Thanks a lot. This is a great tool. I am able to use it. I have one issue when using it with an map that does have the dragging capability (map.disableDragging()). This tooltip code somehow overrides it. Do you have any idea how to disable the pan icon to prevent the dragging from happening. Thanks

Hi,
I am glad to find this tooltip.
But I have the same problem as No.5.
It works for simple polygon. but I count not work out with polygon array.
I am looking forword to hearing any advice.
Thank you.

Tyler: I’m glad to hear that you find it useful.

I suggest that we file a bug report to the Google Maps API. It would be sweet if they could fix that so that it works in newer versions of the API.

Even with 50 polygons it still works like a charm – as long as we stick to v2.149

It’s actually not your script – it a appears to be bug in the latest API.

I already had this exact same problem when simply trying to use the following single line in the mouseover event: polygon.style.cursor = “pointer”;

I tried version 3 and the problem is still there.
So it looks for now, like we’re stuck with 2.149.

Any progress on getting your tooltips working beyond version 2.149? Many useful new features have been added to maps api. Up to version 2.172 and 3.11…
Thanks though!

LOVE THIS, but can’t get it to work!!!!

I really want to use this code and cannot figure out how to implement it into my code…I took over some javascript duties and am still pretty new. I tried to paste my code into this window and it’s a total mess!! If you’re not too busy, maybe I could send you my code and you could give me a pointer on how to use your code with mine. I would be so thankful!!!!

Nice job bro… but unfortunately i cannot use it in v3…..the tooltips displays unconsitently… with large number of polygons.. some time even more than one tooltips shows when the number of polygon is high……hope you will try in more than 10 polygons and fix the bug as soon as possible….
thanks

hi,
congratulations for this library !
its work fine when i use “tabloPolyline= new GPolyline(pts,colour,width);”
but i have this warning when i try to use it with an array of polyline (ie 8, ff):
“tabloPolyline[a] = new GPolyline(pts,colour,width);”

Message : ‘__e_’ a la valeur Null ou n’est pas un objet.
Ligne : 313
Caractère : 28
Code : 0
URI : http://maps.google.com/intl/fr_ALL/mapfiles/149f/maps2.api/main.js

Dave: The problem you’re experiencing is due to that Google is changing the API. I thought that running version 2.151 I would be safe, and yesterday when I checked it worked, but today it doesn’t. I tested again right now and now it seems safe to run version 2.149 or below of the API. I have updated the example accordingly.

Naturally I need to find a way around this issue so it’s possible to run the latest version of the API, but so far I haven’t come up with a solution.

Thanks for noticing!

Something strange is happening in the demo. The marker works as expected, but the polyline and polygon don’t show the tooltip until the cursor leaves the item of interest.

Great! I was looking for something like that for quite a while.

This is great! If you’re interested in adding it to the utility library, send me an email.
