Hi Alex

Busy with my college work at the moment, but will be free again come end of June/July

Hi Alex

Appreciate I need to pull my thumb out on this one. Will try and pull something together.

minimap replied on April 08, 2009 19:02 to the question "Minmap User Customization" in Minimap:

Hi Alex

At the moment, afraid not without digging behind and changing some of the code.

Would be a good thing to add though, i'll get on it with a view to having it in place early summer.

However, having said this you could export them all as a .gpx file, and take a look around the app store to see if there is anything that supports importing waypoint .gpx files.

minimap replied on March 29, 2009 23:13 to the question "Accessing titles/address from another PC or iPod Touch" in Minimap:

There is currently no way to access the address list items from an iPod touch/iPhone, everything is stored locally on your pc.

Hi Arnold

I actually put the framework for this in quite early on in minimap but never got round to implementing it.

I am totally busy at the moment, but have set aside early summer to go over minmap, and will look to add this in.

cheers, tony

Shift click or control click all the entries in the addresslist to select multiple items to delete, then delete using delete key or right click and select delete.

minimap replied on March 02, 2009 22:02 to the problem "I'M MOT IN CHINA" in Minimap:

I need to try and bottom out what is going on here, so forgive if you have done all this:

When you drag and drop the address, or add it by using the add address toolbar button (minimap sidebar, top right), does that come up in china as well?

If so then it is a problem with the Google geocoder and outwith my control. You can help minimap out a little by tweaking the geocoder used. Default is maps.google.com, but you can go to minimap's options and change to your locale, for example maps.google.es

If it adds ok to the addresslist, and clicking on the addresslist item pans to correct place, then make sure to right click on the addresslist item and choose set as default address and set as map home from the context menu, rather than manually inputting.

minimap replied on March 02, 2009 08:35 to the problem "I'M MOT IN CHINA" in Minimap:

Are you confusing default address with home address? The two are different.

minimap replied on February 10, 2009 18:11 to the idea "Directions via public transportation" in Minimap:

Hi Kira

Can you give me an example website?

The trouble s I see it though, is that specific transportation sites tend to be focused around a city, so the context menu could get pretty long if I added one for all cities, although maybe it could be set via a parameter.

minimap replied on February 01, 2009 22:09 to the question "minimap and other addons keep displaying their homepages or ask to agree conditions every time when starting firefox" in Minimap:

Hmm, OK, lets try something else

Go to about:config and set gmaps.extensions.0.3.9 to false.

If it is already, then a a bit lost as to what is going on

minimap replied on February 01, 2009 21:50 to the question "minimap and other addons keep displaying their homepages or ask to agree conditions every time when starting firefox" in Minimap:

Hi Susan

Check in your preferences that your homepage has not been set to the addons welcome page accidentally.

minimap replied on December 14, 2008 21:11 to the question "default country search" in Minimap:

Did you set the right geocoding locale e.g. "maps.google.es" ??

minimap replied on December 09, 2008 19:33 to the question "minimap and other addons keep displaying their homepages or ask to agree conditions every time when starting firefox" in Minimap:

Sorry to hear that, it has certainly not been designed to do that. Minimap is designed to show you that page whenever you upgrade so that you know what has changed. It shows once, then goes away until the next upgrade.

It would seem that, given it effects other addons as well, that there is a problematic addon that is affecting all the others (I am 99.9% sure it is not Minimap as this is the first time I have heard of such an issue), or you accidentally set your home page to all these welcome pages?

minimap replied on November 27, 2008 20:21 to the question "mini map gray and google search inactive" in Minimap:

So are you saying you have a blue marker but that the map is grey?

Also, right clicking in the map or the grey lat/lng box does not have anything anyway, so nothing wrng with that.

minimap replied on November 26, 2008 19:18 to the problem "Problems with minimap and javascript in twiki" in Minimap:

Hi Dolt

It would appear that the geoDiscovery part of Minimap conflicts with twiki tables. I have tried to namespace my code as much as possible to avoid conflicts with websites, but I have no control of the sites javascript.

In the upcoming 0.3.9 release, users will be able to turn off geoDiscovery in the options, which will allow you to use twiki tables.

Cheers, Tony

minimap replied on November 20, 2008 19:05 to the question "Programmatically launching the minimap" in Minimap:

Hi Rob

That's by design, as I say in last comment. If the href points to maps.google, maps.yahoo or maps.live then the context menu will show as it is a supported link type. If the href points to a non mapping site, then it will not show.

If you select text, then it will show Locate: xxxx, or if no text or link is selected, it will just allow you to open up minimap.

minimap replied on November 20, 2008 00:39 to the question "Programmatically launching the minimap" in Minimap:

Hi Rob

The right click menu is designed not to appear if you right click on an unsupported map link, or is just not showing at all?

minimap replied on November 10, 2008 23:27 to the problem "Minimap Sidebar does not close in Firefox 3" in Minimap:

Hi Jeffo

This issue was fixed in 0.3.8 which has just been pushed to AMO. If Firefox has not polled AMO yet for you, go to tools -> addons, scroll down to Minimap right click and check for updates.

Cheers, tones

Hi, sorry about delay in getting back to you, been away.

The searchbox has just been redesigned slightly, click on the magnifying glass to the right of the google logo.
