Thanks for your replies. I am just getting back into this. Chad thanks for sharing your code. That may be an option for me going forward. I will have to rewrite some of the code because I have several other tiled layers and need to keep track of those in the stack as well. BTW... Your mobile campus map is really nice. It was one of the sites I looked at when I was putting together the mobile version of the hydromet data website at http://hydromet.lcra.org/mobile.aspx .
Tomfumb I do purposely add a timestamp to each of the requests in the API version 2 app. Since this is radar imagery those images update on the server at Iowa Mesonet every 5 minutes. So I don't want the browser caching the images for too long. In the version 2 app to do the animation I would load the images for 7 different time frames using map.addoverlay and then just show and hide them. I only allowed the loop to run for 5 minutes then removed all the radar images from the map using map.removeoverlay and then reload the latest set of radar images until someone animates the radar again. Kesuke to run the radar on http://hydromet.lcra.org toggle the Current Radar checkbox on the left and then click the Start Loop link. You may have to pan the map to a part of the country where there is precipitation falling. Any other thoughts are welcomed. Are there plans at Google to add show and hide to the version 3 overlayMapTypes? If so I have at least 2 years until version 2 of the API goes away. Might be best to wait for this.
