Google Maps V3 API Events for google.maps.Map Demo. This page lists all the events that can be triggered for the google.maps.Map object and shows when that happens, by highlighting the names to the right. Play around with the map and see what happens. For more information check the API reference. Map Events. ZMaps: Color your Map. Edit Google Maps KML file. Import a kml-file. Polygons are shown not filled - as polylines. Click 'Edit lines' and dragable points will be shown. The coordinates will be presented in the text area. To edit a line or shape, mouse over it and drag the points (click 'Edit lines' first). Click on a point to delete it.
The imported kml-file will not be affected. Copy and paste the new coordinates in the local kml-file. Templates I have stored polyline kml coordinates for islands, coastlines and lakes. If a coastline is part of the shape you want to create, you may use templates and build on themBuild Google maps polylines and polygons from templates Some of the available lakes are Aral Sea, Baykal, Black Sea, Caspian Sea, Great Bear Lake, Great Lakes (Erie, Huron, Michigan, Ontario, Superior), Great Slave Lake, Ladoga, Lake Winnipeg, Managua, Nicaragua, Onega, Titicaca, Vanern, Victoria This is a tool I use to edit kml files I have made for my Google API maps.
BESbewy. Developer Site. Leaflet. Vladimir Agafonkin announced that CloudMade have released Leaflet, a new open source JavaScript library for displaying map tiles as a slippy map. I've used OpenLayers up to now, so I thought I'd take a look at it. I have a love-hate relationship with JavaScript. It is great that there is a powerful language that runs in browsers, but the environment it runs in is horrible: DOM, various browsers supporting various features, a fiddly run-time that makes debugging horrible etc. Firebug helps. I decided that a reasonable test was to reproduce a slippy map page I already have to see how it works with Leaflet. That would help me compare with OpenLayers, but does run the risk of me using Leaflet in an OpenLayers way, which I hope I've avoided. My page needs to display a slippy map with markers on it. The first part seemed very easy: display a slippy map. Map.setView(hull,11); map.addLayer(osm); } That is a fairly simple piece of code to display a slippy map.

Tiles - not only for Smartphone Apps The OpenStreetMap project has its own free tile server for use by everybody. This offer is aimed mainly at those who contribute to OSM and want to see the results of their work, but also at the wider public to whom the project wants to demonstrate what is possible with its database.
One thing the project doesn't like very much though is people downloading tiles for later offline use. If this happens on a larger scale, software or users will be banned from the project's tile servers. It is often smartphone apps offering a "download for offline use" mode that are affected by this. Every zoom level adds four times more tiles than the previous level. That's why OpenStreetMap itself cannot offer unlimited free tile downloads, and if you are looking for an independent tile serving solution for your web site or your smartphone app, you have come to the right place.
