showMarkers(map, sym, visible)now you can control the visibility of GPX markers
sample call:showMarkers(map_0, 2, false);hides allsym_2.pngicons - bugfix: kml multimap
I’d like to change the size of the map displayed (from 600px to 900px width); but can’t seem to find where to edit that?
- changing the map size is done by style command inside the ShortCode like
[map style="width:600px; height:900px;"]The style parameter must be css conform.
In full size mode there are some elements on top of my map, how can I hide this?
- Go to the plugins option-settings page and increase the full-size z-index as needed. (since V 1.13)
Full size doesn't use the whole browser screen. What is wrong?
- fixed sice V 2.14.
Google Chrome seems to have problems on full size?
- fixed (since V 1.13)
Is it possible to get several markes into one map?
- Yes, you can use gpx/kml files or google fusion tables
Can I use a marker together with a gpx or kml file inside the same map?
- Yes you can add one additional marker beside a GPX- or KML-file.
if you need more you can add markers as waypoints inside the gpx file like:
<wpt lat="51.36162" lon="8.3341" >
<name> put in something here! </name>
<desc> this will be displayd in an Infowindow. </desc>
<link href="http://www.wiki.org/"><text> link text </text></link>
<sym>0</sym>
</wpt>
The sym tag is used to display one of the images inside the plugins img-directory.<sym>0</sym>will showimg/sym_0.pngas markerimage.
I have to do translucent polygons. I have a gpx with closed roads but I have no idea how to make them translucent polygons.
- GPX format cannot store areas, use kml or convert it to kml.
Do your plugins allow a frontend user to plot a trail on a map and attach it to an article?
- yes, the Pro-version map editor can plot tracks and waypoints
Where to enter the Google API key?
- The plugin uses the new google V3 API, no key is needed.
