Hi, I have noticed that GDirections works according to the map data displayed (or that's my explanation for it anyway), which is a problem here because the normal map for Guatemala has very low detail but the Mapmaker tiles are actually pretty good (not perfect but good enough).
You can see the difference by searching directions from Coban (Alta Verapaz, Guatemala) to Rio Dulce (Guatemala) here: http://maps.google.com/maphp?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=15.24709,-90.274658&spn=2.008507,4.938354&z=8 (normal map type, puts destination in the middle of a lake and says can't calculate route) and here: http://www.google.com/mapmaker?ll=15.53573,-89.912109&spn=0.973803,2.422485&z=9 (mapmaker map type - plots destination correctly, doesn't really show the best route but still better than nothing) setting up the map type to display is easy enough, with: map.setMapType() map.addMapType () but it seems that using GDirections in a page (even with the map type set to mapmaker and the normal map removed), the API reverts to the normal map to retrieve directions data. I've looked through the documentation, but can't find anything that addresses this. Is there some way to force it to use mapmaker data when retrieving route info? thanks in advance... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
