For kml there are two options I know of: 1. use a third party parser (geoxml3 is the only one I know of), that renders the kml as "normal" maps markers, polylines and polygons and allows you to access them externally. 2. import the kml into fusion tables, code GViz queries to simulate the behavior of the fusion tables click events.

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Load Map to floating div
ok __everything__ I am writing in this reply is "for the other interested
readers"
I eventually managed to figure this out and it can be done quite easily.
main points of interest
1. All of my divs (everywhere) are specified with percentages %
2. Basically my page layout has a jquery menu system in a sidebar div on the
left which allows users to select
what gets shown in the content area div to the right
3. I simply used a jquery .load('myhtmlfile') to load an html file which
covered nearly all of my requirements except for the google map
4. So my google map script is in a separate html file and the jquery
.load('gmapfile.html') didn't work this was the problem ie.
$(#ldmaplink).click( function() {
$('#mycontentarea').load('mygmapsrcfile.html');
});
doesn't work, for whatever reason
What did work for me was using an iframe and i simply did it like this
$("#ldmaplink").click( function() {
document.getElementById('mycontentarea').innerHTML = ';'
});

ping this thread and I will be happy to help out as
best I canI ain't a big expert or nuthin' just sayin'

Re: [Google Maps API v3] Display only certain KML features by attributes
Parsing the KML is to do with trying to hide the data in the KML right? Not to do with Fusion Tables or only showing certain KML features by attributes. I am not too worried about hiding the KMLs, if somebody wants to go through all my cryptic code and find the location and file name of my KMLs and download them then fair play to them, it won't be so easy and they will not get the updates automatically, besides the HTML in all of my balloons links back to my site anyway. My main issue is whether or not there is a way to display only certain KML features by attributes, aside from the fusion table method. If i have to go the Fusion table route then it is an option, as long as there is a way to write custom HTML balloons into the Fusion table like there is with KMLs. But thanks for the link on parsing the KML, I will definitely look into that as an option in the long run. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.

change the onclick of your Find button to call the calcRoute()

[Google Maps API v3] Get direction to a marker or geocode response from current location
Hi, Slowly I drag myself toward the final product... So, I've built the layers, markers, info windows (all Fusion Tables) and the various clever functionality (geolocating, geocoding and calculation directions). Works a dream, but... I can't hook the final bit up.

Here is what I've got so far: http://www.satpacktravel.com/API/api_a6.html It's a bit confused because, to get a working calcRoute I've copied and pasted an API example of US locations. I obviously don't want them to the be the destination, I want the destination to be dynamic, based upon a) or b) above. Have hunted around for examples of this and can't find any. If this is too big an ask for free help, I would consider 'donating' to someone who can help me put this to bed (I'm sure to have a few more questions afterwards but can't find to many API v3 consultancies in Johannesburg!

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

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Remove hotels from overlay
Ok, I concede that you may be right and it's needed. But this necessity has consequences regarding the possibilities of what can be done and what cannot be done with styled maps. For convenience and that you know what I'm talking about I'll call this necessity the type sophism. As I previously said styled maps are not very sophisticated and have many bugs, it turns out that they are even lesser sophisticated. Let's assume I want to create a map where it is possible to toggle the 'labels' and to toggle a few subcategories of the 'pois' indepantently from each other. I've had serious problems to do that, and it didn't take long that I found a further bug. If you're interested you can read the report and play around with the example http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=3587&sort=-id&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Introduced%20Fixed%20Summary%20Internal%20Stars Assumed that the type sophism exists then it turns out that this intention is impossible. (As I think now it's logically and syntactically impossible, i.e. there is no possible unambiguous syntax to do that.) What and where is the type sophism? The layers consist of a series of overlays that are grouped into different types. Some overlays belong to more than one type. However, they are distinguishable by type categories. The classification of elementType and featureType makes it possible to distinguish these different layer groups and display them indepantently from each other. But as soon as the classification itself mingles the groups they are no more distinguishable. And this is what the type sophism does. It assumes that each group belongs in some way to the other. The API is no more able to assign the types to the particular groups. Even the syntax makes it impossible to distinguish the groups clearly. As a consequence of the type sophism I also have to concede that the workaround, which is mentioned in the bug report, is invalid and cannot be replaced by a valid one, i.e. it is irreparable invalid, because the API doesn't allow what I intended to do. It's one more restriction to be added to many existing others. Not sure if this was intended, though.

[Google Maps API v3] Re: How to convert "world coordinates" given by fromLatLngToPoint() to metrуs
These links are very useful. Thank you. Now I have new task: to find out is the point(s) with given coordinates located within five kilometers (it can be any given distance) of the route (I have spherical coordinates of the vertices of the route's polyline)? It's possible to use algorithms from links you mentioned for finding answer for the given point and every vertice of the polyline. But what about segments between the vertices. I can use several formulas from a school course in Euclidean geometry to process segments and vertices of the route's polyline. But to use them spherical coordinates have to be translated to 2D coordinate system. As far as I understand, google.maps.Projection performs this translation, doesn't it? In this case I need to know two characteristics of the projection: - the scale - spherical coordinates of the origin Do you know how to find out values of these characteristics? Or may be you could offer another way of solving the task. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
