Hi,

i got no question, but must report about a IE 6-bug with the new google maps API. If you set base href (to run your site with seo friendly urls), don’t close it with short tags. Just use this:

<base href="..."></base>

See http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=517

Maybe we should set this hint on the download page?

Bye,
Mithrandir

This is pretty well known for a lot of IE problems.

Doze you are a genius!

This works great now I’ve had time to go through it.

http://googlemapsapi.blogspot.com/2007/12/v294-terrain-and-new-maptypecontrol-to.html shows the code-> you only have to insert

map.addMapType(G_PHYSICAL_MAP);

in the snippet (see last line below):

        $script .= '
                //set initial map type
                ';
    if ($mapType == "normal") {
        $script .= '
                map.setMapType(G_NORMAL_MAP);';
    } else if ($mapType == "satellite") {
        $script .= '
                map.setMapType(G_SATELLITE_MAP);';
    } else if ($mapType == "hybrid") {
        $script .= '
                map.setMapType(G_HYBRID_MAP);';
    }
$script.='map.addMapType(G_PHYSICAL_MAP);';

Now, you’ll see a new button. If you want to open the map with terrain view, you must use "setMapType" (untested).

Nice. Thanks. I´ll try to set up the "setMapType" as well.

In the snippet "Parameter default values configuration" I made this change…

// ["normal" | "satellite" | "hybrid" | "physical"]
// Initial type of the map
$mapType = (isset($mapType)) ? $mapType : "physical";

and then I changed the code like this in the last part of the snippet:

   if ($mapType == "normal") {
        $script .= '
                map.setMapType(G_NORMAL_MAP);';
    } else if ($mapType == "satellite") {
        $script .= '
                map.setMapType(G_SATELLITE_MAP);';
    } else if ($mapType == "hybrid") {
        $script .= '
                map.setMapType(G_HYBRID_MAP);';
    } else if ($mapType == "physical") {
        $script .= '
                map.setMapType(G_PHYSICAL_MAP);';
    }
$script.='map.addMapType(G_PHYSICAL_MAP);';
        $script .= '

… and it works! Then I just wonder if anyone knows how to get the "Street View", "More…" and the scrolling with the mouse working. Then this snippet would be … !

Google Map Marker is a great snippet - thank you.

I was just wondering of there was any way to filter the results? So say I show a map with 50 restaurants on it - I could show another map with just the French restaurants filtered by doc id?

Thanks again for a great Snippet.
