Google maps API access from China about gwt-maps-v3-api HOT 7 OPEN

I have the same need! Please help!

from gwt-maps-v3-api.

Unfortunately, I don't think that's possible.

This project uses Google loader to load the Maps APIs from Google (https://developers.google.com/loader/) which does not official supports Maps (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5296115/can-you-load-google-maps-api-v3-via-google-ajax-api-loader)

I think the only way to get Chinese maps is by using the new API

from gwt-maps-v3-api.

You'll have to load the api another way, instead of using the api. As long as the javascript you want gets injected you can use the wrapping api. Or patches are welcome.

Hello,

Can you please elaborate? I tried injecting the new API code and stopped using the old one (commented it out) and it won't work.

Hm, not sure what's going on. Either the api has diverged to much or the javascript isn't available before the api is called. Usually it happens to be the javascript isn't attached to the dom yet, and the api is called and you get an undefined.

The code in this library eventually calls this:

AjaxLoader.loadApi("maps", API_VERSION, onLoad, settings);

If I get this commented out, I get a blank pane instead of a map which is normal.

However, even if I inject my page with the latest official Google Maps API:

http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false

I can see the javascript loaded using my browser's inspector but I still get a blank pane instead of a map.

I reckon the new maps API uses different objects/JS names etc so the GWT lib won't pick them up.

I hope I am wrong but I think this is what the case is.

Thanks a lot for your time and for replying.

Regards,
George

Nothing I tried worked. Maybe the JS objects from the old API are completely different than the ones from the new one. I am attaching a screenshot of what the old one and the new one loads.
