In the course of working on a still-unresolved problem which I'm not allowed to discuss in this forum, I've discovered an apparently undocumented feature of the Google Maps API, related to the GLargeMapControl and GSmallMapControl. Here it is:
Suppose that your Javascript invokes GLargeMapControl(), but the detectable vertical height of your map is insufficient to display that control nicely. Then the native code behind the API will automatically substitute a GSmallMapControl for the requested GLargeMapControl. The critical height is 310px - no substitution will occur if the detectable height is greater than that. The word "detectable" is critical here. You may think that the available vertical space should be sufficient, but the native code may not "see" all the vertical space that your eyes can see. For examples and more details, see http://www.gcna.org/data/atlas/maptest.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
