Google Map Block Premium problem...
Permalink
Hi there. I'm digging this block, but I'm having a little issue with it; maybe someone can provide some insight.
I added my kml file that contains my placemark. When I click on the pin in either the "Map" or "Satellite" view, the balloon displays as you would expect.
However, when I click on the pin in the "Earth" view, there appears to be a conflict. There are 2 balloons...an earth one under the map one. Also, because I assume the div for the map one is nested in the div for the earth one, neither are pointing to the placemark.
See my attached image... or if you have the Google Earth browser plug-in, just check it out at the dev site (click the earth button):http://dev.shawhofstra.com/location/...
Is there a way to show only the earth div or is this a limitation of the block? Thanks!!

well i know the browser google earth is notoriously punky, but yeah i see what you mean. Have you tried creating your data as a different type? I can't help to notice the ones i made on /community/members are yellow pushpins adn yours is a red cross. while i like yours from a design prospective, is it some weird data type that might be linked to the weird behavior?
yes, I tried to use a pared down version of the kml, using all default icons, etc.
First this way w/ "iso-8859-1" encoding:
then this way, with "UTF-8" encoding:
and still no love. At first I thought maybe the CDATA stuff I originally had in the description was the culprit, but removing that bit had no effect on the problem. I'm stumped...
I looked at the community/members/ page on this site and it's appears that it's pretty much doing the same thing for you, by placing the maps description div bubble inside of the earth description div bubble. do you see that as well? (image attached)
