GPolygon()

v2.69 gives us possibility to fill inner area of a polyline. The syntax is like GPolyline() but with two more parameters:

new GPolygon(array_of_points, line_color, line_width, line_opacity,
fill_color, fill_opacity);

Discovered by Mike Williams. An example.

A page without a key

Api checks

if((d=="igoogle"||d=="gmodules"||d=="googlepages"||
d=="orkut")&&c=="com")

from the page url. If satisfied no key is needed. The bonus is that you get the same tileset as maps.google.com.

If you have your page hosted in GooglePages without a key you get Navteq maps for US and today you can get African maps with the trick. Just delete '&key=blahblah..' from the api call script. 'Powered by Google' logo goes with the key. Cairo.

I have not solved how to make GClientGeocoder work with a page like that.

Event tester 2.0 pre alpha

Now I have a partially operating pre alpha event test page v2.0 on line:

• parameters (first three of them)
  
• draggable output fields
• more objects (info window, overview map, draggable object...)
  
• the list of GEvents is read from text file that is a section of api
• events are alphabetically sorted to a "List" field
• events field is editable [submit]
  
• call GLog to see timing
• script area (also in v1) to write event listeners of your own
• a bug was revealed:
• mouseover and mouseout of map will not come back if once deleted
• 'mousemove' is deleted for saving output field
  
• I have managed to get a few times
  

Does not work with IE at this time but I quess that is not a problem. Please comment especially about 'zoomrangechange' and 'blur'.
