Is it possible to retrieve driving directions with Yahoo AJAX Maps
API? If so, please can somebody share a code snippet or point me to
the documentation ?

If not, is there any other way of retrieving them?

hi there
im just starting to use yahoo Api's and
i would want to know if is possible todo
maps search in java.
i've tried use a url class
but the search result is a strange string

my SimpleSearch.java is:

String request = "http://api.maps.yahoo.com/ajaxymap?v=3.8&appid" +
               					 "=SmP9SJrV34EKTzI3NyOZnM5EzWrd0Q4zl5gEE60GXeWpiPQt" +
               					 "unuNvgIwY9fVkFTMytJn4zEXgyU-";
                try {
                        URL url = new URL(request);
                        InputStream in = url.openStream();
                        byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
                        int len;
                        while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
                                for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
                                        System.out.print((char)buf[i]);
                                }
                        }

Hi,

I took the example on the AJAX maps page where it says:

"You need at least one div container in which to place the map. Here,
it's called "map". By default, the map will expand to fit the size of
the div container. You should provide a height and width for the div
container or else the map may not size as expected."

Since I want to show my page in standards mode, I added a doctype to
it so that I got the following code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
   <head>
     <script type="text/javascript"
src="http://api.maps.yahoo.com/ajaxymap?v=3.8&appid=VvzHd8rV34GF1BoZV2QiN5cqGxra\
x0dBCF5RnIhTci06M_AEQFfn6EfiKmxf_Q--"></script>

     <style type="text/css">
       #map{
         height: 75%;
         width: 100%;
       }
     </style>
   </head>

   <body>
     <div id="map"></div>

     <script type="text/javascript">
       // Create a map object
       var map = new YMap(document.getElementById('map'));

       // Add map type control
       map.addTypeControl();

       // Set map type to either of: YAHOO_MAP_SAT, YAHOO_MAP_HYB,
YAHOO_MAP_REG
       map.setMapType(YAHOO_MAP_REG);

       // Display the map centered on a geocoded location
       map.drawZoomAndCenter("San Francisco", 3);
     </script>
   </body>
</html>

This code produces a map of size 400x400 pixels, despite setting the
width and height. I also tried the following:

<div id="map" style="width: 100px; height: 75%"></div>

but that produced the same effect.

Can anyone tell me how I can get the correct behavior in standards
mode for this?

It would also be good to know how the ajax map actually calculates the
space that it needs. Where, for example, does the 400 pixels come from?

Hi guys, I'm having a problem trying to show a map from within a webpage.

The webpage is a detail page showing office center's information, the
information is called and displayed through an ajax function that
calls another php file...

the problem is when you select to view the map, it only show the blank
div but not the map, but when I put the javascript code inside the the
main php it shows flawlessly, Is this has something to do with the api
key?

here's the code:

main php:

<script type='text/javascript'
src='http://api.maps.yahoo.com/ajaxymap?v=3.8&appid=f.k_40PV34GQsXxKH3FtjHgQ.q9E\
hO..zgipI0U_7N6.DRspGaudelKR.E1cl1i.6g--'></script>

on the secondary php (called from ajax function) is this code:
case "map":
     $resultInfo = "<h2>Map</h2>";
$yahooString = <<<EOF
<div id="ymap">
  <script type="text/javascript">
 	 // Create a map object
	 var map = new YMap(document.getElementById('ymap'));
	 // Display the map centered on a geocoded location
	 map.drawZoomAndCenter("San Francisco", 6);
</script>
EOF;
$resultInfo .= $yahooString;


btw the files are located
main php: root folder 'center.php'
secondary php on '/classes/centerProcess.php'

this is an example page:
http://test.pbcenters.com/center.php?cid=111

any help or directions would be greatly appreciated...

Hello All,

I have been using Yahoo AJAX maps for a few months but am still
learning.  I would like to find out if there is a method available
that will return the YGeoPoint (latitude and longitude) of a Ymarker?
  I create my Ymarker's using the address of a point (street, city,
state, zip) and do not have the initial latitude and longitude.  There
are some subsequent things I would like to do on my maps which require
the latitude and longitude of my markers.

I have seen the example where the Latitude and Longitude of the
position of the mouse when it is clicked is displayed in Ylog, but I
can't figure out how this could be incorporated using Ymarker.  I have
experimented using YCoordPoint to return the x,y position of each
marker but these values do not appear to be correct.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm able to load markers via GeoRSS, but a few things are missing from

Each of my items look like this:

     <description></description>

     </ymaps:ExtraImage>
</item>

Yahoo Maps GeoRSS specification:
http://com4.devnet.re3.yahoo.com/maps/georss/index.html

1.  the ExtraImage shows up with the correct title, but doesn't link

2.  the ExtraLink doesn't show up at all.

Is there a problem with my GeoRSS xml, or are these bugs?

Maybe I am missing something, but an overloaded YGeoPoint method is

Hello,

I've been using the Yahoo Ajax Map API for well over a year, starting
with version 3.0.  It's been easy to use and has worked very well.
Thank you and keep up the good work!!

I upgraded to the most recent 3.7 API.  Now, I want to add labels to
the markers I have on the map.  I do so this way:

var marker = new YMarker("New York, NY, USA", "marker1");
marker.addLabel("YOU ARE HERE");
this.map.addOverlay(marker);

The result, however, is that the little "bubble" marker appears on the
map at the correct place, but the "YOU ARE HERE" text is not in the
bubble, in fact, it appears on the map down and to the right of the
marker bubble.

I've added multiple markers with labels to a map, and all of the label
texts appear down and to the right of where they should be.

Any idea why this is happening?

In case it matters, I'm also using various parts of YUI version 2.3.1
on the same page as the map, in case that's creating any collisions.
Also, we use some advanced CSS for layout and positioning, in case
that might be causing issues.

Thank you!!!

Hi

I am also experiencing the same problem with memory leakage using the
removeMarkersAll and removeOverlay functions. It appears to be
particularly evident within Internet Explorer, however it is also
observed within FireFox when the operations are repeated several
times.

As I understand, based on earlier posts within this forum, Yahoo were
addressesing the issue, however this was raised at version 3.0 of the
AJAX API and it still does not seem to be resolved.

Please see the following related links:

Ajax version of map seems to leak a lot of memory when used with IE7.
I found that I could use YEvent.ClearAll(marker) before removing
marker from map to minimize memory leak. Function isn't documented.

Problem is that ClearAll function is slow, are there any alternatives?
YEvent.Remove doesn't seem to work, it leaves functions to YEvent._cache.

Subject: map api as a standalone Yahoo tile image viewer widget?

cocgis

Offline

I got a couple questions:
   1. Yahoo released YUI as a BSD licensed library. The Map AJax APi uses
some of the js files although they are out of sync version wise. From js
perspective,  the map API is a set of widgets used to view a dynamically
loaded image tiles, just like  other widgets in YUI such as sliders etc.
A standalone tile image viewer widget can be very useful.  A great
potential is to use it as a map viewer for map contents produced by our
own organization, or use it to view extremely large images (which can be
splited into tiles at different level) in a different coordinate system
etc. (http://gwtsandbox.com/?q=node/33) Is it possible Yahoo may
consider something like this? We'd love it even it may not be BSD
license.

2. If not, what if I downloaded the actual javascript
(http://yuiblog.com/blog/2006/12/14/maps-plus-yui/)  and modify it to
fit my needs? If I am not consuming the actual map images from
http://us.i1.yimg.com, will that modification violate  teh terms of
service? Currenly Google API have all functions I need (customize map
types, projection etc) but their licecnse does not allow Intranet use
without a very high price.

   3. If I customize (by extending prototype etc) some of the undocumented
internal classes in the API, such as MercatorProjection, will that
consider a viloation of the terms of service?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Tony,

At this point in time you cannot use the Yahoo Maps AJAX API to do
driving directions.

Hi,

I am Ganesh, new member of this Group.

I generated a XML file containing custom marker with addAutoExpand()
for my map. When i executed the map and mouse hover on a marker placed
in the corner of the map, the AutoExpand small window gone inner
outside of the map.

Can I bring the small window into the map region? I tried the
openSmartWindow in the MouseOver event. But due to the custom marker
it is not working. It bring the last marker details.

Please answer me as soon as possible.

I apologize if this is posted in the incorrect Group. I am trying to
determine if the Yahoo Maps APIs are available for intranet use. I have
found such documentation stating so at:

http://developer.yahoo.net/blog/archives/2006/06/yahoo_maps_you_1.html

According to this document intranet use is allowed. However, when
navigating to each of the reference manuals for the Yahoo Maps API
found under the "rate limit", it sates "Non-Commercial use only". The
Getting Started guide does not state that under the "rate limit". Can
someone help to answer my question or lead me in the right direction as
who to ask? I have tried to register where you are supposed to receive
feed back about questions you may have, but I have got no such thing on
4 attempts over the last month.

Thanks,
Adam

Subject: How to use YImage and YCustomOverlay to have an image always in view on the map

chrizbo

Online Now

Hi everyone.

Basically what I want to do is have an image over the map based off of
screen coords (always in the same place when the map pans).

I tried to look around the documentation and examples.  The YImage
reference section says that it should be used with the YCustomOverlay,
but I can't seem to find anything that links them together.

YCustomOverlay only takes HTML as its second argument and I am not
sure how to turn the YImage into one...

Thoughts or an example I can take a look at that is doing what I am
trying to do?

Thanks in advance.

Heres a demo that you can mess around with. The drag event you were
looking for is actually the functionality of EventsList.onPan, I think
this is what you were looking for:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://api.maps.yahoo.com/ajaxymap?v=3.7&appid=YahooDemo"></script>
<style type="text/css">
#map{
	 height: 75%;
	 width: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="mapContainer"></div>
<div id="mapInfo"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
// Create a lat/lon object
var myPoint = new YGeoPoint(36.7388841243943,-15.1171875);
// Create a map object
var map = new YMap(document.getElementById('mapContainer'));
// Display the map centered on a latitude and longitude
map.drawZoomAndCenter(myPoint, 16);

// Add map type control
//map.addTypeControl();
// Add a slider zoom control
map.addZoomLong();


// Set map type to either of: YAHOO_MAP_SAT YAHOO_MAP_HYB YAHOO_MAP_REG
map.setMapType(YAHOO_MAP_REG);

function displayCenter() {
var center = map.getCenterLatLon();
YLog.print('('+center.Lat+','+center.Lon+')');
}

YEvent.Capture(map, EventsList.onPan, displayCenter);

</script>

</body>
</html>
