Esa - sorry about that, the php bit bascially fills in the "from" and
"to".
Rossko - the panTo() does fail :( I tried that already.
Am I using the {preserveViewpoint:true} correctly like this:
sdir.load("from: a to: b", {'preserveViewpoint': 'true'});
You understood correctly. I just want to show a little map, with just
that step of the route on it.
But each mini_map should also have the direction on them, of course
there will only be a little part of the directions visibile.
Yes, the "from" and "to" are coming out of a DB, the user already
confirmed elsewhere where he wants to go.
So I fill in the from and to, then I show a big map (which works),
then I parse an XML file containing the information for each step
and show a list of directions (I have to do this with XML because JS
won't work everywhere), then I want to show a mini map
for each step, called by the function above "show_mini_map". That's
what I want to / have to do.
Basically, it's just like the google print page for driving directions
(link posted in first post). But I can't get those mini maps to focus
to the current step.
I hope you know what I mean now, sorry for being unclear.
Thanks.
