Re: creating a legend on google maps

Construct a <div> and add it as the content of a GControl. Using
GControl means that infoWindows and the like will avoid it.

There's a (complex) example at [link] -- see the
Find Us tab. The control is created with function legend_control in
the code, and added with
map.addControl(new legend_control());

1. Move to a different provider.
2. Raise an issue, giving details like the provider name and the IP
address range they're using; and wait.

It's similar (but not the same, unless you're using App Engine) to
issue 2186. [link]

It's standard behaviour for markers, they try and stay in the centre
of the viewport. Setting the map not to repeat might be expected to
stop the markers swapping between map images as the map is moved, but
it doesn't.

You could restrict the pan range of your map, since there is nothing
to pan to. [link]

Re: How to get Latitude & longitude

Does no-one do any research any more?

Have a look at this example:

A click on the map is handled by a function called getAddress(). That
gets passed two arguments, overlay and latlng. "latlng" is the

Yes.

You could read the documentation and the examples and have a go at
getting that data. Do some work and post the link of the page where
you have tried it. Then, if you have difficulty, the other members of
the group will have something to work with to help you.

Re: Static map link with address geocodes strangely

andrew.leac...@gmail.com (Andrew Leach) — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 08:04:06 UT

Feature.

Try spelling out "John F Kennedy Parkway" instead of JFK. This matches
the name on the map tiles.

Even then, it looks like it's still slightly wrong. But as you know
the location you're looking for, why not use its coordinates directly
instead of relying on a geocoder. Rule 1: never trust a geocoder.

Re: Question regarding plotting routes

andrew.leac...@gmail.com (Andrew Leach) — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 08:10:10 UT

It is possible. Do you intend to display all the routes found? (See
10.12 of the Terms: if you use a service you must display the results
on a map -- with directions you can display either the route map or
the textual directions)

What is not clear about previous answers?

Long-standing members of the group care about the Terms of Service and
are unwilling to help people break them. You can only access Google/
TeleAtlas imagery via the API, so this:

I have embed a google map on my web page using Java Script API.

user moves around the map.

Static map link with address geocodes strangely

na...@animats.com (nagle) — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 05:29:36 UT

Here's a static map URL which implies a geocoding by address. (This is
the corporate HQ of Dun and Bradstreet, incidentally.)

An old ditty comes to mind from this question...

How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck
wood? He'd chuck as much wood as a wood chuck could if a wood chuck
could chuck wood.

Again, I'm being silly. What's gotten into me? Perhaps sleep
deprivation has finally caused me to snap.

I hate to be a butt head but these questions would be easily answered
by using this amazing tool called Google.

What's interesting about this type of question is the poster obviously
needs the answer, and probably sooner than later. Wouldn't it be a lot
more efficient to simply type those questions into Google and get
