I think the best way to include pointers would be to use My Google Maps and custom KML for each of your Google Maps.

Could be wrong.

I’ve deactivated all plugins, checked the code 10 times, its not site specific, PHP5, wordpress 2.7.1. Thoughts?

Thanks again.

Any thought on if you’ll be adding the new Google Latitude support any time soon?

Thanks!

Cheers

and i dun know how to deal with this case. it really make me puzzle…

orz….

My quesion is, how to get rid of the ballond at all ? I dont want them to appear when a marker is clicked on…

Great plugin, but I was wondering if there was a way to not have it show a marker from the a tag. Like I want to use my maps from google that already have the markers on them, but when I try to add them with your plugin, it adds the marker from your plugin, even if I don’t have text within the anchor tag.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

I justed used your Google Maps plugin to illustrate possible trips on pages in my WordPress blog. It really works great. Is there a simple way to add lines between the markers (GPolyline function) to indicate route. Since this is for planning puposes I don’t have an actual KML file yet. Thanks.

Sorry, my previous attempt failed to display correctly because the code was interpreted instead of displayed. I used curly brackets in place of angle brackets to avoid that. Hope it works.

I’m no expert on this plugin, as my maps are slow, but they do work. Here’s a sample with two points. Just add more DT and DD line pairs for each additional point. I have a map with over 1,000 points. The DIV isn’t a requirement, I just used it to separate the map from other objects on the page.

{div id=”mapholder”}
{dl title=”googlemap;w:610;h:450″ style=”visibility: hidden;” }
{dt}{a href=”http://maps.google.com/?z=1&ll=27.943598,-82.746114&om=1″}Center of map{/a}{/dt}
{dt}{a href=”http://maps.google.com/?ll=51.187744,3.141078″ title=”marker”}map{/a}{/dt}

{dd}Location Name #1{br /}Address #1{br /}City, State Zip #1{/dd}
{dt}{a href=”http://maps.google.com/?ll=26.615805,-80.100878″ title=”marker”}map{/a}{/dt}

{dd}Location Name #2{br /}Address #2{br /}City, State Zip #2{/dd}
{dt}{a href=”http://maps.google.com/?ll=26.615805,-80.100878″ title=”marker”}map{/a}{/dt}

{/div}

Good luck with your map.

We’re all good at something but web design is not within my comfort zone. Thank!

I’m trying to get the KML version working but the points are not showing up in IE of FF, but the map does center correctly.

The code I use to add it:

<dl title=”googlemap;w:100%;h:400″ id=”my-wonderful-map-with-kml”>
<dt><a href=”http://maps.google.com/?z=12&ll=44.67439,-93.376751&om=1″>Center of map</a></dt>
<dt><a title=”kml” href=”http://mnalpacas/map/PCA.kml”>Pure Country Alpacas</a></dt>
</dl>

then the KML file - this is the trimmed down one:
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<kml xmlns=”http://earth.google.com/kml/2.2″>
<Placemark>
<name>Pure Country Alpacas</name>
<description>Butch & Pat Hansen<br>Pure Country Alpacas<br>5691 190th St. E.<br>Prior Lake, MN 55372<br>952-447-3031<br>952-807-4002</description>
<Point>
<coordinates>-93.405685,44.674118,0.000000</coordinates>
</Point>
</Placemark>
</kml>

or the original one I got from google maps when I saved it

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>

Is there anything obviously wrong with the above?

The code I use to add it:

Using YSlow, I noticed that there are calls for 7 Javascript files from Google on all my pages, whether I have a map or not. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way for the plugin to only make these calls for pages/posts that contain a map? If not, can you either update the plugin with this logic or advise on how & where to do the conditional in your code?

These JS files are pulled from Google and don’t have expired headers. Even if the files are in the cache, there are still 7 round trips to Google to determine if the files are current. Is there a way to copy those files to my static domain where I can expire the headers and save those round trips on every post/page?

I’ve saved my special API key for each site, also I’ve tried inserting the codes you provide just to test: http://www.angelusnoctis.com/test-map/

As you see I just get text with links… Any idea? I really need this for a new site I’m designing…

Nice plugin, Has been looking for such plugin. come across this site from google result.

have downloaded it. will give feedback after testing it

Thanks for the plugin

Ein Test für das Googlemaps PlugIn
Hier ist der Map link
SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: “”, url: “” });……

Is it possible to have the Get directions to here functionality in the pop up box ?

Thanks for sharing this great Plugin!
