Yes. They are offset by a fixed distance **on the screen**, defined by opt_dx and opt_dy (see below). > I do not know how to make a call to > mapOffset.addOverlay(new OffsetableMarker()); > with proper co-ordinates - can anybody come up with an example? Look in the documentation: // Create the offsetable marker // // GLatLng - mkrPoint the actual position to be marked // GMarkerOptions - mkrOpts the options for the marker // opt_color - color string for the offset line e.g. "#FF0000" or "" to use the map's default text color // opt_width - width for the offset line in pixels // opt_opacity - opacity for the offset line, 0.0 (transparent) to 1.0 (opaque) // opt_dx - x pixel offset for symbol, the same at all zooms // opt_yx - y pixel offset for symbol, the same at all zooms // // Bill Chadwick 2006 // // Events dragstart, drag, dragend and dblclick used internally // function OffsetableMarker(mkrPoint, mkrOpts, opt_color, opt_width, opt_opacity, opt_dx, opt_dy) So the arguments to "new OffsetableMarker(...)" are a GLatLng of the position, some {options} as specified for GMarkerOptions -- like the icon -- and some other arguments which define the properties of the indicator line. The only mandatory argument is the position. var om = new OffsetableMarker(new GLatLng(51,0)); -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
