Re: point within bounds?

You could convert the KML coordinates to GLatLng() and then use
EPoly.Contains().

There's nothing in the API itself that will help you do that. You'd have
to crawl through the DOM looking for all the links and checking their
"href" attributes. When you find one, use .setAttribute() to point the
"href" at your code that handles the alert.

Re: Get Transit Directions?

nos...@econym.demon.co.uk (Mike Williams) — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 06:36:52 UT

If you're throwing the directions request at maps.google.com, then you
can add &dirflg=r.
Transit directions are not currently supported in the API or in embedded
maps. Consider supporting the enhancement request by adding your star to
issue 713:

Re: is there anyway to check whether gstep pass through specific road?

nos...@econym.demon.co.uk (Mike Williams) — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 06:28:25 UT

If you monitor one point either side of each of the major intersections,
and one close to each end, then you'll catch anything that turns in or
out of that street via those intersections.
Place the points a little further away from the intersections than the
distance you count as a hit, otherwise routes that cross Clementi Road

Transit directions are not currently available in the API. If you
would like to see it added, vote for this "feature request" (star

Re: getDistance between 2 addresses without loading up a map page (i.e. from a PHP script)

The first parameter must either be a GMap2 Object or null. It can't be
an empty Object.
gdir = new GDirections( null, document.getElementById("direc tions"));
[Technically you could use anything else that is considered false when
if()ed, because that's what the API does with the first parameter. So 0

You will either need to use a third party parser (EGeoXml or GeoXml)
which gives you access to the polygons or you will have to use the
strategy that Mike Williams talks about here:

Re: Directions on info tab

geocode...@gmail.com (geocodezip@gmail.com) — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 06:06:43 UT

Think about what the 1st tab is going to look like when the "from" or
"to" form is there. If you can it would be easier to put the
directions on a fourth tab. Add that tab like I do in this example:

If you really want to put it on the first tab, you need to remember

GeoXml compresses down to approximately 25kb. ... yippeee.. about
the size of one of the more complicated jpegs in a sattellite layer...
If you are targetting 56kb modem users.. you will find.. there isnt a map
service in existance that is small enough as the data itself is too much and
is overwhelmingly bigger than googles API.

Re: Street View is available only on second click of the marker

alsa...@gmail.com (wallas) — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 02:21:41 UT

Another thing that I just tried but didn't help is creating a div node
and giving it the same id "pano"

var newDiv = document.createElement('div');
newDiv.setAttribute('id',"pano ");

but where should I append this new div so it can solve the problem?

I highly appreciate your help!!
