Changes Google Maps API version 2 PDF Print E-mail
Written by Mike Reumer

Google is planning to update Google Maps API version 2 on 25 March.
There are two major changes:
Another reminder that the V2 Maps API is deprecated, and its deprecation period is coming to a close. Please upgrade your maps to the V3 API.

The plugin is not yet supporting all features of version 2 are available, but I am working on it.

Google maps disallowed full embedding website PDF Print E-mail
Written by Mike Reumer   
Saturday, 03 September 2011 08:53

Google disallowed before 13-11-2011 the embeding of the full website maps.google.com, see thread. It's not working anymore.

Previous message:

So the full website can't be placed in the lightbox anymore. See my demo's:
Marker with directions
Marker with directions V3

I've tried some possibilities but google doesn't allow to get the full google maps website to be placed in an iframe object. So I'm afraid that it will not be possible anymore to place the google maps website in a lightbox.

Google Maps Usage and Billing PDF Print E-mail
Written by Mike Reumer

Google will start in 2012 with the limit restrictions of the use of Google maps API.

The limits are up to 25,000 map loads per day for each API, so 25.000 for version 2 and 25.000 for version 3 (see What usage limits apply to the Maps API?). Google will only enforce the usage limits on sites that exceed them for 90 consecutive days.
To see if you reach the limits, you must take same steps to get an insight (see below).

It's not counted for each page, but every map on the page is counted.
Not clear yet is if a map is counted when it's not shown on the page for example in a lightbox, slider, tabs etc., because the plugin checks if a map is visible before loading the google map.
The geocoding of addresses on the server or in the browser have other limits.

Google Maps API version 2 already has a key, but you can't find any statistics about how many times a map is loaded for this key. There is no way to maintain these version 2 keys.
Google Maps API version 3 doesn't require a key.

How google will restrict an application or website to load map if it reached it's limit is not clear at the moment.

If you want to have an insight in how many time a map is loaded on your website then you must use a Google API Key (see Google API Console). This key can be used for Google maps API version 2 and 3.
You can enter this key inside the plugin parameter at google API key or Googlemaps Multi API Key.

You can make different keys for different website. Restricts a key to your website(s), to prevent use on unauthorized websites. I've tested this restriction and it is not working yet.

New version 2.14 of plugin Googlemaps is released today. Now Google Maps API version 3 is default so no key is needed. Have a look at the examples: http://tech.reumer.net/Google-Maps/Demo-Google-Maps-V3/.
Not all features are possible yet with Google Maps version 3. See examples what features are available.

Changed:
* Added streetview rotation (v2)
* Added autocomplete (v3)
* Added custom icon (v3)
* Solved bug for mobile browsers.
* Solved bug that map shows in editor.
* Checked and documented all parameters
* Solved bug with automatic update. From this version it should work allright in Joomla 1.6/1.7. If you have a previous version 2.13a/b/c the upgrade will not work.

Have fun with the plugin.

Regards Mike

Written by Mike Reumer   
Wednesday, 19 October 2011 13:10

Released is version 1.10 of the plugin to include a component in an article without iframe. So the links will work like in an normal page and styling of the site wil be used and also the style of the component.

This version solves some problems like forms without action defined, Joomla1.6/1.7 '</p> bug
Extra functionality automatic Joomla update

This version also is a native Joomla 1.7 version.

The syntax is: {component url='<url>' }

Replace <url> with the url to your component and include index.php?
For example: {component url='index.php?option=com_component&Itemid=73&parameters....' }

Regards Mike
