Version 2.8.0

Step 5: Advanced Settings

The Advanced settings for goMap define a variety of settings, seperated into three distinct groups.

Map Information
Provides the default behaviour of the map display, including width, height and center focus, as well as navigation and zoom controls. Press Set next to any elements on this page to import the current view settings for the displayed map.

Data Points
Adding, removing, and reviewing the points mapped to this goMap instance are all handled through this interface. Points can be added manually, automatically through clicking on the map in the desired location, or a lookup can be used to find the physical coordinates of any address, world wide. The values associated with each goMap point are as follows:

Icon - The physical image to display at the location of the designated point. Each Icon contains information regarding its foreground image, background image, size and offsets.
Coordinate - The latitude and longitude of each point are required for appropriate display allocation. You can specify this manually, or double-click a point on the wizard map to create a new point at that location.
Timer - If displaying the points in Time-Lapse, the items will be ordered by the Timer value. The distance between Timer values is represented by a multiplied delay based on the difference between two Timer values.
Timer Info - Provides a text representation of the point to display in the status when that point is rendered in Time-Lapse.
Description - Provides the HTML text value to display in the info window when the point is clicked.
Zoom - Provides the minimum zoom level at which this point is visible. GoMap provides the ability to display different points based on the current Zoom. If you define points at a zoom level of 0 and at a zoom level of 11, zooming from 11 to 16 will display all points defined in zoom 11, if you zoom in 10 or closer, the points will be displayed having zoom 0. This is very useful for Positional display which can provided Summary information when zoomed out, but detailed points when zoomed in.

Icons
The GoMap control provides the ability to have any number of icons for placing withing your overlays in the Google Map. These icons are displayed by utilizing the 0 based index within the returning Query IconIndex column. The GoMap settings provide a means of determining which icons appear in the Google control, and in which order.
