An entirely new inaccessible GControl is introduced which uses the new graphics. Also, map.google.com becomes slightly more efficient by using http://maps.google.com/intl/en_ALL/mapfiles/mapcontrols3d2.png for multiple purposes. That one file will contain the graphics for the new look GLargeMapControl, for inactive Pegman, and for the little arrows in GOverviewMapControl. Thus loading one file instead of four. In v2.138f maps.google.com uses http://maps.google.com/intl/en_ALL/mapfiles/mapcontrols3d.png [note "3d" not "3d2"] for its GLargeMapControl but uses http://maps.google.com/intl/en_ALL/mapfiles/mapcontrols2.png for the open and close arrows on GOverviewMapControl. That's a bit inefficient, since it ends up always loading both files. Whereas the API uses http://maps.google.com/intl/en_ALL/mapfiles/mapcontrols2.png for both purposes. In v2.139, maps.google.com will use http://maps.google.com/intl/en_ALL/mapfiles/mapcontrols3d2.png for both purposes, but the API will use http://maps.google.com/intl/en_ALL/mapfiles/mapcontrols2.png for the GLargeMapControl but use the GOverviewMapControl arrows from http://maps.google.com/intl/en_ALL/mapfiles/mapcontrols3d2.png thus making maps that use both those controls become slightly less efficient. -- 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.
