OK, I've been looking into this further and something somewhere doesn't make sense.
The marker icons are also loaded directly from within the KMZ file and they load when using the demo Google Maps API, yet the images that should go in the balloons don't. For example the url in the generated page on Google Maps for the marker icon and for one of the photos are /mapsatt?id=http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~mark/blog/blog_files/journeys/ to_work.kmz&f=camera.png /mapsatt?id=http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~mark/blog/blog_files/journeys/ to_work.kmz&f=p13.jpg When using the demo app the two urls are the same. The problem seems to arise in that the resolution of these URLs is done differently. On Google Maps they both get expanded to http://maps.google.com/mapsatt?id=http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~mark/blog/blog_files/journeys/to_work.kmz&f=camera.png http://maps.google.com/mapsatt?id=http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~mark/blog/blog_files/journeys/to_work.kmz&f=p13.jpg yet when using the GGeoXml demo they get expanded to http://maps.google.com/mapsatt?id=http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~mark/blog/blog_files/journeys/to_work.kmz&f=camera.png http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/mapsatt?id=http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~mark/blog/blog_files/journeys/to_work.kmz&f=p13.jpg So for some reason the marker icon is being resolved correctly to load from the KMZ file referenced through the google maps servers where as the image is being resolved against the server hosting the API demo. I'm guessing that this is definitely a bug in the Google Maps API code. As I haven't played around too much with the API yet (read some of it but not tried writing any code), is it possible to access the html generated by GGeoXml? If so a script could be run to fix these URLs after the KMZ file had been loaded. I might start digging in and writing some code to see if this is doable until a permanent fix appears in a later version of the API. Hope that sheds some light on the problem for other people. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
