[jQuery] Re: jQuery Maps 1.3 released with Yahoo! Maps Support
Yep, that's the idea. When you set up the map, there are lots of
options that allows you to add and remove controls from the page, as
well as disabling map dragging and enabling mouse zoom.
In regards to adding pins, at the moment the plugin allows just
standard red google markers and orange yahoo markers, the next release
I intend to allow custom icon support, similar to how the polylines
are at the moment (you build the icon in your own code and pass it to
the addPoint method)
At the moment when adding a point, it is usually done by searching for
an address, I should actually add the functionality to just be able to
click a point onto the map too. You can then save this in your db, as
the map returns the lat/lon data by returning the data to a form.
I then show this saved data on the map by outputing a mix of js and php:
$('#mymap').addPoint(?php e($lat);?,?php e($lon);?,?php
e($html);?, false, false);
Now when the point shows on the map, you click it and whatever
contents were passed into $html will show in the infowindow.
Hope this helps.

I've seen these cool sites that use yahoo or Google maps and let you put
your bird observations on them with pins. But I have never understood how
they did that. Can you point me in a direction that would shed some light on
this?

Hi,
Yea - sorry about that - sucky free hosting. I keep promising myself
I'll get some decent hosting set up.
Are you talking about the Yahoo! Maps? The data on the maps should be
no more recent than Google or Yahoo! provides.

When I first went to the link for the examples to this plug in an awful popup appeared along with a long audio speech from some guy telling me I could win a plasma TV. But the map works very well. In fact when I check my house they had a much more recent photo than Google has, one that showed the grass I added a few years back. Is anyone using this plug in? Mitch

The data on the maps should be no more recent than Google or Yahoo! provides. I've had a few hundred downloads so far, so hopefully we'll some some usage soon on sites using jQuery that need map functionality.
