[1] http://julien.danjou.info/google-maps-el.html [2] http://git.naquadah.org/?p=~jd/jd-el.git;a=blob;f=org-location-google- maps.el;hb=HEAD Dear Julien I tried to use Google Maps extension. When I tried to load it, I found out that json.el was required. It seems that this package is included in recent emacs version (?). My version is GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2008-09-06. I loaded it but then I have another error telling that the function use-region-p doesn't exist. It seems that this function appears with emacs 23. So this mail just to tell that it seems necessary to have at emacs 23 to make this function work. Just one comment following previous mail. Just tried with emacs 23.2. It works very well on this version and it is really great. The bad thing is that this version of emacs is quite slow on Windows system. As far I understood it seems to be related to font handling. There is a lot of lag, the system freeze. So sadly I have to return to release 22.3.1 which is more robust. d.tchin ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Hi, cool stuff :)! Julien Danjou jul...@danjou.info writes: I'd be glad to have feedback. patches or ideas. ;) I found a minor problem: * Summary Zooming on map fails if not 'initialized' with z * Steps to reproduce - `M-x google-maps' - Location: `Statue of Liberty New York' Buffer Google-Maps is created, Statue of Liberty is displayed. - Press `+' - Message: `Current zoom level is unknown, cannot zoom in.' - Set a level with z: `M-1 M-5 z' - Zooms to level 15, `+' and `-' work as expected. * System - GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1) of 2010-06-19 on elegiac, modified by Debian - git show google-maps.el commit d4f4916b5c9bb37025e86fef079292bf1604cfb5 Author: Joseph Gay gilley...@gmail.com Date: Mon Jun 28 15:44:13 2010 -0500 It would be nice the initial zoom level of a map would be set right at the beginning.

The zoom level, if not specified, is determined automatically by Google Maps, and we have no clue about its value. Therefore you need to press 'w' (with an eventual prefix) to set a first zoom level. -- Julien Danjou // ᐰ jul...@danjou.info http://julien.danjou.info pgpLRyf3GUMml.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
