I have an application using the latest version (v1.5.3) of GMLIB. Starting today, the map now generates the above generic error when I place an object on the map. My application has not changed. I also tested the GMLIB MegaDemo that was provided and the same error is generated when starting the map - previously there was no error. I am using XE7 and have IE11 installed.

It appears the same error occurred several years ago and Catedill released an update to fix.

Below is the function and parameter I pass when the error occurs:

'MakeMarker' '2,false,false,true,false,false,true,35.7519302368164,-121.285972595215,true,''001: SAMPLE'',true,'''',0,'''',false,0,0,0,true,''mtStyledMarker'',''siBubble'',''#0000FF'',''#FFFFFF'',''#00FF00'',false,false,true'

Anyone else just start getting this error?

  • It appears the map.html file includes two resources no longer available: http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/styledmarker/src/StyledMarker.js and http://gmlibrary.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Resources/MaxZoom.js I have StyledMarker.js so I can host that file, but I don't have MaxZoom.js – Mark May 12 '16 at 02:51
  • Hi, it's true, this resource is no longer available. Mark, if you have StyledMarker.js, please, send me and I will upload to github (to GMLib 1.x folder). Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks!! – cadetill May 12 '16 at 08:05
  • You can find it at: https://github.com/googlemaps/v3-utility-library/blob/1ae531383555f40ef69d78574bf8a128b4c19517/styledmarker/src/StyledMarker.js – Mark May 12 '16 at 14:24

Well, I have made a solution. I have found StyledMarker.js and I have uploaded it into the GitHub GMLib repository.

Now, you only need to do this changes:

  • Into .\resources\map.html file replace this url:

http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/styledmarker/src/StyledMarker.js

by this other:

https://cdn.rawgit.com/googlemaps/v3-utility-library/master/styledmarker/src/StyledMarker.js

or

https://cdn.rawgit.com/cadetill/gmlib_v1/master/Resources/StyledMarker.js

  • Recreate resource file executing .\resources\rc.cmd
  • Build (no compile) all GMLib

Another option is download changes from GitHub repository.

More info about the problem here.

Regards and sorry for the inconvenience.

Rather than using your own development copy of the Google utility script, I'd recommend changing the url in your .\resources\map.html from: 

http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/styledmarker/src/StyledMarker.js

to the following cdn prefixed version of the source library:

https://cdn.rawgit.com/googlemaps/v3-utility-library/master/styledmarker/src/StyledMarker.js

In production, you really should be using the cdn version of the script as it has no traffic limits or throttling and the files are served via a super fast global CDN. However please bear in mind that, as a free service, it offers no uptime or support guarantees.

Accessing files hosted from Git is covered in more detail in the following SO answer:

Link and execute external JavaScript file hosted on GitHub

If you'd still prefer to use your own copy, for the same reasons I'd suggest using your cdn copy:

https://cdn.rawgit.com/cadetill/gmlib_v1/master/Resources/StyledMarker.js
