CloudNine -- Have you checked out the reference? http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/reference.html
For panning, try: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/reference.html#GMap2.panTo To insert A, B, C, D I would recommend reading more on dynamically adding elements to a page via Javascript, or taking a look at how that code you have works. In the code, a function is called when the search is complete and the results are written to the page. If you follow the logic, you can add A, B, C, D into the HTML before the results are put onto the page. -Ben On Feb 14, 4:46 am, CloudNine <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm trying to polish up an implementation of Google Maps as a sort of > international airport support directory for a free European flight > planning website I have in development (www.eurofpl.eu-- requires > quick registration), but I have just a couple non-critical elements I > need to figure out for the sake of usability and all-around > awesomeness... > > *** SOURCE CODE ***http://paste-it.net/public/b7be61c/ > > I've gotten this far just checking out example code, but I'm still a > fledgling programmer, having just taught myself a bit of php, MySQL, > and JavaScript over the past few months. > > http://www.holland.aero/site_example.jpg > > The image above shows it in action, kinda.
