[aprssig] Auto-Zoom with Findu?

Sun Aug 26 12:53:56 EDT 2007

Matt,

Unfortunately, none of those parameters, though passed to the gmap cgi
display now utilized at findu, seem to be recognized by the cgi...

Thus changing any of the parameters (other than the call) will not change
the map display in the least...

This is what the find cgi creates in the iframe:

<iframe
src="http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/gmap.cgi?call=kb1ikn&gmap=7&terra=6&aprswo
rld=7&degree=.1" scrolling="no" width="720" height="551"></iframe>

And gmap cgi then delivers:

<HTML>

<HEAD>

    <script
src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=1&key=ABQIAAAAl41nRYCH3VE0q-ZVEq
gYyBRF1Ehny2Il60uf9pjFdUMKW-CnhhSFwpox47TZwd0LuH4yudW4uaWXJw"
type="text/javascript"></script>

</HEAD>

<BODY onload="loadMap();">

    <div id="map" style="width: 700px; height: 500px"></div>

    <script type="text/javascript">

    //<![CDATA[

function loadMap(){   var map = new GMap(document.getElementById("map"));

   map.addControl(new GLargeMapControl());

   map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());

   map.addControl(new GScaleControl());

   map.centerAndZoom(new GPoint(-68.77367, 44.83283), 5);

   var icon1 = new GIcon();

   icon1.image =
"http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/gmapicon.cgi?call=KB1IKN&icon=/>";

   icon1.shadow =
"http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/gmapicon.cgi?call=KB1IKN&icon=/>";

   icon1.iconSize = new GSize(90, 20);

   icon1.shadowSize = new GSize(1, 1);

   icon1.iconAnchor = new GPoint(8, 8);

   icon1.infoWindowAnchor = new GPoint(5, 1);

   var point1 = new GPoint(-68.77367,44.83283);

   var marker1 = new GMarker(point1, icon1);

   map.addOverlay(marker1);

   GEvent.addListener(marker1, "click", function() {
marker1.openInfoWindowHtml("KB1IKN<br> --- Report received  14 hours 31
minutes 48 seconds ago<br>   Altitude: 223"); });

}

   //]]>

   </script>

The use of Google Maps is experimental, comments are welcome. If you are
using Internet Explorer 6 and having problems, try lowering your security
settings...</BODY>

</HTML>

What is needed is a way to change the "5" in:

   map.centerAndZoom(new GPoint(-68.77367, 44.83283), 5);

Changing this value determines the level of zoom on the initial display.  It
doesn't appear that any parameters for the gmap cgi have been made available
at the website.

73,

John
