I would like to implement some form of googlemaps on my site which would be used to display locations of known radar traps that police setup, or photo radar locations etc....

living in Canada I'm having a difficult time getting the lat and long of locations. I thought I was playing around with googlemaps before and found a way to indicate the lat/long as you moved your cursor over the map. Just looking for some suggestions you might have?

This should work for canda.

How can you adjust the size of the map dynamically if possible? My site is based around 1024x768, but I personally use 1200x1600. How can I make the sizing the best for both worlds, or prefereable the 1024x768. Also are we able to get access anywhere to google map files? Perhaps images that google uses for markers etc....I've found some here and there, but just wondering if there is somewhere that indexes them?

I don't even see where to adjust the width of the map.

Hey froggy - At the bottom of the coding it says:
"<BODY>
// i have this set up for height only add the width if you want.
<DIV id="map" STYLE="height:600px"></DIV>
</BODY> "

change the height to whatever you want and add the width.

Also Im not sure of where to get the markers. You can make your own and pull them from your server, just edit the
icon0.image = "http://www.google.com/mapfiles/marker.png";
icon0.shadow = "http://www.google.com/mapfiles/shadow50.png"; url for those.

Updated the Live Demo Link.

When I attempt to add a 4th marker the map doesnt load for some reason.. I copied and pasted everything exactly the same.. I got 3 to work fine, but when I go to add the 4th it wont load.. any ideas?

Please PM me, thanks..

below that copy and past this

PHP Code:


		
			
newpoints[0] = new Array(-74.084375, 40.917748, icon0, 'Austins Restaurant Junkyard Nightclub', '<div id="popup"><br />Austins Restaurant Junkyard Nightclub<br />352 West Passaic Street<br />Rochelle Park, NJ 07662</div>');

see where it says

PHP Code:


		
			
newpoints[0]

For every new marker/location/spot you want you need to change the 0 to a number... 1,2,3,4,5,6 etc.

PHP Code:


		
			
new Array(-74.084375, 40.917748,

refers to the coordinates of this location.

PHP Code:


		
			
icon0

is the marker they will be shown when the location is loaded.

PHP Code:


		
			
'Austins Restaurant Junkyard Nightclub',

is the name of the location

the rest

PHP Code:


		
			
'<div id="popup"><br />Austins Restaurant Junkyard Nightclub<br />352 West Passaic Street<br />Rochelle Park, NJ 07662</div>');

is to show in a popup window and does not have to be included.

i did that and its still not working :(

post your coding please

Hi Kev,

Would this code work with 3.6.0 ?

Thanks,

Patrick
