Google Maps API experiment, revisited
Apparently, I goofed.
When I visited my Google Maps API project this morning, the map was missing! Thanks to Migs Paraz for pointing that out.
In the previous version, I added a few div items that shouldn't be there (in the spirit of separating content, presentation and behavior in the code). I cleaned the code a bit: completely separating the Javascript code to another file so the HTML will not be cluttered, and added an if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) check.
The XML is still as it is. Will have to consult with the content developers on what other info to include. And I'm still not sure about the GPS locations because I just gathered the samples from Global Gazetteer Version 2.1. Will have to check with the GIS people on Monday.
For now, here it is. It's really not that much: there's a list of interesting points on the left that you can click to display info on the map. I'll be adding the relevant information soon, such as the websites, statistics and related links. The points, by the way, are some areas where our project is currently working in.
[...] I’m thinking of using my stillborn Google Maps API-enabled AgriInfo map to set out the route and provide some interesting points as part of our coverage. Right now, I’m working on a decent XML generator to plug in the geodata with the resulting RSS feeds from the blog posts.
