I would look at the static api.

need to load data from routes made in my maps

2010-01-06T03:02:08Z

Hi,
I read through bits of documentation but am still unsure of some
things. Briefly put here is what I intend to do:
I want to make some new maps in "my maps" (by making some routes, text
descriptions and placemarkers etc ) and then want to load all that
data programmatically in an iphone (and later on in an android)

Sort of like this site: [link] but
I'm making a Google Maps and Twitter mashup so static maps are no use.

You could also investigate using the static maps api. I don't use it,
but it might do what you want as well.

Why would you think you can't? It would be against the terms to
capture an image of the map and use that as the html "background", but
you should be able to load a map using the api and use normal css/html
to put anything over it you want.

Use Google Map as the background of a website?

2010-01-06T02:05:25Z

Any way to do this? Basically I just want to set the Map as the
background to the site and have divs on top of it.

Barry,
Thanks much for your insight. I read your comments in the Map Help
forum also.
When I pinged maps.google.com I got 74.125.155.147

Or the actual download not responding in a reasonable time?
You have reminded me I need to actually get the KJSON loading to be
ummm proper JSON loading (it will allow it to be loaded x domain)

In internet explorer you get a popup if the xml is bad is that the
kind of thing
you mean?

Lots of reasons I am sure, "feature bloat" comes to mind
Note I am supporting GML and a couple flavors of GeoRSS and GPX and
various
other things that serve my needs. Even if they had better side bar
support I might wrap
around and extend what they provided for some uses but ...I can
preview my geoxml without them

It's been intermittent for me. Sometimes it works, but mostly it
doesn't. Guess that could still be caused by one data center though.
I'm getting routed to 66.102.7.147 for maps.google.com atm.

Is there an event fired if GeoXml fails to load a file?

2010-01-06T00:18:15Z

I know that GeoXml (and eGeoXml) throws a "parsed" event on successful
instantiation. Is there an event on failure? If not, how would I write
one in?

Oops, just saw the answer-- that is what
"PolylineEncoder.prototype.dpE ncode" does.

I was hoping you'd chime in, Lance!
I must say how much I appreciate the work you have done on geoxml. It
was exactly what I wanted but definitely not something I could have
built. I do not understand why Google did not include the same kind
of functionality --considering there clear use of the sidebar on
