I'm the author of the DCist Metro system overlay mapplet, and have begun receiving messages from users complaining that it's stopped working. Alarmingly, they seem to be right!
I'm at a bit of a loss, however. The files remain accessible on the server (links below). The info window displays correctly when selected. There are no Javascript errors. Centering/zooming on the map works fine when initiated by clicking on a link in the info window. It's just that nothing is getting drawn. I apologize for posting to the group before I've been able to investigate the matter more thoroughly. However, since this mapplet is in use by a relatively large number of people; has been operating properly for a year and a half; and since there's nothing on the GMaps API blog that seemed to indicate a problem or relevant API change, I thought I'd post here and ask if anyone knows what could be happening before making time in the next week to really dig in. The Mapplet scratchpad unhelpfully says "information is temporarily unavailable" when I paste into it -- could remote XML fetching be down? Thanks in advance for any ideas or insight that you can share. http://maps.google.com/ig/directory?synd=mpl&pid=mpl&features=sharedmap,geofeed&backlink=http:%2F%2Fmaps.google.com%2Fmaps%2Fms%3Fie%3DUTF8%26hl%3Den%26msa%3D0%26ll%3D38.900652,-77.029953%26spn%3D0.267186,0.622101%26z%3D11&hl=en&gl=us&num=24&url=http://dcist.com/map/mapplet.xml&output=html http://dcist.com/map/mapplet.xml http://dcist.com/map/stations.xml --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
