Re: [Google Maps API v3] Re: loading kml and fusion tables layers using JSON

[Chris Broadfoot]

Correct. setMap(undefined) will act the same as setMap(null) even though
this is undocumented behaviour.

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Using the places library without a map on the same page

[Johannes Schill]

Hi Thor!

Thanks for your quick reply. To rephrase: we're using a map, but its
not shown until the user clicks on a search result from the
autocomplete feature. I'll double-check the terms. Isnt it possible to
manually feed the Autocomplete with manually set bounds instead of the
map.getBounds()?

I tried another approach, using the webservice[4] instead, but it
didnt work as I expected; "debaser stockholm" gave me 3 hits,
"stockholm debaser" 1 hit, "debaser" 0 hits. I only included the
required parameters to make the search as world-wide  as possible. Is
it a bit shaky or is that expected?

[4] http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/places/autocomplete.html

Thanks again and hi from Sweden.

Johannes

Re: [Google Maps API v3] Marker V3 and Draggable Marker V3 did not appear on my browser.

[Chris Broadfoot]

What browser and operating system are you using? Can you replicate this on
another computer? Can you take a screenshot, please?

Can you see the marker in the page you linked? If so, could you please link
to your own test/demo pages that you're having troubles with.

Re: [Google Maps API v3] Using V3 with Mapstraction

[Chris Broadfoot]

As far as I know Mapstraction supports V3.

You need to specify the sensor parameter when loading with the AJAX loader:

google.load("maps","3", {"other_params":"sensor=true_or_false"});

Loading the script from
https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true_or_false should work, so I'm
going to have to ask you to get support from Mapstraction on this one.

[Google Maps API v3] Marker V3 and Draggable Marker V3 did not appear on my browser.

[jesar james]

Hello, I'm a noob in using/developing Google Maps JavaScript API v3.
I'm having a problem with my test/demo pages
when it comes to the Marker V3 and Draggable Marker V3. They didn't
appear on any of my test/demo pages.
I even tried copying the codes from

but still, no
Marker/Draggable Marker was displayed. What could I have been doing
wrong? Why do such things happen?

Re: [Google Maps API v3] Load saved polyline in Directions service

[Chris Broadfoot]

Can I suggest another solution that may be more in line with our terms of

Consider saving the waypoints in your database, and when you want to display
them again, send off a request again to the DirectionsService.

You'll also notice this will likely conform better to our terms of service.

The MapLabel library that Luke is talking about won't do exactly what you
want - it's designed to place labels similar to default Google map labels -
such that they are rendered at the same pixel size regardless of zoom level.
It'd certainly be possible to modify to do what you want, though.

Hey guys,

Thank you. I'll take a look at the youtube link!

Actually, I found a viable plug-in called EInsert.  However, it only works
for the depreciated V2.  But I will attempt to refactor it for V3.

Thanks again.

[Google Maps API v3] Maps API v3.2 being retired (was: 2011/5/7 - New Release (3.5))

[Chris Broadfoot (Google Employee)]

Just to follow up on my mail from a couple weeks ago (copied below), we'll
be retiring v3.2 today.

In accordance with our versioning strategy, any sites requesting version 3.2
will receive 3.3 instead (the new frozen version).

I'll take this as an opportunity to remind you to always test your map
against nightly version (now 3.5) so that we can catch any issues early in
the release cycle.

To: "google-maps-js-api-v3@googlegroups.com" <
google-maps-js-api-v3@googlegroups.com>


Hi all,

We're pleased to announce version 3.5 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 3.5. Production applications
should always specify a minor version (v=3.3, v=3.4). Read more about
versioning here:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/basics.html#Versioning

We plan to retire 3.2 on May 15, and applications that request 3.2 will
receive 3.3. At this time, 3.3 will be frozen, and no further code changes
will be made.

3.5 includes all changes for 3.4. You can see the full change log here:
http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/wiki/JavascriptMapsAPIv3Changelog

This release is essentially identical to the latest 3.4 release, and no
features have been added.

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Using the places library without a map on the same page

[Thor Mitchell (Google Employee)]

Hi Johannes,

As part of the Maps API, the Places library is covered by the Maps API Terms 
of Service, which does require it be used in conjunction with a map. This 
does not mean you must always pass in a map bounds when using Autocomplete, 
but it does mean that your app must use a map in some way, even if it's just 
a small thumbnail map of the Place selected by the user using Autocomplete.

With regards to why the establishments are not shown, in the absence of 
bounds to constrain the predictions made by Autocomplete, the geocode 
matches outrank the establishment matches, thus being returned in preference 
to establishments.

Many thanks,

Thor.

Re: [Google Maps API v3] color coded regions dynamic report kmllayer

[geo12345]

There doesn't seem to be much up-take in my question so maybe I should 
re-phrase:

I'm using precooked colored kml layers (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, 
indigo, violet) because parsing the polygon data on the browser would take 
forever
the polygon data is approx 30 MB in total.

This has the limitation that we can't dynamically color-code the polygons. 
We can't dynamically change the balloon text. 

Maybe if the polygon data were much smaller eg 60 KB it would be possible to 
handle client side using eg geoxml3 

My question is: has anyone else taken the approach of predefining a limited 
set of colored kml layers and rendering reports with this set of regions?

Or would an alternative be to simplify the polygon shapes such that they are 
much smaller and handle client side with the advantage of changing the 
balloon text on the fly?

I am interested to hear what existing successful projects have done

[Google Maps API v3] Not all Destinations are being processed

[jimmyt1988]

function priceJourney(){
var origin1 = new google.maps.LatLng(51.289719,-0.722829);
var destinationA = "Hayling Island, Beach Road, South Hayling";
var destinationB = "Uk, 13 Lynwood Drive, Mytchett, England";

var service = new google.maps.DistanceMatrixService();
service.getDistanceMatrix(
  {
origins: [origin1],
destinations: [destinationA, destinationB],
travelMode: google.maps.TravelMode.DRIVING,
unitSystem: google.maps.UnitSystem.IMPERIAL,

  }, callback);

function callback(response, status) {

  if (status == google.maps.DistanceMatrixStatus.OK) {
var origins = response.originAddresses;
var destinations = response.destinationAddresses;

for (var i = 0; i < origins.length; i++) {
  var results = response.rows[i].elements;
  for (var j = 0; j < results.length; j++) {
var element = results[j];
var distance = element.distance.text;
var duration = element.duration.text;

}
  }

alert(element + "" + distance + "" + duration +

$('priceOfJourney').html(element + "" + distance + "" + duration + "" + from + "" + to);

The alert comes out with:

Any ideas why the destinations aren't all being processed?

Re: [Google Maps API v3] Re: struggling to combine detecting users geolocation on a map & some geoxml3

[Christopher Watson]

hi larry,

was hoping that the two wouldnt interfere with each other, so pleased that
they should work together. it was pretty slow to load finding the users
location. think i'd just made a mess merging the codes.

redone 'cleaner' merge as it were and its pretty quick asking for the users
location to share.  http://creativemaps.vism.ag/locationdev1.htm

the geolocation is fine, but in my error messages from testing on comp, not
sure how to fix these errors? are they simple? i edited out where it was
using latlng to get location, do i need to do it elsewhere?


Message: 'bmi_load' is undefined

I went searching for a map center link, used a span that i found in the
forum, but not working, might be one of these error messages. I know there
are many little differences between the merging of the pages that could be
causing the problems. like i think the working geoxml3 uses var map = null
and it isnt here in the geolocation. would geolocation be fine if i used the
null? is this causing problems?

hope you can help.

[Google Maps API v3] Re: support for gx:track in google maps and KmlLayer

[Emanuele Ziglioli]

Hi again,

I've found the list of supported kml elements in Google Maps:

http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/mapsSupport.html
http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/kmlelementsinmaps.html

It confirms the lack of support for gx:track.

[Google Maps API v3] support for gx:track in google maps and KmlLayer

[Emanuele Ziglioli]

Hi,

I've created a kml file containing gx:track and tried to open it in Google 
Maps.
No track was displayed. Are there plans to support that extension?

Furthermore, what's really missing in Google Maps is the time domain, 
Markers don't have a timestamp property so it's impossible to add a time 
slider to Maps. Is there anything out there that could provide that 
functionality?
I know I could use the Earth plugin but that's not available on Macs or 
mobile devices!

Thanks,
Emanuele Ziglioli

[Google Maps API v3] Using the places library without a map on the same page

[Johannes Schill]

Hello,

Is it possible to use the Places library - the autocomplete feature[1]
without having a map on the same page? Im trying to follow the
example[2] but when i remove the map - and the code related to the map
- the autocomplete stops showing "establishments" and only "geocodes"
are being included in the result. Maybe my default bounds are bad in
my javascript[3]?

It may just be a no-op. The code is basically doing this:

overlay.setMap( undefined );

That may (the docs don't say) be treated the same as:

overlay.setMap( null );

So it would remove the overlay from a map if it's on one, or do nothing if
it's not. (The docs don't make this clear either, but I suspect this isn't
treated as an error.)

Of course, that's not what the OP wants to have happen - and you already
showed *why* map is undefined - but it would explain the lack of a JS error.

Chris and I are working on a MapLabel library that should be released soon

[Google Maps API v3] Re: How can I write or etch text directly onto a map? Or, I want to etch text onto a zip code region.

Since I just need the numbers, I could make png images for numbers 0-9.  
Then, draw the zip code using those images.  The question then becomes how 
can i overlay an image onto a map???

[Google Maps API v3] Re: KML bounds not being returned

[Elizabeth Dobbins]

Turns out the KML had  section that conflicts with the Map's
ability to change the Viewport when the KML layer is added to the
map.  If I remove the  section from the KML,
"stnLayer.preserveViewport = 0;" works as expected.

I discovered this by trial and error.  I did not see this documented
anywhere.  The closest documentation is
http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/kmlelementsinmaps.html,
where it says Camera is not supported.

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Green markers with markermanager

[rich]

Thanks rossko. I tried adding parseFloat. This had no affect on the
green markers.

Here are two screenshots to compare green markers on load. Once the
markers are green, zooming or changing the map will cause them to
update to the correct color. Seems like the neon green markers only
show on the first load.

[Google Maps API v3] How can I write or etch text directly onto a map? Or, I want to etch text onto a zip code region.

[trouble]

Hello,

I am having much difficulty here.  If you look at this example from Google's 
Demo gallery, 
http://www.usnaviguide.com/v3maps/WhatZipCode.htm?lat=37&lng=-122, you'll 
see that the zip code boundary is drawn and the zip code is displayed within 
this boundary in large size font and adjusts proportionally with zooming.  
Now, having talked with the author of the demo, and analyzing the code, he 
is using an image overlay.  Now, I don't think he understood me, for I was 
asking him how he got the zip code displayed on the zip code boundary.  I'm 
not sure if he has a database of images which store each one as it's own 
entity, thus the "95065" zip code in his example is part of the image he 
receives from the server.

My problem, then, is a little different.  I'm trying to figure out how to 
overlay text or, perhaps an on-the-fly image of the text in javascript, if 
such a thing is possible.

Thank you for any help.

[Google Maps API v3] Query Fusion Table

[Alan Wheeler]

I am trying to query a fusion table (862420). This table has a column of kml 
data named geometry and a text column named "trap" which holds the trap 
name. I just want a simple query to highlight a single trap location. In 
this example it is "A".

I am using the following query function


var trap_layer = new google.maps.FusionTablesLayer({
  query: {
select: 'geometry',
from: '862420',
where: 'trap = A'


The problem is this returns all traps and I do not understand what is wrong. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If mapstraction is written for v2, you either need to use v2 or you
need to port mapstraction to v3 (or find someone else that has already
done so...).

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Calculate heading to the marker in street view

Hello,

Did you figure this out?  I'm trying to do the same thing...center the
streetview on the marker, not on the street.

Thank you for any input.

[Google Maps API v3] geocode for some 300 addresses

[駅網]

When I enter from browser it woks perfectly with or without language/
region attributes.

##http://maps.google.co.jp/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=
%E5%A4%A7%E9%98%AA%E5%B8%82%E4%B8%AD%E5%A4%AE%E5%8C%BA%E6%97%A5%E6%9C
%AC%E6%A9%8B1-16-14&sensor=false&language=ja®ion=Japan

Then with my php script rewrote from API V2 offered at:
http://code.google.com/intl/ja/apis/maps/articles/phpsqlgeocode.html

This part fails to pass.
$xml = simplexml_load_string($request_url) or die ("cannot load");

When debugging, look into $request_url, the value of it is what I've
pasted above which is Okay
for browser access to get XML type response.
Searching around posts of this discussion group,  I've tried also,

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement(file_get_contents($request_url));
This also doesn't work for me. If it is working for you let me know.

Any simple mistake do I have?
Thank you.

[Google Maps API v3] Geo-coding API Issue

[Laura A.]

Here’s the scoop:

We are building a dealer locater for a client of ours. During testing
we discovered that every call to the Google geo-coding API is
returning a “QUERY_LIMIT_REACHED”

It seems that our client’s prior setup has upset Google and it is now
denying all requests from OpusRoofBlanket.com. According to our Tech
team, the former system was reaching out for the requested zip code on
every page load, and each of those would be considered a query.  Under
the current API license that Google allows you to use for free, you
cannot exceed 2,500 queries.

So, here’s the quote from our Tech guy:

“In my searches, I found that the requests worked fine if done on the
local site. It is only on the live site this issue is occurring. After
further review of the Google Geocoding API, it is my belief that
Google has done one of a few possible items:

A) Google blocked all access to the GeoCoding API From the Opus
roofing site.

B) Lowered the max limit from 2,500 Per day for the opus site (This is
in the API info).

C) Increased the minimum amount of time between requests (IE: Instead
of one call per minute, One Call Per Hour, Etc)”

He also has this to say:

“Every call to Google’s geocoding API (Part of Google Maps) is failing
with an error of ‘QUERY_LIMIT_REACHED’. The system is using the v3
API, querying 
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?sensor=false&address=X
Where  is the zip code to search. Currently, there should be no
calls to the API other than 3 sections of the site. The first is the
admin, the second is http://opusroofblanket.com/dealers (Built by RCI
to replace the original) and the third (The original locator) is
http://opusroofblanket.com/dealer-locator/ .Both of these are
currently not publicly available so there should be no reason for the
limit error to occur. On a log of the system, there has been one call
to the API in the past 5 days.

The only thing I can conclude is the the opus site has been locked
from using the geo-coding API in general.
If so, we need to know why this was and what we can do to resolve it.

The new system is set up so that it stores the details for searched
zips into the database so only one call will happen. When running on a
development server, the system works fine and now errors are
returned.”


We appreciate any help and feedback that anybody can supply, so that
we may resolve this issue for our client.

THANKS!

[Google Maps API v3] Load saved polyline in Directions service

[YoSeQuienSoy]

In my app i decode the polyline obtained from directions service and
save it in a GIS. What i want to do is load the polyline from database
and use directions services so I can modify my saved polyline with the
directions services assistant (fit polyline on street)

I think that maybe can be done saving in the DB the JSON object
created by direction services, then when I need to modify it, do a
request to directions services and replace the response with the saved
JSON object.

Anyone have do something like that or have a better way?

[Google Maps API v3] MarkerImage and canvas

[DreamFalcon]

Hi,
I'm trying to draw the markers on the canvas for faster drawing.
But if I use the scaledSize option on the marker, no canvas is
created.

My code:

var icon_Size= 100;
var resize = 50; //50% of icon_Size

function createSite(point, site) {

var iconSize2=icon_Size * (resize/100);
var icon = new google.maps.MarkerImage('image.png',
new google.maps.Size(iconSize2, iconSize2),
new google.maps.Point(0,0), //origin
   new google.maps.Point(iconSize2/2,iconSize2/2), //
anchor
  new google.maps.Size(iconSize2, iconSize2) //scaledSize
);

var shape = {
coord: [1, 1, 1, iconSize2, iconSize2, iconSize2, iconSize2 , 
1,1,
1],
type: 'poly'
};
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({

var name = site.site_name;

What is 'geoXml'?  Did you mean your geoXmlLayer object, that should
have a .docs[0] array property.
I expect your browser error messages should have helped point to this

   "formatted_address": "Tel Aviv, Israel",
"address_components": [ {
  "long_name": "Tel Aviv",
  "short_name": "Tel Aviv",
  "types": [ "locality", "political" ]
}, {

"geometry": {
  "location": {
"lat": 32.0661570,
"lng": 34.7778210
  },
  "location_type": "APPROXIMATE",

That is probably why it is giving the "location_type": "APPROXIMATE".
and it looks like it is giving you Tel Aviv, Israel for all the
responses.

Note that the google maps APIs do not contain as much data as google
maps for contractual reasons.

[Google Maps API v3] Places autocomplete: Is it possible to make the autocomplete results go up instead of down?

[Nicolas Hinze]

Hi,
 
started playing around with the new places autocomplete feature. Is it 
possible to have the autocomplete results go up instead of down? I would 
like to be able to do this, so I can place the search box at the bottom of 
the map. I'm essentially trying to get back the google search bar feature we 
lost from V2.
 
Thanks,
 
Nick,

[Google Maps API v3] Re: InfoWindow size

[THE_AI]

I'm starting to be a little bit confused about all that.
I'm looking at this:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=coffee&aq=&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=33.29802,121.552734&ie=UTF8&hq=coffee&hnear=&ll=40.313043,-95.712891&spn=31.906373,121.552734&z=4&iwloc=A

At the bottom of this infoWindow we have few buttons. If we click on
search nearby - a form appears, but no scroll bars are to be seen in
the infowindow :)))

What should my approach be to achieve the same?

Right now I'm injecting my navigation at the bottom of the infowindow,
because it is dynamically created and is a dom node. If I try to use
setContent to add it then in the infowindow I see [HtmlElmen ...].
(most probably because the already existing content for the infowindow
is just a string???)

Something more - in my case when you click on get Directions -> the
form shows, but it also creates a bigger scrollbar - with the google
example - the form just magically appears and the infoWindow just
becomes bigger.

That's the wrong thing to do, because getBounds() and fitBounds()
behave differently. In particular, it's been pointed out in the group
that fitBounds() adds a small buffer and can result in a different
zoom to what is expected. Thus you may find that if you "fit" bounds
you have "got" the zoom may be different.

The best way of ensuring the map looks similar is to use the centre
and the zoom -- which also reduces the length of the url because you
only need one location and not two.

[Google Maps API v3] Re : Re: Re : Re: Re : Re: Differences between fitBounds and getBounds

[Web-ID]

Parsing URL in order to obtain values is not difficult ...

I'd just want to export coordinates from a map (by getBounds() of Map Class) 
and import these coordinates in another map of another page.

In my script I create my URL from my first map, but in my second map the 
viewport is no exactly the same because of differences between getBounds and 
fitBounds as explain by Larry ...

So I'm searching a method which can display coordinates exported by the 
getBounds() method.

Thanks for your comments !

Write some code that examines the querystring (not a maps function)
http://www.google.com/search?q=javascript+querystring

Then use the numbers you have found to fitBounds your map.

You'll probably want a default action in case there are no parameters

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Marker cursor does not change

[Rossko]

> That seems to work. What does this undocumented option mean?

aha ... it is documented in the English docs.
Says
"Optimization renders many markers as a single static element.
Optimized rendering is enabled by default. Disable optimized rendering
for animated GIFs or PNGs, or when each marker must be rendered as a
separate DOM element (advanced usage only)."

See
http://groups.google.com/group/google-maps-js-api-v3/browse_thread/thread/712af9174695ec91/0ee5f885b8db2ccb?lnk=gst&q=optimized#0ee5f885b8db2ccb
for more background.

I suspect you must either use optimized:false  -or- use your own
mouseover/mouseout listeners to get the effect you want.

Hi,

Can you please update the Versioning documentation at

I assume that v3.5 is now the nightly version, and v3.4 is feature
stable?

Thanks,

[Google Maps API v3] spatial markers in streetview panorama possible?

Hello,

have tried to set custom markers in a streetview panorama. Works fine.
Now I'm curious if it is possible to create markers (and polylines/
polygons) with different altitudes. This would be very cool.

[Google Maps API v3] Newbie driving directions

[RickZim]

I'm looking for simple sample code where there is a fixed destination (To:) 
and a variable From: so customers can simply enter the From: address.
The simple Google embed code from Google maps is not suitable as there is 
too much ancillary information displayed.
I cannot see any basic direction code examples and as a newbie have no idea 
where to start.
