Hi all; I feel like this is a simple thing but I've spent a few days on it and can't get it. I've created a geocoded map that pulls locations from a Google Docs Spreadsheet. There are over 1,200 points and will probably get up to about 2-3k when we're done. To make it less cumbersome and quicker loading I'd like to do either one of two things:
PREFERABLE: 1) Have one page with a text field so a user can type in their address or zip and it will bring them to the map on the next page zoomed in on their area. I figure a stand alone (not embedded) map would be the easier way of doing and passing the address as a variable in the URL but can't figure out how to break the custom geocoded map out of the embedded page. Very open to a variation of this if there's a simple solution. OR (this is probably easier) 2) Have the local search box on the map with all of the points so someone can just type in their address and go to that place. Problem here is load time and how daunting the page looks but if this is the only way to go then I have no problem with it. The problem: I have a geocoded page with all of the points but I can't add the local search to it. When I tried out this example: http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/localsearch/default.html from this page: http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/localsearch/index.html I get a map with the local search bar but the markers won't show up: http://petp.info/testing/map.html Otherwise this is how the page looks without the local search bar but the points won't show up: http://petp.info/testing/map.html Anyone have a solution as to either why my map won't show the points or how to get the first search option working? Thanks a ton! -Jack PS. I've checked out some of resources mentioned on here including: http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2007/04/map-list-of-locations-from-google.html - how I built it http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/localsearch/index.html - example of the local search box http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/localsearch/default.html - the example I based the local search box on http://econym.org.uk/gmap/ - great resource but didn't see anything about adding search. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
