[Google Maps API v3] Re: Won't find the town Orange in France?
Heads up, its me again...
I've done some further testing :
For a geocode request like this -
var Geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
GeoCoder.geocode( {'address' : Orange, France, 'region' : FR},
ProcessGeoCode);
I get the following result list :
France Service Rd, Bay Lake, Floride, États-Unis
Consulate General of France, 7657 Mt Carmel Dr, Orlando, Floride
32835-8164, États-Unis
France Pavilion, France Service Rd, Bay Lake, Floride 32836, États-
Unis
Something is seriously wrong here !

Pretty sure jesar is referring to the VERY new WebGL streetview that Google Maps website itself can use http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2011/10/step-inside-map-with-google-mapsgl.html (without webgl, google maps website uses a version most similar to the API v2 version - using flash) - so in answer to the original question, as its so new, its almost certainly not available in the API yet.

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Display only certain KML features by attributes
Webrider, I am adapting and playing with your excellent code for parsing kmls with very large polygons. I have a couple of questions for you: 1) I have noticed that for large polygons (i.e. ones with over 700 co-ordinate pairs) Mozilla FF cannot plot them correctly using your code. It is as if the array that holds the co-ordinates just stops filling once you get beyond 700 or so points, consequently those large polygons appear cut short on the map. This problem does not occur in IE or Chrome. 2) The great thing about your code is that the only slow part is the line xml = GXml.parse(xmlcontent);, which can take up to 20 seconds with 8 mgb KMLs. But once this has been called once, everything else is instantaneous, so you can traverse the stored XML document and show and hide different placemarks based on attributes within a split second. However I was trying to use it with multiple KML files, one storing polygon data and one storing point data. For some reason when I call the GXml.parse method a second time on a different KML file i.e. xml = GXml.parse(xmlcontent); xml2 = GXml.parse(xmlcontent2); The first xml file gets wiped out of memory, even though the second one has a different name (i.e. xml2). I get the error xml is undefined. Any idea why this is and how to get around it? One workaround is to simply store everything one needs in a single KML file, which is the solution I am working on now. Just wondering if there was another way. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Maps JavaScript API v3 group.

[Google Maps API v3] Re: infowindow behavior...
http://www.felixweb.it/italia2011f.html
Your variable 'map' is undeclared, may give different results in
different browsers (doesn't work at all in IE for me)
Your code
geocoder.geocode( { 'address': luogo}, function(results, status) {
data = riga[2];
Your variable 'riga' is undeclared, different browsers etc. Some will
assume you meant a global variable.
The geocode() call just fires off a request, your loop rolls on and
replaces 'riga' with the values for the next marker, fires off another
request, etc.
At the end of the loop, 'riga' is left at the last set of values.
Sometime later, the results come back from Google and the callback
function runs, using riga[2] ... which will be that for the last
marker.

Right now it appears that choosing a suggestion from the google.maps.places.Autocomplete popup by pressing the Enter key causes the input's form to be submitted. Is there a way to disable this behavior, or at least to distinguish between an Enter key press when the suggestion list is visible and when it's not visible? I see that the code is calling out to PlaceService.GetPlaceDetails before calling the place_changed event handler, so the latter isn't being triggered in the context of the keydown event, and the form submit event gets triggered before the remote call returns. (Also, I've noticed that the results are sometimes inconsistent between the geocoding API and the places search API.)

[Google Maps API v3] Multiple Locations based on SmartInfoWindow by Pamela Fox
Hi All,
I am having a bit of an issue with the some code that is based on
SmartInfoWindow by Pamela Fox. Hopefully someone will be able to help here?
Code can be found here at http://www.frogboxmarketing.com/code/
I have data.js working in the background supplying the long/lat data. How do
I have multiple locational data i.e. Descriptions/hyperlinks/photos? for the
different locations. Do I amend/duplicate the following code somehow?
function makeMarker(location) {
var markerOptions = {map: map, position: new
google.maps.LatLng(location.lat, location.lng)};
var marker = new google.maps.Marker(markerOptions);
markers.push(marker);
var content = 'div style=text-align: center; font-size:14px;

[Google Maps API v3] TOS question

There's something wrong with your PHP search app (phpsqlsearch_genxml.php), because it's returning an empty XML document.

[Google Maps API v3] Re: infowindow behavior...
Well you are using riga[2] and its value is the same at the time when
all geocoder callbacks are called.
I think you may want to try to add var to riga declaration, i.e. var
riga = listah[i].split(';');
Use Firebug in Chrome or Firefox to set breakpoints in your javascript
and you would be able to see values during execution.

But my question is something else: If I put 400 Markers (using the default, Google's marker image as an icon) then why is the map really fast? And if I use a custom icon, no matter how detailed, if it's transparent or not, it will be a 100 times slower. http://www.viewranger.com/kristof/p1.html(Google'sicon) http://www.viewranger.com/kristof/p2.html(Myicon) I tried to optimise the custom icon as best as I could, but when I found out that even using a 5x5 pixel big icon (non-transparent, only #ff colored pixels) and the map is still unbelievably slow, I started windering what kind of magic icon does google use? Why can't I create such a good, optimised icon? Is it even possible to create an optimised icon? Or is Google cheating in someway? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Maps JavaScript API v3 group.
