Hi, when you pan a Google map with some points of interest outside the current map view, those POIs are drawn immediately when they get into the map view, i.e. during the panning. It is not so at the OL based maps. We do some event checking (plus putting hooks at some controls, as shown below) to force POI rendering (one way to force it is by calling the map.setCenter method). Is there a better way to do that, please?
Apropos, it looks that this behavior changes somewhat during OpenLayers development. // some hooks put inside to handle POI rendering OpenLayers.Control.DragPanMod = OpenLayers.Class(OpenLayers.Control.DragPan, { panMapDone: function(pixel) { OpenLayers.Hooks.DragPan.panMapDone(this); }, panMap: function(xy) { this.panned = true; this.map.pan(this.handler.last.x - xy.x, this.handler.last.y - xy.y, {dragging: this.handler.dragging, animate: false}); OpenLayers.Hooks.DragPan.panMap(this); }, CLASS_NAME: "OpenLayers.Control.DragPan" }); M. -- Martin Saturka Software Engineer, Sourcefabric www.sourcefabric.org _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list d...@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/openlayers-dev
