[Google Maps API v3] Re: Issue with the new 'signed in' feature
I have posted a bug report at https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=7445 Can more resources be given to fixing reported bugs in the v3 API ? There are some quite major bugs that were reported some time ago but are still awaiting a fix such as: https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=5713 (posted 18 months ago) https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=5837 (which I posted 15 months ago) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Issue with the new 'signed in' feature
Thanks for noticing this. It looks like something we can improve in the Maps API. Please file a bug on the issue tracker if you'd like to keep track of it: https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/list Enoch On Monday, December 8, 2014 2:01:18 AM UTC+11, Rob McMahon wrote: > > I made a stripped down page to demonstrate the bug at > http://www.mapchannels.com/testsignedinmap.htm > > I noticed a couple of other things > > (1) When using v3.x instead of v3.18 the text stays as 'Cannot Save To > Google Maps' and 'Save to Google Maps' never appears.

RE: [Google Maps API v3] Re: Issue with the new 'signed in' feature
Hi Enoch Thanks for the reply. It’s probably best to look at the template map which is used to generate the code for the user. This is at http://www.mapchannels.com/venuemap/template/map.htm The marker is set up in createMarker() at line 403 and the infoWindow is displayed by showInfoWindow() at line 560. I can strip down the code and send you a link tomorrow to a page with just the one map and no street view. I did try playing around with the creation order for the marker and info window but the same problem happened. It may be due to the fact that I’m not using Google Place IDs for the markers. In lines 405 – 418 I have this code to set up the properties required for markerOptions : // place information (location and name) for used by the Google signed-in bookmarking service var placeInfo = { placeId: null, location: pt, query: placeName }; // Add Marker Attribution Information var attributionInfo = { source: linkTitle, webUrl: linkURL }; var markerOptions = { position: pt, map: map, icon: markerURL, title: name, place: placeInfo, attribution: attributionInfo }; I’m guessing that there’s a different process for markers without a Google Place ID and that is causing the bug. It’s not a major issue but it would look a bit neater without the text flicker when the info window is launched. It only ever happens the first time the info window gets displayed.

Venue Maps let people create maps and streetview for a selected location and includes full source code. There is a small bug I noticed with the signed in feature. When the info window first loads the text 'Can't save this place to Google Maps' is displayed. About a second later (the time varies) this text is replaced by 'Save to Google Maps'. Screenshots of the issue are here: http://www.mapchannels.com/screenshots/venuemap-signedin1.jpg http://www.mapchannels.com/screenshots/venuemap-signedin2.jpg This isn't a major bug but it would look neater if only the 'Save to Google Maps' text was displayed.
