When I first started developing for Google Maps over a year ago, terrain/physical maps did not display labels (place names, etc.), at least as I used them. Then, last fall, probably coincident with the enhancements released then, I suddenly noticed labels appearing. I didn't care for that as they are irrelevant for my application and just clutter things up.
More recently, maybe a couple of weeks ago, the labels disappeared again ... nearly. For example, the dashed lines that reach from the smaller US states out to the point in the ocean where the state name or abbreviation should appear were there, but no text. I can't remember if they were there before last fall. Now, perhaps since yesterday, text is back. I have searched the docs and do not find anything about the text being optional. In fact, searching this group reveals several assertions that "the tiles are the tiles", that they're images, and that's that. Still, this behavior reminds me of uninitialized variable problems. The zoom level doesn't matter ... when the text is/was there, it's there at all zoom levels (and of course you get more labels on higher zoom levels), and when it wasn't, there wasn't any text at any zoom level. site: www.propnet.org/catch3.php and the javascript is in www.propnet.org/catch.js The zoom level for the default map is 4, but that didn't seem to matter. My usual browser is Firefox 3.5.7, and I cannot assert that IE tracks the text/no text behavior as I rarely use it. OS is XP SP3. Any ideas? In fact, can anyone confirm that I didn't imagine all this? If labels are suppressible, I would like to do that.
