Hi Jan, You''re right. That example isn''t loading anything onto the map. It looks to me like there''s something going on with the OpenLayers implementation in Mapstraction. Mapstraction''s addOverlay function shows the right stuff when I switch to using Google as the mapping provider. --Ad --- Adam DuVander I like maps: http://mapscripting.com I like simple: http://adamduvander.com On Jun 10, 2009, at 12:54 PM, Jan Martin wrote:> Hi, > just noticed that the > API Sandbox GeoRss example at > > http://mapstraction.appspot.com/#georss > > is broken. > Anyone knows what needs to be fixed? > I a trying to work from that to display a .rss file of mine. > > Thanks, > Jan > > _______________________________________________ > Mapstraction mailing list > Mapstraction at lists.mapstraction.com > http://lists.mapstraction.com/listinfo.cgi/mapstraction-mapstraction.com
Thanks,
I got it working starting with the google specific provider example and then
changing the js code.
However it does not work when exchanging flickr with my skytraq.georss file
located in the same local directory as the page itself.
Any ideas why?
Also I wonder how one would zoom in on the extent of the data, and not using
hardcoded lat lon as center of the map.
function initialize() {
var mapstraction = new
Mapstraction(''map_canvas'',''google'');
var myPoint = new LatLonPoint(49.99372,8.66419);
mapstraction.setCenterAndZoom(myPoint, 15);
mapstraction.addControls({zoom: ''large''});
// mapstraction.addOverlay("
http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/groups_pool.gne?id=322338 at
N20&format=rss_200&georss=1
");
mapstraction.addOverlay("skytraq.georss");
}
skytraq.georss looks like this:
<rss version="2.0"
xmlns:geo="http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#">

You can only load GeoRSS files from a publicly available URL using Google - it goes through one of our proxies. We have a function for zooming to the bounds of the file - GGeoXml.gotoDefaultViewport(map:GMap2). Not sure if that should be in Mapstraction or if you should just try to get to the GGeoXml object.
