Hi Mike,
Thank you so much for your reply, it makes a lot of
sense since i could not even seem to customize the markers on the
GGeoxml example. The feed is of all my latest panoramas on 360cities.
I like the idea of a relay server but is probably too complicated for
me, I will google it all the same.
I have another example where each marker is hand coded, I expect it
would work with that, but then I will keep on having to add code to
it.
Thanks so much for the interceptor example - great site by the way, it
helped me a few years ago, I seem to drift in and out of gmaps, I am a
photographer not really a coder and am always forgetting what I've
learned before.
is your inteceptor example global ?
I tried it here and added looping script http://bit.ly/8T6cpW
your global array code looks ace, could it work on the interceptor
example ?
Thank you very much Mike, really appreciate your time.
Best wishes,
tom
