Ok i figured out the errors now all i get is a blank screen though. I tried different key based on domain instead of subdomain but google maps relized that it was wrong site so its not subdomain and ley issue. If you need to view source i have link below.

Re:Error view map - 2007/03/02 09:50
Ok i have nailed most the issues I think ..

1. It seems to have some compatibilities issues with the code. cause in Firefox works great. in Firefox i can reload page unlimited times with no issues. In ie it initially loads now but no pointers and if you reload it errors out with unable to load page??

2. For Longitude and Latitude make sure you are using Degrees only; degrees, minutes, secs do not seem to work. So example
Lat: 37.342124? Long -121.992528? is ok
DO NOT USE
Lat: 37?20'31.65"N Long 121?59'33.10"W

3. First marker seems to be the center of the map.
4. Can not set Hybrid: Glitch i am guessing.

But once you nail that works great. hope that IE compatability is improved on or that might just be IE issue not sure. Also looking for bulk upload of markers I would like to place markers for 10,000+ customers to have a us map thought it would look cool for now i am going to try and manually upload directly in sql I have found were markers are saved so does not look to difficult.

Look forward to future Ver

That is correct. It only will work with degrees. I started this not knowing much about mapping and the API. I built this to primarily make my life easier to manage my maps. I might check the API to see if it supports degrees, minutes and secs.

Also, from my reading, there appear to be cross-browser compatibility issues (go figure) when rendering icons. I haven't had issues during my testing in IE. That said, I rewrote the class that handles the creation and rendering of the map and this handles the icons more effeciently and helps with the cross-compatibility issues (per the API docs). Unfortunately, this means you will have to manage the icons and specify the dimension of the icon so you have use icons of various sizes now. Before, they had to be 12x20 or they would be stretched. This will be included in my next dev build I place on the site this weekend.

As for the bulk-upload, I understand the need for it, but unfortunately, I don't need it in my projects thus the lack of attention. No incentive. Probably easy to do but I have higher priorities at this time (See notes on 1.5 release of where I'm going). Your approach to bulk loading at the db level is a great idea.

Thanks for the reply - 2007/03/03 23:15
Ok your new version 9 resolved any problems I was having with IE Also noticed a bunch of other bug fixes great job. And very understandable on the mass upload tool. Do you know of any tool that will quickly convert address information into Long & Lat coords?? Or do you have any plans to allow an address as the marker input instead of just Long & Lat?? Last thing when viewing the source I noticed that you have two entires of the google map API Key information, I doubt this is an issue but its the little things that cause issues down the road. I am guessing it is related to having two spots to enter api key into your tool. Under the mambot/plugin and also under the component. Thanks again for a great tool.

Amador - thanks for the feedback. Glad the IE problems have been resolved for you. I do not believe the multiple keys in the source will cause a problem. I'll look into removing it for my final 1.0 build.

At some point, I'll allow the address. I am *VERY* new to the Google API so I'm learning as I move forward. I really don't want to reveal, just yet, where I'm going relative to how to get the latitude/longitude; however, I don't think people will be disappointed.

Also, I do have a plan to offer bulk uploads.
