[Copying from a thread on the non v3 group] The background is that I'm writing a custom map type that can be overlayed on an existing map type. However, I need to convert the tile coordinates into lat/lng. This needs a MapCanvasProjection object, but they are hard to come by.
The documentation on MapType is pretty limited. I need the current projection (to convert tile coords back into latlng). This is listed as a property of the MapType, but it certainly isn't being set (by the time that the first getTile method is called). [Also, I note that the type of projection property is probably wrong in the documentation as well]. So I thought I would just grab the projection from the current map type being displayed. However the mapTypes on the main map is a MapTypeRegistry and even though the getter method is probably 'get', I can't figure out the argument to get the current (or any) MapType. In particular, map.mapTypes.get(map.getMapTypeId()) returns null. Philip -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
