Sorry this is an odd one probably, not sure. I am about to start building a site which I guess is similar to a lot of the draggable markers examples you see like this (http:// www.mapmyrun.com/create_new) where you can select a custom marker and place it on the map, but I don't want to do the usual where you first click on a marker and then click on the map and that marker appears... I want the user to be able to pick up an icon from somewhere on the page and be able to drag that icon onto the map and then position it and interact with an info window.
I am just playing around with a mock up at the mo which is here (http://dev.profero.com.au/map/) but I am not sure I am heading down the right track and are seeking some advice. I have started to use Custom Controls for the initial icons that the user drags onto the map because I am able to position these via the dom rather than coords... if I could use markers then that would be easier I think but am I right in that you can only position them using coords? So what I have mocked up is 2 custom controls that you can pick up and drag onto the map. What I am then wanting to do is get the coord of the drop point and reset the controls and then add a custom draggable marker to that point... I am having trouble getting the coords of the draggable object once dropped.. is this even possible using a control or do I really need to try and use markers for the initial selection? scott. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
