Dear Group,

I am totally lost, I almost read every related thread in this group
but my script stil doesn't work.

I create a marker by clicking one the map, a info window pops up and
inside is a link that allows you to remove the marker again.

I tried everything, but the script don't work. Online example is at
http://www.variouselmts.com/happytrees/

Code:

var markers = new Array();
var counter = 0;

google.load("maps", "2");

// Call this function when the page has been loaded

function initialize() {

var map = new
google.maps.Map2(document.getElementById("map"));
map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());
map.addControl(new GLargeMapControl());
map.setCenter(new google.maps.LatLng(40.717079, -73.98571),
12);
map.setMapType(G_SATELLITE_MAP);
map.enableScrollWheelZoom();

GEvent.addListener(map, "click", function(overlay, latlng) {

counter++;

var marker = new GMarker(latlng, {title: counter,
draggable: true});

markers[counter] = marker;

var markerbox = " Reply to this question

I see there is a 50,000 request/day limit for an individual key (roughly 1.73/second)

I just started playing around with the api today and have already been suspended.

I'm trying to get multiple driving directions at once. Is this not allowed?

Is there some way I can view my usage? It would be nice to know that I'm doing something wrong before I get blocked.

A fan of google maps and APIs, I have been waiting patiently for about a year and a half for satellite images of downtown Trondheim Norway to become available (Trondheim is the 3rd largest city in Norway). Outlying areas of the city have good maps, but the downtown and university areas are lacking. There seems to be some cooperation between Google Norway and Oslo, but nothing is happening in Trondheim, headquarters to Google Norway.

Map help says "information is added as it becomes available from our data providers". In Norwegian it states that: the data is delivered by NAVTEQ and TeleAtlas. Satellte images are from DigitalGlobe and MDA Federal. I am certain the imagery exists, and is available. Norkart and Trondheim Kommune have it.

Those areas of the city most interesting to visitors and tourists don't have the same detail of satellite imagery as the outying areas. This is both inconvenient and a detriment to the business community downtown. Most hotels can't be seen. Neither can the cathedral. The main campus of NTNU (Gløshaugen) with thousands of students and visitors is absent. A newspaper article was written months ago, and I waited patiently for a change. But no. (1) So how do we influence the imagery providers or Google Norway? (2) Is it just a question of Google Norway applying to Norkart for the data? (3) Is Norkart AS unwilling to share ?

Is there a way to see the "Hybrid" view that has been replaced by "Terrain?"

It ́s easy to sent a link to a Google Map via Gmail (although it would be really nice if Google would adopt a short url scheme for these kind of links, like: "maps.google.com/xxxxx")
.
But how do you sent an embedded Google Map via Gmail ?
Just a picture of the Google Map can be achieved via the Better Gmail firefox extension (which, amongst other nice things, enables HTML signatures), screenprint and Signature adjustments.

I haven ́t been able (yet) to make the Gmail signature field accept the Gmaps embed html
(It might be that the "iframe" statement is the cause and/or the length of the actual embedded html.)
Google should of course offer this, as an extra option, on their Gmaps page.

The example search for Google Maps has been "10 market st, san francisco" for as long as I can remember. I've always wondered if there's any special significance behind that particular address. I've asked a couple of Googlers I've come across, but no one knew. Maps shows it as at the corner of Steueart and Market. Just a random choice, or something meaningful in Google lore?
