Apparently, google builds transparent png’s for non-IE browsers, but this guy worked around it so that they are generated by SVG instead. You can easily make filled circles and all sorts of other shapes with SVG (here’s a tutorial.

Let me know if you get it working!!

Is it me or they changed how the key works since you wrote this post?

I had a map set up at the root of my server. I moved it in a subdirectory and it still works.

It also works with and without the www subdomain…

Is that normal?

Thanks!

You could make a biological version as well and more….

It really depends on your own attitude….

Nevertheless it’s done very well.

I’m using the API since 2 hours and think that I will link the cruising range of our liveaboard diving boat named “Tidak Apapa” the same way.

I think this is a bit more creative approach than yours!

Thanks for writing such a nice article demostrating usage of GAPI.

I would like to know one thing, how did ya got lat/lan ? I mean the source for getting lat/lan? I need to find lat/lng for all the zipcodes? How can i do this without buying some data ? One option which i can see as of now is sitting for the whole day or more than that and use some webiste which allows me to enter zipcode and get the lat/lgn.

Your input will be of great help to me.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Cheers!

Did you try making the concentric rings the “shadow” of the GIcon, and the center area (as much as you want clickable) the “image”? It appears on maps.google.com that the shadows (of markers and of infoWindows) do not trigger events, whereas the marker images always do. And you can choose how the shadow is attached to the image.

I had Firefox set to only images for the originating site only.

Works fine.

I can see the circles, and move them around, but the actual map/satellite background image is blank gray.

Seems like the same is going on over at chicagocrime.org, so maybe it’s Google and not just you. (Or maybe it’s me?) However, maps.google.com seems to be working just fine.

Anyway, you have a great site, and this was an interesting post. I’m going to have to figure out something fun to do with the google maps API now!

Restricting keys to a directory does seem annoying, but restricting them to meyerweb.com vs. http://www.meyerweb.com should really not be an issue. The reality is that you should be using Apache mod_rewrite to standardize the domain name of your URLs on the fly. This improves cacheing, and also can have a big impact on SEO (otherwise, your PageRank can be split in half between the two formulations). Admittedly, .htaccess files are black magic, but I dove into the syntax enough to make this blog post, which should be easily adaptable.

Note that the previous commenter should also be rewriting URLs to fix his problem as well.

One other small thing. It would be really nice to include a short descriptions below each psi rating: disintegration, light damage to residential structures, etc.

Thanks again for a great project.
