[Google Maps API v3] 2011/4/14 - New Release

[Remi Grumeau]

After reading this blogpost, I would love to get a "diff" of Terms, to see all 
minor changes.

Re: [Google Maps API v3] Some info about license and conditions (restricted access, data storage...)

[Thor Mitchell (Google Employee)]

So just to add some colour, having been intimately involved in the 
redrafting of that clause, the revised wording is intended to address an 
ambiguity that we saw being increasingly exploited. Sites would make the 
base map publicly available, but only display data on the map once a user 
has logged in through a paywall, and then claim that no Premier license was 
needed because the map was publicly available for free. It was never our 
intention to permit this, but it was not previously clear in the old terms 
that the for-fee restriction relates to the whole application, and not just 
the map imagery. ie. such a workaround was never in the spirit of the old 
terms, so we ensured it was not in the letter of the new terms.

As for this specific case it comes down to exactly when you show a map, to 
who you show that map, and what that map contains. If the only map you show 
is the map that is freely accessible to the public, and all of the data that 
any user has added to the map (regardless of whether they paid or not) is 
freely available to all users on that map, then it's OK. However if any of 
the data added to the map is only visible to the people who uploaded it or 
to someone who has paid for the privilege then you need a Premier license. 
Also if you use a map application as the UI for adding data, and the map 
application that you present to paying users has more features or more data 
than the map presented to free users, then you need a Premier license.

Hope that helps,

Thor.

Re: [Google Maps API v3] Re: Polygons not rendering

[Chris Broadfoot]

Hi Jason,

The reason for this bug is that polylines and polygons can no longer share
the same MVCArray. This is a new limitation (one might call it a
regression), but easily mitigated in your case.

Here are a few workarounds:
- Apply the stroke to the polygon. A polygon with two vertices will be
rendered as a line.
- Use two separate MVCArrays

If you (or others) feel these workarounds aren't sufficient, please let me
know why.

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Tabbed Information in Info Balloons

[sb]

The APIv3 does not support tabbed infowindows according to the
reference.

The best example I can find is;
http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/infobubble/examples/example.html

>From a utility library;
http://code.google.com/p/google-maps-utility-library-v3/wiki/Libraries

If you find something better please let me know.

Thanks for that Andrew, as I mentioned it is best to check with your own

I wouldn't say that.  You can test it by pasting a sample URL into
your browser's address bar
http://www.testcentresearch.co.uk/phpsqlsearch_genxml.php?lat=54.876607&lng=-4.526367&radius=10&sel=ALL
IE displays XML.
FF doesn't - but if you use 'view source' you can see that XML is
being delivered to the browser.
It's the parsing that is the problem, note that your code has no error
detection or reporting (it's taken from an example, which isn't a
complete finished application).
I still think it is as simple as a blank line in front of the http://groups.google.com/group/google-maps-js-api-v3?hl=en.

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Animated Custom Map controls

[Esa]

API just appendChilds your control element to a control layer div when
you push it to map.controls. It also positions your control element
like

  {position: absolute; top: 0px; right; 0px; z-index: 10}

It repeats the positioning every now and then. I guess that is the
positioning that breaks your animation. Try wrapping your control in a
wrapper div and push the wrapper div into map.controls instead. So api
does not touch those properties of your control.

That is just a wild guess because you didn't provide any link.

I managed to do it by wrapping the information like so while the php ordered
the distance to xml:

Did this for each state:

$('#sidebar div.PA').wrapAll('');
$('#sidebar div.PA:first').before('Pennsylvania

[Google Maps API v3] Tabbed Information in Info Balloons

[Chandra Miller]

I have created a map and would like to further enhance it by adding
tabbed info balloons.  The map is located at 
http://156.42.96.39/alert/Google/rain.html
- source code is open to view.  The mapmakers are created from a .js
files and that is where the information on the balloons is coming from
currently.  I would like to add an addition tab below the current tab/
balloon where I could display graphs.  Rainfall last 24 hrs,
Hydrographs for stream gages, temperature trend over last 24 etc.  I
am not finding any examples online of how this is done.  Does anyone
have any ideas OR could you direct me somewhere to get help.  I have
already looked at places like http://econym.org.uk/gmap/ and all
Google Map Developer's Guide and nothing has anything this advanced on
it.
Thank you,
Chandra Miller

[Barry Hunter]

I suggest you ask a clairvoyant, not sure we can help you any further either.

(unless there is a clairvoyant among us?!)

Posting a link to your map, may help somewhat.

This is a v2 map.  v2 API has its own group at

Using Firebug reveals an XML parser error

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Adding Jquery UI slider custom control

[teknocreator]

Matt,

Yeah, it's not completely clear cut.  I don't know if this helps but I
got this Min value horizontal jQuery UI slider to work for setting/
getting our map's overlay opacity:

In the main javascript area:

// gets the current slider value and sets the Google Maps overlay's
opacity to it
// GMoverlay is a global ProjectedOverlay object

  function getsliderval() {
var op = $("#opslider").slider("value");
if (GMoverlay)
  GMoverlay.setOpacity(op);
$("#opacity").html(op+"%");   // This displays the opacity value
followed by the percent sign outside of the map area
  }

// slider function using jQuery UI; calls function above when the
value changes or slide is used

  $(function() {
 $( "#opslider" ).slider({
  range: "min",
  min: 0,
  max: 100,
  value: 50,
  slide: getsliderval,
  change: getsliderval
 });
 $( "#opacity" ).val( $( "#opslider").slider("value"));
  });

In the  section of the document:

  
  Opacity:  


Hope that helps.

[Google Maps API v3] Re: customs info windows

[Gary Little]

InfoBox has a setContent method for changing the content and a
setPosition method for changing the position.

So in your click handler for a marker you can get the position of the
marker (google.maps.Marker.getPosition()), then pass the result on to
the InfoBox to reposition it at the marker clicked. At the same time,
you can change the content of the InfoBox as well -- to content that
is dependent on the marker that is clicked.

I notice you're using a closure variable (point) to set the position
of the InfoBox. Problem is, you're defining that variable in a loop, a
big no-no. Instead, set the position parameter in boxOptions to
this.getPosition()

I also notice you're creating a new InfoBox every time a marker is
clicked. You should probably creating a single master InfoBox and keep
track of it with a global variable. You can then manipulate it in the
click handler.

[Google Maps API v3] Animated Custom Map controls

[en4ce]

Hi everyone,

i tried for quite some time now to animate custom map controls that
are anchored in the map it self with jquery

i tried several approaches like:

- bind the event to the element that is in the html file it self (a
div f.e.)
- bind the event to the created div before its anchored to the map
- bind the event via jquery after its anchored

but non of these methods did work, i was successful to change the
className of the element but that not enough for me

iam aware that there is a special jquery map js file but i don't want
to add extra 93kb to my pages for just one simple ".animate/fadeIn or
Out"

i thought of the method to just overlay the mapcontrols and not anchor
them but that brings several disadvantaged too

so basically my question is:

how i add jquery events to map controls that are anchored to the map
with this:
map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.RIGHT_BOTTOM].push(myelement);

thanks

[Google Maps API v3] customs info windows

[Lennart K]

Hi, all you keen developers! Can you give me some advice, please.
I've been trying for some time to creat customs info windows on my
maps. Finally i managed to get a window with the help of infobox.js,
in the google-maps-utility-library.
Now the problem: I've got a various numbers of markers diplaying om
the maps (recoveries of ringed birds) an the info windows contain info
about each recovery. clicking on a marker should open the window
connected with the marker just as default Google Maps InfoWindows do.
What happens now is that whichever marker I click on I get the same
information in the InfoBox all the time and the InfoBox is at the same
position.
So I have two questions:
1. Is it possible to position the InfoBox in connection with the
markers and if so, how do I do it?
2. How do I get the infobox to show the info for the marker I click
on?
I can tell that before I added the eventlistener 'click' all infoboxes
appeared on the map at different positions and thus covered most of
the map.
The maps can be found at
http://www.skof.se/fbo/arkiv/Aterfynd/min_phpsqlajax_map3.php
In order to make it display properly you may start at
http://www.skof.se/fbo/arkiv/Aterfynd/fynduttag.php and select a bird
species from the top left dropdown-menu. 'Tornfalk'  is a good species
to select :-)
Thank you in advance

Sorry to drag this thread up again, but it seems Luke's comments may
have been based on the new Terms -- which weren't published on 4
April, but which he would certainly have known were in the pipeline.

The new Term 9.1.1 says "Your Maps API Implementation must be
generally accessible to users without charge and must not require a
fee-based subscription or other fee-based restricted access. This rule
applies to Your Content and any other content in your Maps API
Implementation, whether Your Content or the other content is in
existence now or is added later."

I still maintain that the purchase of database space to allow more
content to be stored doesn't fall into the "Your Content" clause here.
There is no charge to access the map, or My Content in the map
(however much there is of My Content). There is a charge to store
data; once it's stored and *becomes* My Content [that is, "added
later"] then it's freely available to anyone who accesses the map.
That's compatible with the Terms.

As an aside, albeit related, I doubt that a UK court would allow
Google to restrict my trade in My Content anyway, since (a) Term 11.1
cedes all claim to it and (b) it is possible to provide a free
generally-accessible Implementation, while reasonably protecting my
investment in my data. It is likely that, under Term 19.3, the
sentence "This rule applies..." should be struck out in the United
Kingdom.

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Adding id to each image tile of an overlay

Thank you both for your replies.

@Greg, that's pretty much what I was looking for.  I had seen
something like this in some of Marcelo's examples on http://maps.forum.nu
but I wasn't sure if there was anything built directly into the api
itself to do this.  Either way though, this will work great.  Thanks
so much.

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Adding Jquery UI slider custom control

[Matt Alonso]

Sorry about that, it was in a dev staging environment and I did not
have a publicly accessible link I could send out.

I was able to figure out how to do this though...sort of.  I had been
trying to get the control to be added "automatically" as soon as
possible.  However, I relaxed that requirement b/c our implementation
will not be able to make sure of the slider until a user chooses a
variable and so I've just attached the slider creation into the events
that trigger overlays being put on the map.

For whatever it is worth, I included a couple snippets of code below.

Addition of the custom control (div):

var sliderContainer = document.createElement('DIV');
sliderContainer.innerHTML='';
controlDiv.appendChild(sliderContainer);


Code I want(ed) to be triggered automatically (Note: This code is in a
separate file):

$('div#sliderContainer').html('');
$(function() {
$( "div#sliderContainer" ).slider({
orientation: "vertical",
range: "min",
min: 0,
max: 100,
value: 60,
slide: function( event, ui ) {
self.overlay.setOpacity(ui.value)
}
});
sliderSet=1;
});



I guess I am also sort of curious to know how to (programmaticly)
determine that the map is loaded and modifications can be made to the
controls.

Thanks

Yes, we do that with the nightly version. If you require predictable

The v3 API is under active development.  The nightly version (no
version specified) can change at any time.  There are no guarantees
that anything will stay the same.  The documented functionality
shouldn't change, but that doesn't mean it won't.  They tend to push
out changes a day or two before announcing them.

It's not the same code. The layout table in the "incorrect" one
contains a lot of a code at the bottom, which stretches the table and
allows the map to be wide.

I get my (irregular) polygon boundary coordinates from others. They
are generated from Mapinfo and I've no idea which way they go; I don't
think they're consistent.

So: is there any way to turn off canvas rendering? And/or: does anyone
know how to determine which way a collection of points winds? (Just to
save me searching for an algorithm)

Polygons now use canvas. Canvas requires the lines go in different
directions to create a doughnut. I've doctored Larry's example here:

Just to reiterate my comments on the v2 group, we don't have an immediate 
plans to include ads in the map imagery of API applications. If we do decide 
to do so in future we will provide at least 90 days notice which will 
include information as to the type of ads and how they will look.

Note also that as a company Google has succeeded by delivering ads on other 
properties (such as search) that do not detract from the user experience, 
that are relevant, and that are useful. You can rest assured that the same 
principles will be carried over to any ads launched in the Maps API in the 
future.

Many thanks,

Thor.

Re: [Google Maps API v3] Programmatically moving forwards in Street View

You could figure it out based on the heading of the user's view vs their
bearing of linked panoramas.

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Polygons not rendering

[scotiasystems]

Perfect - looks like that was the problem, thanks!

I've changed strokeColor to be #99 and the circle appears again :-)

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Polygons not rendering

[sgiddings]

I have a similar problem.
I use two methods to obtain a shape with a hole in it.
The shape is either a donut or a polygon.
The problem is perfectly demonstrated here -

http://www.geocodezip.com/v3_polygon_example_donut.html

As you can see, the inner circle is no longer empty.
The same situation occurs using two polygons (inner and outer)

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Limit on the number of custom icons

[Chris Broadfoot (Google Employee)]

You may have more luck if you include the image files within a KMZ
file.

[Google Maps API v3] 2011/4/14 - New Release

[Chris Broadfoot (Google Employee)]

Hi all,

We recently pushed a new version of the Maps API. The major change in this
release is Polylines and Polygons are now rendered in Canvas. This provides
a significant speedup when adding many polys to a map. One known issue is
that polygons are hidden when strokeOpacity is zero. As a workaround, set
your strokeOpacity to something non-zero (say, 1e-32).

Polyline/Polygon stroke/fill colors now need to be specified in full hex
notation (i.e. '#FF', rather than 'red' or '#F00'). This has long been
the documented way of providing a color, but previously any CSS color
worked.

We also recently made changes to our terms of service. Please read this blog
post for a summary of the changes:
http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com/2011/04/updates-to-google-maps-apigoogle-earth.html

The changelog for this release is copied below. See the full changelog here:
http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/wiki/JavascriptMapsAPIv3Changelog

---

Resolved issues:
  * Fixed regression: Marker icon and shadow no longer transparent on IE6
  * Fixed: Markers no longer flicker on zoom
  * Fixed: Rendering of polygons across tile boundaries near the north/south
poles

Noticeable changes:
  * Polylines and Polygons now rendered in Canvas where possible.
  * LatLngs for events on polylines and polygon borders now snap to the
nearest point on the line.

---

Thanks,
Chris

[N.Aleksandrenko]

There is no limit i have seen. I have tested it with about 900+.
