I apologize for sending too many emails out so quickly, and for those
not interested, I appreciate your indulgence. Google Map API pre2 has
the following new features:
* fromto - Allows the site administrator or wiki editor to toggle
whether the Directions dialog appears with a display window. This is
for my international siblings for whom Google does not yet provide
directions. I suppose that means that Google either thinks you know
your own way, or that you're best left aimless--not sure which.
* addr - Uses Google's geocoding service to convert a street address
to a lat/lon. I've not tested international addresses.
Multiple maps are still a sticky wicket. You can have multiple maps on
a page, but if you have display windows, they seem to pop-up on the
wrong map. You also can float a map.
Pre-3 should represent fixed multi-maps and perhaps linking to other
wiki pages from within the map.
