Re: Google Maps API v3 ***Update 09/02/01***
Hi BaconFries,
I only loaded the maps today & already in Google webmasters tools they are giving a HTML suggestion about the googlemap pages.
They are saying they are missing Title Tags.
Is the best solution just to exclude these in the robots file?
note:......This is the map only page, not the actual page with all info, images & where the map actually appears.

I will see what I can do about adding <title></title> and maybe some meta tags into the html..
Re: Google Maps API v3 ***Update 09/02/01***
Ok, sounds good.
As a temporary measure I have just excluded them in the robots file.

Re: Google Maps API v3 marker displacement!
Hi BaconFries,
I'm having a displacement of the marker from the right coordinates while zooming out. Here's an example at http://www.mauritius360.com/test/googlemap.html
On full zoom in the marker placement is right on a place in the Bay. On zooming out you can see the marker drifting out of the island.

Hi BaconFries,
It's working correctly now. Many thanks for resolving this issue so fast.
By the way, is it possible to insert a hyperlink or image in the dialog box?

Hi when I first rebuilt this version of the map API V3 it did have a offset in the code, but I had to remove it because it was causing the map icon to be put out of place and not showing the said latittude/longitude position of the location that the user inserted into the extension variables. I will check if I still have a copy of that on Mediafire or backed up and a pendrive If either is the case I will post it temporarily for you to try it out and se it it is what you need...

This is because IE9 is using hardware-accelerated text using sub-pixel Microsoft ClearType font positioning. This will make the font you used look different in display compared to older versions of IE you can trying

I take a look and see why this maybe happening looking at my extension it could be due to the wrong doctype getting outputted...this is only something I can fix...I will also add compatibilty mode to the extension as well to allow emulation for older browsers...

Sorry the map only uses a onclick event to dispaly the ballon.Is it possible to have the balloon tip show when the map loads instead of having to click on the marker..
Cant reall say it could just be a small lag in time for it to be brought into your page and when you refresh it gets called fater because it is already in your browsers cache.
The extension alread has this feature installed if you notice the small man icon in the map if the users drags this on top of the pin icon it will give a streetview..

Re: Google Maps API v3 ***Update 07/06/11***
Hi..
I spend 2 hours to figure out why the extension not working for me. I was getting the Lat & Lon from here
Well, in the extension the order is Lon & Lat instead of Lat & Lon, during copy i din't notice. Please correct it because i am sure some users will have the same result as me.
Question:
Why you create an extra page for the extension like googlemaps.html you can't just use the code inside a div...???
Notice:
In the field (Map Icon Image Title) i add a message in Greek but is shown as Chinese. Any idea why...??? Perhaps because u using the extra page googlemaps.html.
That's all for now. Thanks

If you maybe had spent either 5 minutes looking through previous posts you would have found the anwser or taking the time to post and I would have replied...I spend 2 hours to figure out why the extension not working for me. I was getting the Lat & Lon from here Well, in the extension the order is Lon & Lat instead of Lat & Lon,
WHY so that you can use more than one map per site and because the javascript that it is using is HTML 5 complient if you try and mix on the same page the w3C gives errors that is why it is in a iframe....Why you create an extra page for the extension like googlemaps.html you can't just use the code inside a div...???
I dont know I dont speak greek!!!!! and I have no need to use cryliic characters .....I dont and cant test to make sure it works for every persons language that would take forever...did you try using with the unicode version of the builder?????In the field (Map Icon Image Title) i add a message in Greek but is shown as Chinese. Any idea why...??? Perhaps because u using the extra page googlemaps.html.
And finally if you dont like how the Map works or how I bulit it ...then there are more than just this one available to use...and YES that will be ALL for now

Ok I have looked at the map, and the url you have in the bubble, and it does look disorted in IE and not in FF, if you just use the url by itself, inserted into IE address bar and view it is also distored, so this tells me it is nothing to do with the extension, but how IE it rendering the page which is infact using flash to display the streetview, you can see this yourself by looking at the following url which you are using, so it is a browser issue(IE) which the extension has no control over, it also looks like the url is using a older version on the map code (API v2) in the flash that IE cant render the same as Firefox...

Re: Google Maps API v3 ***Update 07/06/11***
Actually, now that I am reading the updates on the first page of this topic:
http://wysiwygwebbuilder.com/forum/view ... 42&t=21331
And then also reading on two of Google's web-pages:
1) http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html
2) http://code.google.com/apis/maps/docume ... avascript/
Now I'm wondering: do we even use an extension to use Google Maps in WB8 anymore? If we do, I used an older version of the Maps extension that you made, BaconFries, but now I am wanting to make sure I have the newest version of the Google Maps Extension, if we are still to use one. Where is the download link for it?

Re: Google Maps API v3 ***Update 07/06/11***
The Google map extension available does use API v3 it also does not require you to insert a API Key as previous versions of the map...this is documented in the very first post oif the extension. So the urls that you pointed me to are exactly what the map has been using since 07/06/11 it was origibally made for version 7.x.x but it will work it WB8
From the first page
This version of the google map was built with Extension builder 2.6.0 and is for WB 7.x.x
Google Maps Javascript API Version 3
"I ask that all users update to this version of the extension as Google maps v2 official Javascript API has been officially deprecated as per Googles deprecation policy."
Please note that this is no longer a translated version but a total rebuild of the map using the latest API.
The Google Maps Javascript API lets you embed Google Maps in your own web pages. Version 3 of this API is especially designed to be faster and more applicable to mobile devices, as well as traditional desktop browser applications.

Ok, thanks, BaconFries.
But now I am wondering where the download link is for the extension? I tried going to:
http://wysiwygwebbuilder.com/extensions.html
But I am not seeing it there. Here is a screenshot of the "Google Map" extensions I have that are, I believe, hold-overs from previous versions of WB I had, and I am not sure if I have the most current Google Maps extension or not. AND I am not sure which one is yours, BaconFries, because I think I downloaded one or more that were other Google Map extensions. Here's an image:
