alright so, since posting I've tried my hand at this and the code seems different. I'll just re-establish things in a clearer way.
I've generated a set of 256x256 tiles from a very large image (approx. 7000x3000) . the file naming convention is tile-ZOOM-X-Y.png. getting the google maps api to display these tiles as a base map wasn't difficult. the things I'm trying to accomplish now is figuring out how to center the map based on a pixel coordinate of the original image (i.e. the 7000x3000 unsplit image) mapped to the tiled google map. a second thing I'd like to figure out is how to stop the map from going into areas that tiles don't exist. if this has to be controlled by a constant, that's fine. i.e. if I have 50 tiles width-wise, I don't want it to move past the 50th tile, or past the 0th tile. same with the vertical. I've put a conditional in the getTileUrl that just checks if coord.x (or y) is less than 0, but internally the google map still thinks it's in the negative range. I can't imagine moving back into the the positives will do any good with that conditional in place. I've read the API reference and the tutorials and none of it seems very clear to me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
