I have seen and my users has been reporting intermittent problems with
the Y! Maps (Flash AS2) engine not initializing and therefore not
allowing interactivity with the map. Is there something wrong with the
tile server that we should be aware of?

Subject: How do I redraw smart markers?
mark_j_bentley
Send Email Send Email
 
I have a page that displays several "smart markers" with a bit of info about
each site available if you click the marker.  The markers are created by doing:

   var myImage = new YImage();
   /* the real app does some stuff to pick the icon and size */
   var sz=0;
   myImage.src = 'img/MapIcons/point_1.png';

   myImage.size = new YSize(sz,sz);
   myImage.offsetSmartWindow = new YCoordPoint(sz/4,5);

   var newMarker= new YMarker(new YGeoPoint(someLat, someLng),
     myImage);
   newMarker.addAutoExpand( aHtmlString );
   var markerMarkup = anotherHtmlString;
   YEvent.Capture(newMarker, EventsList.MouseClick,
     function(){
       newMarker.openSmartWindow(markerMarkup);
     });
   map.addOverlay(newMarker);

The catch is that I have a javascript timer that later comes back and redraws
the points with updated info.  At that time, I don't want to reload the map, but
I want to reload the Icon and html strings.

I tried "map.removeMarkersAll();" but it does not seem to remove the points.  Is
there a way to remove all the marker layers without recreating the whole map.  I
want to keep the current map, position and zoom in order to make it a little
nicer for the user.

What is the best way to do this?

My current guess is to implement an array of layers with some sort of unique ID
to keep track of them and then change each marker, but I am not quite sure how
or if this is really the best way to do it.

Thanks,

Mark Bentley

Hi,

if you just want to show the regular Yahoo Map, the you could use this URL:

Subject: Map Image API: Zoom-Level? Bounds of map?
toobbs
Send Email Send Email
 
Hi,

I tried a few things concerning the zoom-levels. I thought the zoom-levels of
Map Image API (1-12), could be translated to the regular zoom-levels which are
used for Yahoo Maps tiles (for example zoom-level 1 of the Map Image API would
be zoom-level 17). But actually the Map Image API uses completely different
zoom-level steps!


What I want to do, is to calculate the bounds/extent of the map image I fetched.

This formulas (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/yws-maps/message/1037) seem to
be not valid any more
(http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/yws-maps/message/5481).


The description of the REST API says: "Fetch a map image programmatically and
stitch tiles together to build your own map."

That is exactly what I want to do, but therefor I will have to know, the bounds
of the map images.

Does anybody have an idea how to do this?


Thank you,
Tobias

Hi,

actually you can request static maps using the Map Image API
(http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/rest/V1/) and also geocode addresses using the
Geocoding API (http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/rest/V1/geocode.html) in Java or
any other language.

For directions you could either use the Virtual Earth SDK
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc966826.aspx), the MapQuest API
(http://developer.mapquest.com/downloads , take a look at the samples) or the
Cloud Made API (http://developers.cloudmade.com/projects/show/routing-http-api).

Have fun,
Tobias

Subject: Refreshing Map Markers
mark_j_bentley
Send Email Send Email
 
I have a page that displays a map with several markers (say 10) using the Yahoo
AJAX API.  Every once in a while (say once an hour), I want to change the status
of the markers (i.e. change the icon and text) based on input from a JSON data
source.

Currently, the web page draws all the markers nicely, but when I later try to
change the markers, I run into 2 issues:

1) "map.removeMarkersAll();" does not seem to remove any of the existing markers

2) when I try to put new markers up, they always appear stacked up in the upper
left corner of the map (no matter what zoom level or map position).

I am drawing the markers with something like:
   var myImage = new YImage();
   myImage.src = 'img/MapIcons/point_1.png';
   myImage.size = new YSize(48,48);
   myImage.offsetSmartWindow = new YCoordPoint(24, 0);

   var msg = 'some message';
   var newMarker= new YMarker(new YGeoPoint(lat, lng), myImage);

   newMarker.addAutoExpand( msg);
   var markerMarkup = msg;
   YEvent.Capture(newMarker, EventsList.MouseClick,
     function(){
       newMarker.openSmartWindow(markerMarkup);
     });

   map.addOverlay(newMarker);


Does anyone have any ideas on a good way to refresh the markers?

Thanks,

Mark Bentley

Send Email Send Email
 
Hey, all, working on a project that involves users identifying a space through a
map interface (on mobile, using Yahoo! Blueprint). I went through and calculated
a reasonable search radius (for feeding into Y! local) by using the scale on a
map at each zoom level. I went to use it today, and noticed that the scale on
the maps are now different (rendering the previous calculations useless).

Is there a programmatic way to determine the scale of the map? With that, I
could figure out (combined with the size of the map) a search radius.

Thanks in advance!

Best,
-Zach

Hi Mustafa,

The Map Image API (http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/rest/V1/) only supports a
single location.  The AJAX API (http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/ajax/) does
support multiple markers, but would require using JavaScript or embedding a
browser like context inside your Java app.

Using Java, you could use the Map Image API combined with the Geocoding API
(http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/rest/V1/geocode.html).  You would have to use
the Map Image API to retrieve an image for the first point, then overlay an
additional marker on the image using the result from the Geocoding API.

I am just trying to convert an array of YGeoPoints to an array of YCoordPoints
by converting each point individually in a loop.

The source code snippet is as follows:

while(loopCnt < maxLoopCnt) {
	 var tempLat = Points[loopCnt][1];
	 var tempLon = Points[loopCnt][0];
	 temp = new YGeoPoint(tempLat, tempLon);
	 temp1 = new YCoordPoint();
	 temp1 = map.convertLatLonXY(temp[loopCnt]);
	 polylinePointsX.push(temp1.x);
	 polylinePointsY.push(temp1.y);
	 loopCnt++;
}
The Points array has the correct Lat and Lon values, I have already checked
that. The "temp" variable is getting created correctly as well.
But the "temp1" variable gets assigned a boolean value "false" and does not get
the converted values assigned to it. (I checked in the browser's debugger)
Can you tell me what the problem is??

Hi James,

but how could I find out the pixel position of the second point from which I

This would probably also answer these questions:

You can create a class for your map
and include it in the head of your page or in your css stylesheet:

.map {
   width:300px; height:300px;
   border-color:darkblue;
   border-style:solid;
   border-width:1px;
}


Then call the class when you define your div:


<div id="mymap" class="map"><script type="text/javascript">

        // Create a map object
  var map = new YMap(document.getElementById('map'));

        // Display the map centered on a geocoded location
  map.drawZoomAndCenter("44023", 5);

Hi Lee,

the "Yahoo! Maps Web Services - Geocoding API" would be the right thing for you:
http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/rest/V1/geocode.html

For information about commercial use, I think you will have to contact Yahoo:
http://developer.yahoo.com/register/

But you can already try it out, just get yourself a App ID:

Part ii of your question is rather confusing...

A lat/long point, by definition, is a specific point on earth, not a
route...

A route (assuming you mean by automobile) is defined by by driving
directions
on streets, which are labeled by name, not a single latitude/longitude point

Maybe you could clarify for the group what it is you are trying to do?

Hi All,

I am developing a web application, in this i have to perform these two
tasks,

i) Javascript API calls for optimum routing based on start/origin and
end/destination.

ii) Retrieve the lat/long for the route identified for the optimum route.

If you have worked in these, kindly let me know how to do.

I am currently building a website and want to embed a location map to it. I have
the map embeded by using the place name but want to use latitude/longatude
coords to specify exact location. Can anyone tell me how to get
latitude/longatude values for a specific location.

In the past week I've been getting a few scattered complaints that my yahoo maps
(ajax API) aren't loading up, just a few isolated cases.  In the past 24 hours
I've been receiving more of these complaints from a variety of locations all
over the country.

Is there a DNS problem going around or is the yahoo maps server having
intermittent problems or something?

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Any help or advice or information would be much appreciated!!

Subject: using simple API with 3+ groups with different icons, icons appear as dead links

I've got an application that creates an XML file and gets the response from the
simple mapping API.  It works quite well except for not loading some of the
images correctly.

In the legend at the top of the map the first few will appear correctly - the
problem is always in the last image or images.  IE7 renders the image as a dead
link (square box with red x).

When those images drop, two things can happen in the map:
The first possibility is for the map to display with the correct images -
despite the images not loading in the legend.

The second possiblity is for the map to display as if I'd not specified an icon
at all, just giving me generic different colored square pointers.

I've looked at the XML I'm generating and don't see an issue.  Using wireshark
to sniff the traffic between my page and yahoo's servers I don't see any HTTP
errors that are happening.

This is a sample of the XML I'm passing the simple API.  I've edited it so as
not to identify anything/anyone.

(I've tried enclosing my icon links as ![CDATA[valid link]] and that just
guarantees that the icons show up as dead links.)


Anyone else seen this issue?

I am using v3.8 of the AJAX Map API and experiencing buggy behavior on IE8. On a
map with 300 markers created with the following snippet:

var marker = new YMarker(geoPoint, this.createCustomMarkerImage(img, xsize,
ysize));
marker.addAutoExpand(desc);
this.map.addOverlay(marker);

When you hover over one it opens but does not close when you hover over another.
However the description of the marker changes in the original marker.

Any ideas?
