Re: Displaying list of addresses that can not be geocoded by Google Map API

Those look like business names, rather than addresses. The API Geocoder
doesn't do business name lookups. Try using Google AJAX Local Search.

Re: Change InfoWindow content...

One way would be to store the HTML in a marker Property rather than
holding it with Function Closure.
function createMarker(point,html) {
var marker = new GMarker(point);
marker.Html = html; // store the html in a Property
GEvent.addListener(marker,"cli ck",function() {
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(mark er.Html); // Use the stored html

Re: map api key registered to another domain

If that was the problem, then there's a bug in the key validation
system. Registering orangeblossombeekeepers.com is supposed to be valid
for all subdomains of orangeblossombeekeepers.com.
For example my page
[link]
is also accessible as

Re: Icons are not showing up in FireFox

I suspect that the problem is that for most HTML Elements, the "name"
and "id" attributes are aliases for the same underlying property. [There
are two names for the same attribute because the concept was developed
independently by IE and Netscape, and neither side would back down when
the standards were negotiated.]

Check that the BDCCPolygon.js file is accessible through your webserver.
If you point your browser directly at the .js file it should give you a
clue if you've put it in the wrong place, set the file protection
incorrectly, given it the wrong MIME type or configured your router to
block it.

Re: map.zoomIn() can't be continuous?

2008-11-22T06:20:48Z

There used to be some undocumented parameters to make it animate, but
I don't know if they are still there.
I believe it is
map.zoomin(null,null,true)

See this post:

but note that it is more than 2 years old!

map.zoomIn() can't be continuous?

2008-11-22T05:46:51Z

Try as I might, I can't get map.zoomIn() to be continuous... and I've
enabled continuous zoom, and it works fine for the mouse wheel and
double clicks.

Any ideas?

The fix is in, but unfortunately won't go live for a few days from now, due
to the code.google.com release schedule. For now, please transform the URLs

sorting ambiguity in geocoding

2008-11-22T04:35:23Z

I've known for a long time that google maps geocoding service has a US
bias concerning cities with ambigious names.

For instance 'brisbane' is geocoded as San Francisco, not QLD, AUS.
Johannasburg is geocoded in Minnesota, not South Africa.

I thought this was just something that would have to be lived with and

Re: Calculating real distances from non-web based on Java app

2008-11-22T04:33:50Z

If your application is non-web based, then it doesn't use the Google
Maps API.
If it doesn't use the Google Maps API then the question does not
belong in this group.

If it does use the Google Maps API then look for the
GLatLng.distanceFrom() method.

Re: map api key registered to another domain

2008-11-22T04:19:36Z

Thanks for all your help, the problem turned to be that I had
registered orangeblossombeekeepers.com instead of [link].
Once I added the new key to the web page the map appeared.

Re: Bulk Driving Distances not being returned

2008-11-22T04:09:19Z

There are several problems, and it is not the speed that causes it to
fail.

1. You're executing the javascript before any of the divs have been
created, so getElementById() returns null
2. When the first GDirections object completes and it calls the
callback function, and in that function you try to read from all

Re: Are there any changes in polygons?

2008-11-22T04:00:05Z

Thank you, I have changed the BDCCPolygon to the latest file. After
that change, I can see the polygons when I open the file directly,
however if i access the file through web server (localhost), firebug
throws an error like "BDCCPolygon is not defined".
Do you know what would cause that different behavior between them?

Re: Tabs on info bubbles

2008-11-22T03:48:01Z

With Google Maps, you get what you get.
If you want an extra feature, this is the wrong discussion group to
get attention.

This is for the Google Maps API, write-your-own, and the API has
included infowindow tabs since ... well, since you last used them :)

cheers, Ross K
