[...] As a follow up to my previous tutorial on how to use your own custom map tiles in Google Maps, here’s the code (function) you need to convert Google tile x, y, and zoom into a suitable WMS URL. Just stick this code in the getTileURL(x, y, zoom) or getOverlayURL(x, y, zoom) functions and tweek some of the parameters to your needs. [...]

Okay, i got the pulldown menu to function. But the map still redraws at full zoom when you change map types after going to a queried location. Somehow the extent isn’t being remembered.

Also, at higher zooms (further out) the wms served shapefiles render further and further to the north. This must be a problem with the projection, but I can’t figure out what it should be.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Kyle,

Thanks so much for your excellent work. I am putting together a map site for a non-profit, and I adapted the javascript that Just (geoskating.com) adapted from you).

The map works great, but I am trying to add some functionality. I am not a javascript programmer and I am getting frustrated.

I’d like to add a pull-down list that will take you to pre-set locations on the map, so I adapted a script from google pedometer that does this by doing a GotoAndZoom (http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/). However, the map can’t re-initialize. I can’t see what is wrong.

I also incorporated a function to allow url queries to set the location and zoom. This works great when the page is loaded, but if you then try to switch between map types the zoom goes to the max.

Any thoughts? The page is: http://www.roadlessland.org/
Here is the link to the scripts: http://www.roadlessland.org/gmap-wms.js

Thanks much,
nelson

subu,

In order to for me to help you, you will need to be more specific and explain what it is you want to do. Are you taking about UMN MapServer?
