marker setPosition() blinking

[frogmaster]

This suddenly started yesterday. You can see the effect in
http://tracker.viiret.ee. I believe this is a bug in v3, but i'm not
quite sure. Most evident in firefox, not so much in chrome, but still
visible.
Could someone confirm, if it's my mishap or not... Thanks.

I get an error when I click on any of the markers

Error: v_id is not defined

They are not supposed to do anything any more, when clicked, but
thanks for noticing the error. The issue presents itself when play is
pressed...

I am having a similar issue, I had narrowed it down to me switching the image or repositioning, but if its just the repositioning that helps me narrow down the issues.

I have a similar playback feature for showing a driving route and have recently moved from v2 to v3 of the API and have the same issue you are having.  I only change the image if the heading is 15 degrees different than the previous heading and then reposition the image and I too am getting a constant "flicker" effect.

I have the same problem, but found a way to resolve it temporarily.
We can use an older version of the API, so I tried to use v3.0 instead
of v3.1.
As it turns out, it worked for me with marker movement now being
smooth.

This is done by adding the v=3.0 request in the API call, like this
(in my case):
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?
v=3.0&sensor=false"></script>

Best regards,

Hi,

I also have the same problem. I am moving a marker about in a map and
it blinks a lot. If the speed is slow enough it becomes invisible with
rare appearances.
It worked well two weeks ago and the problem started sometime last
week.
It must have coincided with the new release.
Should we report this to someone?

Best rgeards,

AV

That's odd b/c it appears to be working fine on mine, even if I bump up the update rate to 4x what was causing a flicker last Friday.

How complex is your set position part?  Mine's like this:

VehiclePosMarker.setIcon(tempString);

VehiclePosMarker.setPosition(point);

And doesn't appear to be flickering at all.

[Nathan Raley]

Actually nevermind, it is still doing it.

I forgot when I compiled my program and had the link to the html element I was testing the new api with I had not saved it and closed out of it when I went home for the weeked.  It was loading the old page using api v2.

Hey guys,

We are aware of this and it should be resolved soon.

Thanks for the update, I was having a field day trying to figure out what was triggering this error.

Appreciate it,
