Apologies in advance for my stupidity. I'm trying to add a map to a website with a My Maps KML overlay. A user will search for a city from a world map (or at least one showing U.S. and Europe, at this point) and it will zoom in and show the little icon, if one exist for that area.
I started out using LocalSearch: http://www.untourslocalexpert.com/testmap.asp --Loved suppressInitialResultSelection --Liked starting out with the whole world, then the search zooming in appropriately on the city searched for. --Hated the adsense ad that sometimes comes up - it was often for a company that competes with the company who owns this new venture and it overwrites a chunk of the map that we want people to see; these maps will be getting pretty crowded. --Don't like the position of the search bar; didn't like having it on the map. So I did the same thing using GSmapSearchControl. http://www.untourslocalexpert.com/test6.asp --I love the fact that there are no Adsense ads --I love the position of the search bar. --Hate that I couldn't get suppressInitialResultSelection to work. --I hate the fact that if I set the zoom to the whole world, it stays at that zoom when they search for a city. --I dislike the green arrow and the city arrow after a search (solvable by creating a new icon based on a single pixel transparent .gif but I removed that code to keep this simple.) --(Also, for some reaons, the KML file doesn't show up on the idle map, only the active one, but that's another problem altogether.) Is there a way to eliminate adsense ads and get the positioning of the control that you get with GSmapSearchControl, while being able to start with a world zoom and zoom in, and still use suppressInitialResultSelection like you can with LocalSearch? I hope that made sense. In the first example, the ads are the major issue. I have read and read and read and have a screaming headache. I'm probably missing something obvious. Would really appreciate some direction. Thanks for any help.
