i have several questions about the blue dot that appears when i launch the google maps in the browser. I tried implementing the same by using the blue dot image as the icon property of the marker and changing the position of the marker in accordance with the current location. So when i do this its actually like the maps are refreshing where as in the google maps application the blue dot is moving smoothly(and that's very awesome). My question
is whether blue dot in google maps is implemented as a marker which changes its
position or is it an inbuilt property of google maps which we can use.
i am using google maps API v3 to do this.
Thanks for any information.
It's a marker with custom icon which is placed with HTML 5 position provided by most recent browsers.
When the position change, you can change marker position.

How do I add an image to google maps that has bounds? I have a rectangle image and would like to layer it on the map using its north-east and south-west points. Since the image is location based, I also want that image to re-size when the user zooms in and out.

When launching Google Maps in iOS, the App will display a blue dot for my location and a blue arrow for direction I faced.
Is it possible to display the blue arrow with Google Maps SDK in iOS ?
If SDK does not provide this function, is there any way to implement it by myself ?
I've spent a good amount of time researching this and the simple answer is no. I've combed through every page of the google maps iOS sdk documentation and have found nothing on user location direction. I have tried laying an arrow image on top of the mapView, but the problem is that the user dot does not always stay in the exact center, and there is no way to reference the location of the dot within the mapView. It seems that this is one feature that Google is keeping to themselves for some reason :(
I am trying to put an image overlay on google map with bounds. But the image is not mapping to the bounds. I tested using the same bounds in google earth and it works fine there. Can someone please let me know if I need to anything different with google maps to use the same bounds??
fixed using GroundOverlay instead of OverlayView
I am trying to make a Polyline editor, just like the one from Google Drawings Library. (for specific reasons, i can't use that one)
It works on the same principle. Start with a point, then for each click add new points and make the polyline.
On the editor from Google Drawings Library, while you are editing a polyline, you're mouse can't interact with other items from the map.
Inspecting with firebug, i see that they have an overlay of 20000000 z-index inside the map.
Is there any way of creating the same overlay for my map using default Google Maps functions?
It's a custom overlay inside the overlayMouseTarget-pane with the same size as the map and a draw-method that updates the position of the overlay. You may do the same.
I'm using Google maps V3 API . I've added a custom control on the Map. Its having a width of 350px and height 300px.
Is there any way which i can figure out any of the marker is positioned behind the custom control on the Google maps.
Also i need to find out if i could able to find any marker is behind the custom control , i want it to change the position of the marker out of the custom control.
