[Luke (Google Employee)]

Hey everyone!

We've recently pushed out a new version of the API. See the list of
changes below:
http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/wiki/JavascriptMapsAPIv3Changelog

Changed Issues:
- Issue 1651: Added mousemove/mouseout/mouseover to the Map.
- Issue 2142: Options added to DirectionsRenderer for suppressing
overlays and changing marker/polygon styles.
- Issue 2148: Fixed polygon click event bug where latLng was
obfuscated to .Hk.
- Issue 2109: Fixed Navigation controls not rendering correctly in IE.
- Issue 2153: MVCArray.push() now returns the new length.

Noticeable Changes:
- Add opacity to ImageMapType.
- Fixed the bug where rightclick on a rectangle/circle was not being
fired.
- Info window's content events are no longer being removed on hide.

Please test and provide feedback.

Thanks!

Luke

Hi Luke,

So far I've not had any luck getting the mouse location in response
to the mousemove event. I have tried it this way:

google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'mousemove', reportLoc);

and this:

google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'mousemove', function()
{reportLoc(event);});

where reportLoc does this:

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function reportLoc(event) {
var myLoc = RoundTo(event.latLon.lat(),5) + ", " +
RoundTo(event.latLng.lng(),5);
document.getElementById('mapLoc').innerHTML = 'Location: ' +
myLoc;
}

and in both cases, I get an error that "latLng is not an object" in
the reportLoc function. What am i doing wrong here?

Thanks,

-Steve

Hi Luke,

Never mind. This does it:

google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'mousemove' ,function(event)
{var myLat = event.latLng.lat();
var myLon = event.latLng.lng();
var myLoc = "Lat: " + RoundTo(myLat,5) + ", Lon: " +
RoundTo(myLon,5);
document.getElementById('mapLoc').innerHTML = myLoc;
} );

//--------------------------------------------------
function RoundTo(myVar, numDP) {
myFactor = Math.pow(10, numDP);
return Math.round(myVar * myFactor) / myFactor;
}

putting the cursor location into this div:

<div style="padding:.3em; background-color: #324164; color:
white"><b>Cursor location: </b><span id="mapLoc"></span></div>
