Ok, I think I figured out the meters thing, but what I'm noticing now is that the circle diameter is not accurate.
My cof parameter in the URL is in meters and when the circle is drawn, it appears to be larger than the parameter. Any ideas what the problem might be? http://grape.host56.com/map_it_3.htm?lat=+040.2735&lon=-076.884&cof=120 On Jun 4, 3:54 pm, Todd W <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm totally new to Google Maps API and could use some help.
