The issue with this version is all your functions are local to the

Move the script from the table to the bottom of the page, just before
the </body> tag (or define it in the head and run it in an onload
function).

Bottom line is that everyone is getting a 404 error which means the
file isn't in the web viewable area or you're giving us the wrong file
name. Double check everything and make sure you can load it in your
browser by just entering the url.

Markers with labels and it all comes from an XML file

2009-01-06T22:17:39Z

(My first google map)
Using the great code from here, [link], I have a
map loading with points from an xml file.

Now I want to add an index number from that xml file and have that
display as part of the point graphic. I know this can be done and
have seen several examples of displaying a label, but none that

Can I use a static picture of an embedded map?

2009-01-06T22:04:48Z

I was going to use a Google Maps static image to display in a Facebook
application, but unlike our embedded maps, there isn't a way to put
our company's logo on the static image. Does anyone know if I would be
in violations of the TOS if I took a screen shot of one of our
embedded maps and used it as a static image? I have looked through the

problem maximizing info windows in Safari

2009-01-06T21:25:41Z

I have a marker that's set up with a maxContent. The maxContent is
displayed fine when you expand the info window with the plus sign in
all browsers. Inside the info window I also provide a link to expand
the infoWindow.

The link is: <a href="javascript:map.getInfoWi ndow().maximize();">Read

Re: Using openinfowindowhtml with multiple markers

2009-01-06T22:09:56Z

It is.

See Mike Williams' tutorial. Most likely pitfall #3 of the first
page. A createMarker function would solve the problem.

Please read the posting guidelines and post a link to your map that
shows the problem...

Re: how to get the center of 3 points?

I see the confusion. The spherical triangle defined by three points
has to be the smallest (area wise) such - so going around the equator
is wrong.

If you dont like that argument, change the third point to (45, 180) -
or, to keep marcello happy, (45, 179.999999). Now its obvious that the

Re: how to get the center of 3 points?

Thats why I put the "" around "triangle" - because its degenerate.

But to be honest, Im not sure your definition is particularly
authoritative - simply because it *does* exclude degenerate triangles.

Doesnt really affect anything either way. Just move the last point to
179.99999999999, and everyone's happy.
