New Google Map Layer and function [DEPRECATED]

[sfdanny]

Hi

1- Is there a way to integrate the Google Map Weather Layer ?

https://developers.google.com/maps/docu ... ther?hl=es

2- Exist plugin or something to show info in pop up when I click a vehicle ?

Thanks

This is a good idea.
@Support, any chance that this feature will be added by GpsGate team?

Best Regards,

Weather Layer is already included in Google Map plugin, it needs only a few lines of code to activate it... you have my contact details if you need it... it's as easy as copy/paste... and it's free... even more there are a few styled maps in it...

@kalmangabriel, thanks a lot, your solution works perfectly and is pretty awesome.

Thank you so much.

Thanks Gabriel worked great!
I just need to get the weather channel to accept data from my local weather station....

cool that you found and hacked it! - But please be aware that manual modifications to a file like this will not survive a plugin update and that we can't/won't give "deep" support on this.
If you find(fix!) bugs or have good improvements feel free to send it to us though!

Btw, how did you expose the feature in UI? (Simply enabling weather will hide most map labels for example). Best would be to add another stateful button (checkbox), similar to traffic I'd say.

We'll see what can be done in future upgrades.

Hey Fredrik,

I've just followed the way Traffic is added to the map.. and it has a Weather button just like the Traffic button... even more, it has some nice styled maps included and OSM activated as well...
Here is the modified Google Map plugin... maybe you are able to check and improve my pretty lame coding...

Cheers,

For anyone else, just unzip and replace Google Maps folder in IIS\Resources\ScriptPlugins\com.GpsGate\ on your server, then reload the application clearing your browser's cache. Make sure you have a backup of the original Google Maps folder before doin' anything fancy...

i didn't with a purpose... it was just "minimized" then "beautified" back at some point to fix something...

aha, ok. Easier to diff files if changes are as small as possible though.
(plan to minimize more plugins by default later btw).

Is there a way to change the temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit

[kalmangabriel]

yes...

find

var weatherLayer = new google.maps.weather.WeatherLayer();

replace with

var weatherLayer = new google.maps.weather.WeatherLayer({temperatureUnits: google.maps.weather.TemperatureUnit.FAHRENHEIT});

Hi,
This weather option seems to be broken. Any plan for GGS official support on this?
Thanks.
