I suspect that the static maps use the same technology as Google Charts API Map Pins.
http://groups.google.com/group/google-chart-api/web/chart-types-for-map-p ins However, they're somehow not reliable when you use them as icons in the API. Sometimes they work, but sometimes the marker images just don't appear: http://econym.org.uk/gmap/example_chartpins.htm [I don't think I'm doing anything wrong in the code on that page, because sometimes they do appear. The markers are there because you can click on them (click near the "C" of "Caledon" or "Claringdon") it's just that the images somehow get replaced by "transparent.png"]. I guess if you want them to be reliable, you have to save a copy of the Google Chart images, and use the files copies rather than using them dynamically. -- http://econym.org.uk/gmap The Blackpool Community Church Javascript Team --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
