[Google Maps API v3] Getting a transparent road layer

I want to make a terrain map with a transparent road layer on top of it, similar to the way that the hybrid map puts a road layer and related info on top of a satellite view. I tried creating a StyledMapType using these styles: var styles = [ { featureType: "all",

There's no violation of the TOS here. The *map* itself is available to the general public for free, yes? It's the link that was posted at the beginning of the thread? The fact that there is also a link to the map in some forum that you have to pay to join is irrelevant. The owner of a map using t

Assuming that rs.features is an array, this code doesn't make any sense at all. The loop in the else clause will run exactly zero times, because c (the array length) is greater than or equal to zero, and therefore i > c will be false the first time it's tested. -Mike On Mon, Dec 19, 2011 at 7:30

I'll bet your map_canvas div is not getting the height you expect. Have you checked its actual height? You may be able to fix it by adding these styles: html { height: 100%; } body { height: 100%; } Or a certain fix is to set the height explicitly in JS, e.g. $('#map_canvas').height

Re: [Google Maps API v3] Marker data

2013-03-29 Thread Michael Geary

Creating a marker with the Maps API doesn't send data to any Google server, other than a request for the marker image if you use a stock marker image. It's all done on the client in JavaScript. You can provide your own marker image to avoid even that request. Don't take my word for this, though.

There's a lot missing from your posted code: the containsLatLng() function, the data in the msg variable, any errors shown in the browser's JavaScript console, etc. It's going to be hard for anyone to guess what may be going wrong without seeing more. Can you post a link to the map page that is fa

You're using undocumented internal properties that may change arbitrarily whenever Google recompiles the Maps API code. You need to use the documented Maps API methods instead. In your containsLatLng() function, the position variable and each cityPoints[i].center property are google.maps.LatLng ob
