jsapi for google maps v3?

[Don Park]

i think the jsapi approach to loading javascript is a great idea but
its not working for google maps v3.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></
script>
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("jquery", "1.4");
google.load("maps", "3");
</script>

it complains that the 'sensor' value needs to be specified but im not
sure where to specify it. ive tried various incantations of
google.load with no success. help!

thanks,
Don

Yeah, this is a tricky one. It's not noted in the documentation anywhere that I've seen except one place on the issue tracker. So here's the solution:

google.load('maps', '3', {other_params:'sensor=[true|false]'});

Of course, you need to pick whether you want true or false in the sensor param, but that's it. There is a major documentation update coming very soon, and I'm hoping that it will be included in there.

Just to be complete: if you want more "ohter_parameters" like
"language" you can add them like you would on a call to an url:
google.load('maps', '3', {other_params:'sensor=false&language=nl'});

Though unfortunately not yet mentioned in Maps API v3 (non-Premier)
documentation, the "other_params" property is mentioned in the Loader
documentation, Maps API Premier documentation, and Maps API v2
documentation.

.

typically only supported by a particular API (and usually very
specific to the API). If you would typically send in a parameter by
via a script tag for an API, you can send it in other_params
instead. ..."

.

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/premier/guide.html#CommonLoader

> google.load("maps","3", {"other_params": [...] });

.

Alternatively you can load the API dynamically via script element.
For v3:

function apiLoaded() { ... }

var script = document.createElement("script");
script.type = "text/javascript";
script.src = "http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?
v=3&callback=apiLoaded&sensor=false";
document.body.appendChild(script);

omr,

After reading the documentation you linked to, it would appear that
ability to load version 3 of the Google Maps API via JSAPI is
available only to premier members. It says you must include your
client ID.

To load Maps v3 via the JSAPI, use this call:

google.load('maps','3',{other_params:'sensor=false'});

omr was simply noting that it's in the Premier docs, which are separate and distinct from Maps API v3 docs (which don't mention it).

Sorry if my previous reply confused anyone.
