A comment on the update "No more support for Google tiles in Modest Maps" in Modest Maps:

Sounds like a great technique. Can you provide a little more detail on exactly what's required to get this working. Full code example would be ideal. – Mark Zeman, on June 01, 2009 08:38

Overlays not tweening

Not sure if I've missed something but when using TweenMap and an overlay the overlay doesn't zoom properly during the tween if the map isn't stage centre. It scales correctly but then jumps back into place when onEndZoom is called.

As a dirty fix I've added an extra refresh() into the onMapZoomedBy function in Overlay.as. Works fine but not sure if this adds too much of a performance hit by forcing a redraw at every tween step.

Using revision 752.


private function onMapZoomedBy(event:MapEvent):void {
polyCont.scaleX = polyCont.scaleY = Math.pow(2, event.zoomDelta);
refresh();
}

Be great so see a demo of this online without having to compile in Flex.

I'm still getting this problem as well. Account set to UTC+12 but when checking in there's no activity shown under today.

Google have released an Maps API for Flash.

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/docu...

Is there a way to tie in with the new API and make valid Google tile requests from Modest Maps.

Be great to get proper Google support in Modest Maps which is still a superior way to implement maps with multiple providers.

Best way to initialize map in specific location

What's the best way to load the map at a specific location?

calling map.init and then map.setCenterZoom results in a delay while the first set of tiles are loaded.

It would be great if map.init took a location and zoom level for the first load.
