maybe you could have something like
var latlng = new google.maps.geocode (1300 Main st, Town, State);

or perhaps use the geocode info and covert it to latlng.

Maybe the new map API from CloudMade is also worth a try, since it’s having some new and very useful features.

My favorite is the possibility to customize the look of the map, so it can be optimized for routing, walking, sightseeing etc. You can see some examples here: http://tips4php.net/2010/05/watch-your-back-google-here-comes-cloudmade-maps/

I use the attribute tag position:relative, and width-height a specific value width:480px; height:465px is not width:40%

A other problem is the property option of the function Map()
is visible:boolean, both you can use setVisible(visible:boolean) after call th function Map()

I’ve been trying to test v3 but so far I’m not getting a map to display, and the only conclusion I can make is that it’s because I’m testing it on localhost.

Thanks a lot,

function initialize() {
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 8,
center: myLatlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById(“map”), myOptions);
}
initialize();

Try adding css rules for height and width to the div:

thanks,

function initialize() {

var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(57.8, 14.0);
var options = {

zoom: 6,
center: latlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};

var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById(‘map’), options);
}

Gabriel, just one thing. I don’t need to pass center(at least) to the map initialization. This could be done using map.set_center (but yes, it’s necessary).
