Re: [Google Maps API v3] Re: 2011/8/17 - New Release (3.6)
In version 3.4 on March 2nd we released Canvas markers: http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/wiki/JavascriptMapsAPIv3Changelog Canvas supports about 10 times more markers than the non-optimized markers, addressing a long-standing complaint that our old markers were very slow. Unfortunately we can't keep old API versions around forever because the private HTTP interfaces used by Google Maps API change over time. Instead we support 3 versions in parallel, so that sites can test and upgrade on their own timetable. - Ben On Sat, Sep 3, 2011 at 12:35 AM, Robert Aspinall raspin...@gmail.comwrote: Thanks, and we'll do that, but why did this occur between 3.3 and 3.4?

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: 2011/8/17 - New Release (3.6)
I've recognized the same problem. Either 3.6 is already feature stable and this information wasn't published, or there's some bug in the Google loader - or the 3.6 was marked internally as stable and isn't so... Because if I tell the Google Loader to load version 3, I get 3.6.1. By the way, I had one problem with 3.6: today I was surprised, that in IE9 the street names were far too small to read because formerly it worked well in all browsers. I then started playing around with loading different API versions and 3.4 as well as 3.5 worked perfectly. After that, I was tryting 3.6 a last time - and suddenly it worked also perfectly. So at the end, I didn't change anything of my original code. Have anyone of you noticed a similar (strange) behaviour???

Re: [Google Maps API v3] Re: 2011/8/17 - New Release (3.6)
On our application without the optimization set to false the markers flicker with each update and is rather annoying, granted the fix is relatively simple. Without the optimization set to false and you are updating the position of several markers in quick succession, you can sometimes barely observe some of the markers as there appears to be more flicker than marker.

Hi Chris,
Sorry, but had to lock my web site to version 3.5 to avoid the
problem.
However, the airport in question is :
- Aéroport de Dinard Pleurtuit Saint-Malo (DNR), 35730 Pleurtuit,
France
whose coordonates are
Lat : 48.58776739755567
Lng : -2.0796951962890944
Hope this helps with your investigations

Re: [Google Maps API v3] Re: 2011/8/17 - New Release (3.6)
Hi Simon,
Thanks! I was able to reproduce.
It turns out that particular airport is comprised of two geometries - the
runways are a transit.station.airport, but the general area is a poi
(unfortunately the most specific category).
So, to disable the clickable icon, you'd need a style like
{
featureType: poi,
elementType: labels,
stylers: [ { visibility: off } ]
}
(you could turn all the other poi categories back on, though)
It does seem wrong that there is a geometry (and label) only selectable
under a vague category, I will follow up on this.
Hope this helps,
Chris
