Powered by, and MyMaps - in Gmaps Pro How to? - 2008/02/11 23:49
Excellent component, I tried the demo and just had to have it.
I did read the FAQ and searched the forum, but the instructions for removing the "Powered by" is not up to date for Gmaps Pro?
secondly I seem to have a problem integrating Mymaps from google maps. I have created a public map on google maps site, (no markers, just area polygons)
but it does not show in gmaps pro.
Any Help please!
Regards.

Re:Powered by, and MyMaps - in Gmaps Pro How to? - 2008/02/12 01:02

I still can't get the map to default to my location when adding new markers.
I tried changing all the default lat long numbers in the google.api file to my lat / lon location
But the default map still centers to denver.

Re:Powered by, and MyMaps - in Gmaps Pro How to? - 2008/02/12 02:57
ahh well after 3 hours of searching how to replace the default lat / long of the "create a new marker" section
I finally found it in the file called marketcontroller.class.php in the classes sub folder of GmapsPro
( i really wish there is updated docs/tips for pro users soon)
Meanwhile a tip: the only reason i managed to find this after hunting via ftp for so long unsuccessfully, was because i downloaded a handy utility called "File Substring Replacement Utility"
and then used it to search through all files in the gmaps pro component on my harddrive.
Hope this helps others
PS the issue of why Mymaps from google is not displaying is still unresolved

As I am a one person show on this, and time has been limited lately for various reasons, my sincerest apologize for not seeing this sooner. Please shoot me an email to ensure all issues are covered (email is easiest for me most of the time -- unfortunately).
1. I'll have to find some time to review the docs. I am not aware of a problem with how to remove the 'powered by'. If you want that to be a configuration option, add that as a feature request in bug tracker.
2. As for my maps. I'll have to test the URL you have provided. However, the issue probably is that this doesn't point to a KML file. Try obtaining this map in a KML file and place that on a public server. This is the function call that handles the MyMaps stuff http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/reference.html#GGeoXml
3. The default lat/long can be set inside the map configuration. However, if there are no markers, I am not sure what the behavior is.
Again, my apologies for not responding sooner. This is my fault that this was overlooked. Please shoot me an email if any of the above does not help resolve your problem.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your reply.
The KML thing worked ! (previously I was only copying the url from mymaps)
I should have posted this in the subscriber forum earlier 
The default lat/long can be set in map config, true! but that is when displaying a map, What I was referring to was setting the default location for the admin map and the front end add a marker to a map page.
( I have manged to change this though)
Many thanks for a great component and looking forward to you adding ongoing features to it.
I will recommend this to other joomla authors of compnents such as ezrealty etc, because your adapter/plugin interface may just get all components to have map-able output!

Yeah .. I've gotten a few requests to set the lat/long of the marker editor. So hopefully someone put that in as a feature request in our bug tracker so I won't lose track of it.

You say that the "KML thing worked"  That's great, I'm trying to figure it out myself. Can you please give a rundown on how you exported to KML and did you just place it on your own server?
Thanks,
Rick
Update: Okay, that always happens.. As soon as I post a quesetion I figure it out on my own 
For those who are trying to figure it out here it goes: Make a me My Map in Google Maps. Then click on "View in Google Earth" Then choose Save. Upload that file to your server and point to it in the gmapsPro Mangage Maps where it asks you to specify the URL for you "My Map"

I believe the PDF doc covers this too.
