Welcome to the instructions for the Interactive Map. The map is coded with JavaScript using the [http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/ Google Maps API] (v2), with custom code supporting rendering from XML. Please feel free to poke around the map, as we work to discover the meaning of the strings and pins. --[[User:Orne|Orne]] 15:24, 13 November 2006 (EST) |

I'm signing us up for Google Maps to start tracking some of the dots on the map. The code uses JavaScript, so I'm not sure if it is compatible with Wiki, but I won't know until I try. API documentation is [http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation here], FAQ documentation is [http://www.google.com/apis/maps/faq.html here] |

*I'm pretty sure the JavaScript won't work here by default (security risk), but post the JavaScript here when you get it and I'll try to get it to work. Nice idea. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 13:24, 11 November 2006 (EST)) |

The load function is where all the action happens. That's where you add the Markers, etc. From what I read, it appears that all of the editing needs to happen in that function. I'm going to try experimenting on my Comcast home page for a bit... --[[User:Orne|Orne]] 13:30, 11 November 2006 (EST) |

Welcome to the instructions for the Interactive Map. The map is coded with JavaScript using the Google Maps API (v2), with custom code supporting rendering from XML.
