Cheers Larry. I've figured out out to do it with API V2. See it working here: http://www.rjt-online.com/shows_new_test2.php
The problem is, since I figured that out, I thought I would try my hand with API V3 for the Streetview functionality. Now the code I have added in my buttons doesn't work (the "onclick: map.setCenter" etc.). Any idea of a simple alteration I could make to use it with V3? Here is my page with my V3 code - http://www.rjt-online.com/shows_new_test3.php Thanks On Jun 21, 10:10 pm, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: > On Jun 21, 1:36 pm, CWR2010 <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Thanks for the help Larry. > > > I worked through those tutorials earlier and attempted to get it up > > and running, which I did (with a sidebar). > > > How would I go about using my current buttons (the lines that say > > Cotherstone Village Hall etc) to setCenter on the markers, rather than > > a sidebar? > > Look at how those tutorials work.
