Hi xelawho,

thanks for your valuable response!

I checked out your demo - looks interesting, but the "Add location"
feature doesn't seem to work?

cheers,
R.

[Google Maps API v3] Totally confused about which version to use, demos, terms

[Richey]

Hello,

I intend to create a website merging maps with database content - a
bit similar to many of the websites providing restaurant locations,
reviews etc.

So visitors could submit reviews for some particular spots of
interest, mark them on a map and later on they could be browsed on a
map with all the local spots of interest.

I was a software developer until about 5 yrs ago, still create
websites, but am not very familiar with Javascript etc. However, I
want to do it!
The problem is that I'm totally confused about
a) which version of the Google Maps API to use for my purpose
b) where to find docs and demos to get me started and to understand
the concept

I thought what I'm planning to do would be a 'mashup', alone I found
that Mashups seem to be  depreciated now and the online demos I found
seem only to work with the Maps API v2. Also, it is hard to find out
the 'right' way to do it amongst the hundreds of websites dealing with
the Google Maps API but many of them seem to provide information
refering to the API 1 and 2 and I'm not sure if I should take that
route to avoid an outdated codebase from the beginning.

Can anyone point me to the right directions please?

thanks so much,
R.
