2008-12-05T13:14:52Z

Hi All,

I am writing an app using GWT with a GMAP integrated into it. As I am

Basic question

The google maps page has a link "Get Directions" at the top left w/ an
href="#". This link causes the start/end fields to be displayed.

How do you get the directions page to come up already displaying the
fields where you enter start/end addresses; i.e. thus avoiding the
extra click.

Thanks

2008-12-05T03:48:03Z

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with the way the polygons are rendering. I'm
using a kml file from Google Earth (renamed as an xml file to allow
use of GXmlHttp). The xml test file has two polygons.

In IE6/IE7, both polygons display correctly. In Firefox, one displays

New style zoom slider

2008-12-04T21:11:34Z

Hi,

When using Google Maps recently I noticed they've got a nice Web 2.0-y

my site's still the dusty old grey blocky one. Does anyone know if
it's possible to use the new bouncy space-age one via the API? And if
so how?
