List of Localities and AdministrativeAreas

li.mikael.s...@gmail.com (igge) — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 13:40:57 UT

Hello,

Is it possible to obtain a list of all Localities within an
AdministrativeArea, and all AdministrativeAreas within a country?

If this is not possible through the google maps api, where is a good
place where to find this data?

Regards,

owainajo...@gmail.com (Owain) — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 13:14:52 UT

I am developing a site where I have a popup that displays a Google
map, using the Google AJAX API. I have tested this in IE6, 7, Firefox
2, 3.

It works fine except in Internet Explorer 6 the map directions will
not show up unless I have an alert after the function that sets the
directions. If you look at the code snippet I have included where it

vladimir.bedni...@gmail.com (Vlad) — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 08:15:01 UT

Hi All,

I am writing an app using GWT with a GMAP integrated into it. As I am
writing in Java instead of JS, is there a way to create a GMarker with
text labels instead of dots?

Basic question

moorma...@gmail.com (livetohike) — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 07:02:06 UT

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

Basic Question About Coordinate System

kiphug...@gmail.com (Map&EarthNewbie) — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 04:59:57 UT

coordinates used to describe this location? Couldn't it have been

Polygon rendering partially in Firefox but fine in IE6, IE7

keith...@gmail.com (kacific) — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 03:48:03 UT

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
partially (see map - it's the polygon on the left), the other displays

New style zoom slider

ste...@gmail.com (stec77) — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 21:11:34 UT

Hi,

When using Google Maps recently I noticed they've got a nice Web 2.0-y
curvy white slider for naviation, zooming, panning etc. But the one on
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?
