Thank you to those who so generously share their time in this forum to help others, including myself, up the learning curve. I have an eye out for questions that I may be able to answer to help pay the favor forward.
Now about browser detecting.... In v2 we had GBrowserIsCompatible(). In v3 we are on our own. Alas, what’s a poor v3 developer to do? Here’s the list of browsers officially support by v3: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/faq.html#browsersupport In addition, there appears to be some unofficial support for Opera. Here’s a link to the browser detect routine I wrote. It’s in php but could easily be ported to javascript. Please feel welcome to use it if it can help you. htttp://www.mappingsupport.com/forum_post/ browser_detect.txt My app displays a warning message if the user’s browser is not on the officially supported list and then the app tries to launch and produce the requested map. For more info on the murky world of browser detecting: http://www.zytrax.com/tech/web/browser_ids.htm http://www.quirksmode.org/js/detect.html And if you are curious, my app is called Gmap4 which I audaciously refer to as an enhanced Google map viewer.
