Utterly confused and frustrated...

[Chris]

Hopefully someone can try to help me understand what I'm just not understanding lol.  I'm trying to build our campus map here at the small college I work for - I've gone into google's map maker and started to build some of our campus buildings yadda yadda yadda, they show up if you search the college on google maps - but when I pull the same location in via the maps api - none of the buildings I've made show up rendering what I'm doing, pointless...  

Are the maps not the same?  I've made the changes in map maker a few weeks back, does it just take some time?  

I've searched and searched and can't seem to figure out just what is going on exactly, we had wanted to get this new campus map attached to our mobile website that is launching soon - but are now on hold until hopefully someone here can help answer what's happening?  

I've also started to look down the route to making a custom overlay of our current (pdf converted to an image) version of our campus map over the google map - this worked (sort of) until you start zooming in and then it all goes to heck - image gets all distorted.  I tried reading up more on custom overlays, but I'm just not finding much examples on how to do so - as I followed the one example the API offers.  Do I need to do something to prevent the image getting distorted?  

I know this post is kind of all over the place, but it's friday and im burnt out.

Thanks in advance!

Mapmaker map tiles are not yet available in v3 Maps API
outstanding feature request from 15 months ago
http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=2349

You can get mapamker tiles in V2 API in the interim

Once you see the buildings and roads you've added in regular map tiles (maps.google.com) -- not MapMaker, they'll make their way to the API shortly after.
