I am trying to create a map with custom markers.
When heights and widths are all the same, everything works fine. If I change one of them to be bigger (2x), that marker starts to behave funny - it's partially rendered on map, it disappears and reappears when zooming in/out, on some zoom levels it looks ok. Input images are all 128x128, I am scaling them to 32x32 but i would like some of them to be 64x32
Here's main function for adding markers (I commented out things that I tried before):
jQuery(xml).find("marker").each(function(){
var name = jQuery(this).find('name').text();
var address = jQuery(this).find('address').text();
// create a new LatLng point for the marker
var lat = jQuery(this).find('lat').text();
var lng = jQuery(this).find('lng').text();
var twidth = jQuery(this).find('width').text();
var theight = jQuery(this).find('height').text();
var point = new google.maps.LatLng(parseFloat(lat),parseFloat(lng));
var imgPath = jQuery(this).find('icon').text();
var hw = twidth/2;
var hh = theight/2;
var imageForMarker = new google.maps.MarkerImage(
imgPath,
null, //new google.maps.Size(128, 128),
// The origin for this image is 0,0.
null, //new google.maps.Point(0,0),
// The anchor for this image is at the centre
null, //new google.maps.Point(hw, hh),
// Scaled size
new google.maps.Size(twidth, theight));
// extend the bounds to include the new point
MYMAP.bounds.extend(point);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: point,
map: MYMAP.map,
icon: imageForMarker,
zIndex:0
});
citiesArray.push(marker);
var html='<strong>'+name+'</strong.><br />'+address+'<br><img src="http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=qr&chs=200x200&chl=http%3A//maps.google.com/maps%3Fq=%26ll%3D'+lat+'%2C'+lng+'%26z%3D14&chld=H|0">';
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
if(infoWindow)
infoWindow.close();
infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
infoWindow.setContent(html);
infoWindow.open(MYMAP.map, marker);
});
MYMAP.map.fitBounds(MYMAP.bounds);
});
xml is this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<markers>
<marker>
<name>name1</name>
<address></address>
<lat>54.721844</lat>
<lng>17.41024</lng>
<width>32</width>
<height>32</height>
<icon>park2.png</icon>
</marker>
( ...)
<marker>
<name>name2</name>
<address></address>
<lat>50.417408112618686</lat>
<lng>23.491015625</lng>
<width>32</width>
<height>32</height>
<icon>park.png</icon>
</marker>
</markers>
here's MYEDIT definition + initialization:
var infoWindow; var MYMAP = { map: null, bounds: null, iWindow: null }
MYMAP.init = function(selector, latLng, zoom) {
var myOptions = {
zoom:zoom,
center: latLng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
this.map = new google.maps.Map(jQuery(selector)[0], myOptions);
this.bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
}

IMPORTANT: you have to scroll down, tick CITIES, then at the top of the map near GDANSK a castle should appear - it's broken (top part of the castle is visible), strange things happen when you zoom in/out.
There are two PlaceMarkers functions - the bottom one uses different width/height and is broken (placeMarkersCities)
Any ideas what causes it and how to fix it?
