My maps have a specific purpose -- to locate churches (from our own database) and show information about them. POI icons might be useful to provide a point of reference on the map, but they are a distraction if they are active. They are not active in the existing version 2 map, and so if and when these are converted to Version 3 making them active may well confuse users, who are accustomed to the icons' not being interactive. This is one of the stumbling-blocks over conversion to Version 3. I've no reservations in principle about conversion to Version 3, but major detrimental changes to functionality need to be addressed. I need the Version 3 maps to behave like Version 2 (apart from acceptable cosmetic effects like square corners in infoWindows). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
