
a bit more complex to imitate so here is a demo page with some sample CSS
showing how to do this:
http://gmaps-samples-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/controls/index.html
