Google Maps Mashup - plotMulti

[ahollander]

I am not able to get multiple addresses to plot on Google maps using the code in Caspio's Map Mashup Instructions for ver 4:

Y

This does not result in any plotting until clicking one of the results which then plots only the single result. Another poster had the same problem.

please post a link to your page so we can view the code to help determine the issue.

First of all I realized that the \"Y\" in the map settings for mapType is not for \"Yes\" but for Yahoo, so changed the Y to \"G\" for Google.

Second, I learned that v4 does not support a variable location, so that multiple plots only work if you know in advance which city or location you will use for the results and then set an initial location for the map as described in your instructions.

So waiting for v5 to provide support for a variable location.

That will be a cool feature. if you want to make sure your default location is going to be a place where a point is.

This is of course before v5 comes out you can do this.

To clarify the last response from sdi126 if you follow his link:

You can have a variable position for the \"home_position\" based on the result fields:

Example if you want the home postion based on zip code:

[@field:Zip]

You could also use [@field:City], [@field:State]

You do want to set your zoom level appropriately:
