Since moving from google.maps.KmlLayer to geoxml3 I now have "To Here" and "From Here" links on a new line at the bottom of each infowindow. How do I get rid of those?

After I posted the original question above, I figured out that this happens with the kmz branch but not the polys branch. I need the kmz branch, to deal with markers with shadows, which are either wider than 32 pixels or off-center.

I could be out of my depth, but looking at the KMZ source it seems that kmz/geoxml3 will always add the Directions line if there's a latlng for that placemark, which is to say for every placemark.

So, unless there's an infoWindowOption or something I'm not seeing, I guess all I can do is hack out the code that loads geDirections, around lines 1206-1215. But is there some way to suppress that line without hacking kmz/geoxml3?

The current map is at http://allbluesdance.com/bluesmapgeoxml3_005.php, and the code (with text styling removed) is:

<!DOCTYPE html>

        #map-canvas { 
            height: 100%;
        }

        function initialize() {
            var mapOptions = {
                center: new google.maps.LatLng(20,-100),
                zoom: 2,
                preserveViewport: true
            };
            var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"), mapOptions);   
            var blues = new geoXML3.parser({map: map, singleInfoWindow: true, zoom: false});
            blues.parse('http://allbluesdance.com/allbluesdance_003.kml');
        }

        google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);

    </script>
  </head>
  <body id="page-body">

  • I would accept a patch the kmz branch which adds a "directions" option which defaults to true and which disables the "to here"/"from here" in the infowindows when false. That shouldn't be too hard to add (I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist already). I suppose you could also make [an enhancement request in the issue tracker](https://code.google.com/p/geoxml3/issues/list). – geocodezip Aug 08 '14 at 22:38
  • Yeah, at this point I've just deleted the directions line from line 197 of kmz/geokml3.js, so I'm fine for now. I'll make that enhancement request once I fully get all the options that are already there. Thanks. – Drew Tronvig Aug 10 '14 at 01:44

Added an option to suppress the directions links in the infowindow in the KMZ branch of geoxml3 (revision 113 of the KMZ branch)

use it like this:

var blues = new geoXML3.parser({
              map: map, 
              singleInfoWindow: true, 
              suppressDirections: true,
              zoom: false
            });
