Google Map API
I have been working to modify the site to use the new Google Map API. There are a few thing which aren’t quite there yet so I will leave the current site as it is until these are ironed out.
I quickly solved the problem of linking the icons on the panel to the map using arrays to hold the GMarker items and the associated XML block. You can find this here. My posting is under ‘ajr’. I thought my solution was quite good as it used the API elements only.
One of the new neat things I have noticed is that the map now offers detailed satellite images of London. This has made for some amusing moments as I attempt to match up where I placed camera icons with what the roads really look like. I never promised they were totally accurate and I see I am going to have to do a little (lot) of revision.
I have been having problems moving this blog to the new cgi server. If it goes belly up for a while then you know why!
