Map API questions and issues

Technical questions and issues:

  • I can't seem to set the Map object click and doubleclick handlers. They have the default behavior exhibited on slurl.com, but I'm supposed to be able to override or supplement that (which?). Also, is (x,y) passed to these event handlers?
  • Now that there are 8 zoom levels instead of 6, when you instantiate a Marker, do you use an array of images of size 8 instead of 6?
  • Had some problems with getCurrentZoomLevel() working at levels 7 and 8.
  • I think someone needs to confirm that Webmap_API#Accessing_map_images_directly is correct. It's not clear to me, but it may be OK.

Other questions and issue:

  • Thoughts about calling it "Map API" instead of "Webmap API"? Latter just seems awkward.
  • Is the API still in beta? Are we going to put a version number on this, since the recent changes (e.g. 1.1?)
    • I think we should number it, and use version 2.0 or 2.1 to match the underlying Google Map API version (which is 2). James Linden
