Hi,
I guess that's ultimately the issue - Exhibit is primarily a mode of
cutting out extraneous results, and the map interaction reflects that
paradigm. I can see why the Google Map paradigm of maintaining the
option space while highlighting the target is appealing, but I suspect
the more general case of hovering on facets where several targets would
require highlighting wouldn't make for a good UI.
For your specific case, I guess you'll have to write some code. Generally:
$("#city .exhibit-facet-value-link").bind("mouseover", function(evt) {
var a = ""; // get your map view component map ID here; in Exhibit2,
// this changes every time you reload the page; see
// exhibit._componentMap
var city = $(this).attr("title");
var subject = exhibit.getDatabase().getSubject(city, "city");
var marker = exhibit._componentMap[a]._itemIDToMarker[subject];
google.maps.event.trigger(marker, "click");
});
In addition to filling in details on how to acquire "a" above, I suspect
you'll want to make some UI refinements.
