Hi, I have been working on a new website using the new bicycling directions. The site is http://www.ibikemap.com . The site is primarily aimed at the iPad and PCs/Macs but I want it to be usable on the iPhone.
As some of you may already know, the iPad breaks just about every Google Maps API application out there. The things I have noticed is that it does not support Pinch to Zoom, Double Click Zoom, positioning is sometimes erratic. To get something usable on the iPad I made it work such that if you touch the map it will slew to that point. Other than that the map is pretty much static with the map controls (zoom, map/satellite/hybrid/ terrain) moved off the map and placed above it. I moved them off to reduce the amount of touching on the map. You would need an iPad to see this though since the site checks the User Agent String and formats according. Which brings me to this... In release 3 of Google Maps I think there is a need for disabling the Pinch to Zoom since it is not currently supported on the iPad. Who knows when or if the iPad will have the Pinch to Zoom feature and without it you pretty much have to move the controls off the map in order for the map to be usable. I'm assuming here that one does not want to dig into the touch API of the iPad. Anyone else out there have an iPad? I'd be interested in your thoughts. -Al -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
