I re-wrote a lot of the code for minimap in 0.3.7, and unfortunately a couple of things slipped through the testing net:
1) If the sidebar is open when you right click and choose Minimap Sidebar: Locate xxxxx, the sidebar will not close after the address is added. You will need to restart Firefox
2) The 'To' directions box in the Map tab does not work
3) The delete or backspace key will not work for address list items |
|
Last night, Google changed something in the API which stopped Minimap being able to change to the road map type (grr).
To fix, close the sidebar or map tab, load each one of these pages, and hard refresh (SHIFT + refresh button click)
http://maps.stcstm.org/firefox_map_0_3_2.html
http://maps.stcstm.org/maptab_0_3_6.html |

Firefox 2 users clicking on the small arrow next to the From: and To: text in the Directions tab will only show the default address as an option. All works in Firefox 3 though (complete list of all your addresses) - am investigating. |
Q. Clicking on a link or image within the sidebar sometimes opens up in the sidebar rather than a tab?
A. This normally happens with the Local Search Google Adlink: middle click the image/link to open in a new tab or drag the link/image onto the main browser area instead and it will open up in that tab. |

Q. When I drag and drop or right-click to add a google/yahoo maps link or kml file link it does not work?
A. The extension looks for .kml, .kmz, =kml, Google MyMaps or keyhole kml file links. Try manually adding using the toolbarbutton if the link does not meet any of these criteria.
For the Google/Yahoo maps links, please email me mctones [at] gmail [dot] com with the page so I can investigate further. |
Q. NoScript extension is blocking the sidebar?
A. If you are using the NoScript extension, you will have to allow the domain maps.stcstm.org, (the website that holds the google map) as well as google.com and googlecode.com. |
Q. The address is coming up in the wrong place?
A. I do not have any control over how Google's geocoder behaves i'm afraid. However, you can help it out by adding the country to the end of the address if manually adding. The other tweak available to you is in the options - change the google domain to your locale, for example changing it to maps.google.es will place Toledo in Spain rather than the US as it does by default. |
