Please have a look at the well known official Google Maps page and click the image that says "hide panel' on top of the left panel
http://maps.google.com The map will be resized to the left border of the browser window while the right (north-east) bounds of the map won't change. (I'm not interested in the animation itself here.) This can also be done the other way round - although probably not so well known http://maps.google.com/?hl=iw In this case if you click the image to hide the right panel, the map will be resized to the right border of the browser window while the left (south-west) bounds of the map won't change. So far so good. Now let's try the same with the Maps API. http://www.wolfpil.de/v3/east-resize-test.html This looks good because the map will be resized on the right hand side while the left (south-east) bounds of the map won't change. So let's try it the other way round http://www.wolfpil.de/v3/west-resize-test.html In this example you'll notice that the map behaviour is completely different: The map will be resized on the left while the right (north- east) bounds will be changed! This is stuttering, jumping behaviour because the center of the map will also be changed and the map bounds will be extended to the east although only the west bounds should be extended. So my question is: How to resize the map smoothly in every case? ~ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
