I am in the process of migrating the following site to version 3 of the Google Maps API:
http://hydromet.lcra.org I am mostly there except for a few things. One thing I am stuck on is getting the radar to animate. From the above url if you turn on Current Radar on the left and then press the link that says 'Start Loop' you can see the radar animate. This works in version 2 by loading 7 sets of radar images as GTileLayers. Then using setInterval in javascript to show and hide the tilelayers. This seems to work really well because all of the images remain in memory and are hidden and shown instantaneously. I have been trying to do something similiar with ImageMapType in version 3 using overlayMapTypes.insertAt and overlayMapTypes.setAt but the application goes back out to the server to retrieve the new tiles each time and the animation doesn't work so well. Any thoughts on a good way to get this to work? Or should I wait on additional functionality in the API? Thanks for any assistance!
