Talk:The map

Interactive Map

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. Please feel free to poke around the map, as we work to discover the meaning of the strings and pins. --Orne 15:24, 13 November 2006 (EST)

Adding Content

If/when new pushpins are revealed in the show, please communicate the new information here, and I will incorporate them into the XML file as soon as possible.

Data Format: Please include the following detail items if/when you request new content to add to the map

• Marker: 'Marker Name' as text, 'Latitude' as numeric, 'Longitude' as numeric, 'Color' as text, optional 'HeroesWiki page' as text
• Line: 'Start Marker' as text, 'End Marker' as text, 'Color' as text

The Line will be drawn from the Start Marker to End Marker in a West to East direction

Finding Lat/Long Numerics: Left click on the map at the desired location at the map, and the API will create a new marker on the map. Left click the marker and copy the Lat/Long from the information pop-up window.

Request to Add Content

Enter data to this section; items will be removed if/when they are added to the map.

Overlappng pictures

If I were better at formatting, I would take care of this myself ... The picture of the map and the gallery are running into each other on my browser ... Can someone fix this? Thanks! Ryangibsonstewart 00:13, 29 November 2006 (EST)

• Done. For future reference, you can fix this by sticking <br clear="all"> before the opening <gallery> tag. --Hardvice (talk) 00:17, 29 November 2006 (EST)
  • Yeah, that one rocks! Thanks - you're so helpful! Ryangibsonstewart 00:31, 29 November 2006 (EST)
