Hi. I struggled with something similar. I think if you change the line: select: 'AnotherTest', to: select: 'Latitude', you'll find it pulls up all the info in the FT for that point. If you only want it to select certain fields you have to edit the FT infowindow set up (under Visualise / Table

Hi, There are 3 visibility settings. Public and unlisted should work, but private will not. This is a condition Google put on using FT / Maps API (that they are technically 'public'), I think. You need the Premium API maps package to show private data, I think. But are you saying it doesn't work

Hello. We've built our map using the API v3. www.mukaranga.com/map.html. I believe I implemented all the geo-location code correctly. It does track initial location on PC across mobile platforms. However the users location on the map doesn't seem to keep updating, i.e. move as you drive around.
