Developments
10/10 Started Google Maps adding pins for
Sheffield in discussion with colleagues
11/10 Made a Custom Ground overlay image loading
pins from georss layer feed
Version
1
02/11 Developed a map that could 'Hyperlink to a
specific kml marker, through the rss item?' and so
changed to using geoxml3 to have a pin link list
Version 2
03/11 Developed the link list into a bottom bar
with 4 columns using geoxml3
03/11 Overlayed Styled map image using
ProjectedOverlay
03/11 Attached pin colour images alongside marker
links in bottom bar
03/11 Made a sidebar with check box category
display list
03/11 Fixed hiding the overlay image using
setOpacity & {percentOpacity:100}
03/11 Made transparency % overlay using set
opacity
03/11 Attached address details to bottom bar links
03/11 Fixed 'Show All' pins link at bottom of
sidebar
03/11 Made name and anchor to link bottom bar pins
links to re-orientate you back to the map on click
to see where pin is using function GoToAnchor, #mystory
& onclick="kmlClick()">name</a>
07/11
Eventually, using map.setCenter & span class
can reposition from Lat Lng the location in the
map through html/javascript onClick's
07/11 Utilised an array to hide all overlay images
var overlays = []; and overlays.push(overlay); let
us use:function setOpacities(desiredOpacity)
07/11 Made the map GeoLocate (if
user allows) so you see what creative pins are
near you
07/11
Added a search input to map to Geocode so
you see what creative pins are in an area
07/11
Changed the GeoLocate icon to my own customised
'You Are Here' adapting the poster 'Your army
needs you'
07/11 Fixed the GeoLocate so
it doesn't trigger when ...vism.ag/index.htm#mystory
is activated, can just use ...vism.ag/#mystory
08/11 Added Scale to the map with scaleControl:
true, in my map options
08/11
Added Keyword Search input that uses fusion tables
& kml as the database to searc
08/11
Fixed fusion table map continuously displaying
search results to only display when query found
& hidden when showAll is clicked with layer.setMap(null);
in the right place
08/11 Added
onKeydown="Javascript: if (event.keyCode==13) changeMap();" so that return/enter key submit search instead of clicking
08/11
Worked out how to use autocomplete through jquery
in search box, still tweaking before implement

a diamond.
