I've just placed at trunk.simile-widgets.org an alpha release of a new
version of the exhibit map extension with two significant improvements:
1. It uses version 3 of google maps (so no longer requires an api key)
2. When possible, it generates its icons itself (using javascript
canvas) instead of invoking our notoriously unreliable painter
service. The choice is made automatically.
The code needs cleaning but it is working on all of our standard
examples on firefox, ie, and chrome.
I would appreciate it if you could try it out on your own exhibits and
report bugs. This version of the extension should be compatible with
the released exhibit 2.2 on www.simile-widgets.org , so you just need to
change your link to the map extension to
http://trunk.simile-widgets.org/exhibit/api/extensions/map/map-extension.js
One annoying caveat: due to cross-site-scripting restrictions, if you
want the canvas rendering to work you need to serve any custom icon
images from the same site as the exhibit itself (or from a CORS enabled
web site).
