I see the problem in FF2. Only shadows appear. Image fetches like - http://www.google.com/chart?chst=d_map_pin_letter&chld=%20%7C00FF00%7C000000 fail with Firebug reporting a '400 Bad Request' Pasting the URL in the browser address bar shows it up okay, as will refreshing the map afterwards. This appears to be the same issue as - http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Maps-API/browse_thread/thread/f2100babd6c8a831/ff45953d21d82a41?lnk=gst&q=chart+marker#ff45953d21d82a41 It seems like the Chart API simply doesn't create the image quick enough to be used dynamically in this way, I'd guess some process times out at the Charts server before image creation is complete. Next time you hit it, it's already cached server-side. It gets discussed in the Charts API group also, example - http://groups.google.com/group/google-chart-api/browse_thread/thread/fb3f34907b634bfa# http://groups.google.com/group/google-chart-api/browse_thread/thread/747768bfd6118648# http://groups.google.com/group/google-chart-api/browse_thread/thread/49a2c57383ea0d82# To be honest they don't seem to have much idea either, but there is a suggestion in - http://groups.google.com/group/google-chart-api/browse_thread/thread/5f76b59b8fa18313# "If you replace www.google.com for "http://chart.apis.google.com/"; your example works perfectly" This appears to have fixed it for the chap who reported it here in this maps group, unfortunately he didn't bother reporting his fix back here as well. If that doesn't sort it, you might have to host your own static images for your purpose as a workaround. cheers, Ross K --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
