Short notice to announce the update of j2memap to V09.19. This contains mainly update for GoogleMap API, and some custom menus for better navigation. Let me know if you have an issue with version.
The library has been also updated, so for people who see “red squares” while using the library, please go to the developper web site and download it.

Following my previous post on Google’s “MyMaps”, it appears that it’s a convenient way to publish maps on mobile. How: just create your maps on the web, using mymaps, and then kml link can be used to publish it on mobile (it’s onder the meny mytracks->import>from internet and then put the kml link here).
The bad news is that kml link issomething like this: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&om=1&msa=0&output=kml&msid=100794107530973749779.00000111cde574931c1c3
Not so easy to type on mobile. The short term solution is to use something like tinyurl, that can transform this long url into this one:

The result is here:
And the mobile version in J2memap:
Note that filled path are not supported, as well as most of the rich text attributes….

Google just launched “MyMaps” addition to GoogleMap. Thanks to this, you can easily create your own custom maps. In term of user interface, you can feel the “google touch”: seems to be very basic, but in fact it’s one of the most complete custom map editor that I’ve seen: You can add custom points, with text (text can be rich text, there is a small embeeded HTML editor), empty of filled polygons, description can contains pictures, etc…
Nice features that are available:
and the latest one, which is in my view a killer feature, especially for many mashup:
This mean that by creating public map, the content of these map will be added in local search. Smart and simple idea….
Congratulation to the GoogleMap team for this very smart creation. I hope that next step are probably here:
