Google map doesn't work anymore ??

by leifs » Mon Sep 22, 2014 8:23 am

I have notised that in all my panos made with PTP 1.8 the Google map doesn't work anymore.
Anybody seen or heard anything about this ?

Kolor:
do I have to redo all of them from scratch on PTP 2 ?
I can't even open the PTP 1.8 project in PTP 2

OLD google message :
The API will continue to work until September 2, 2014.
After that date, the API will no longer be available. We encourage you to migrate your code to version 3 of the Google Maps JavaScript API.

NEW google message :
Important: The Google Maps Flash API is no longer available.
This guide is intended to help developers who have existing Flash API apps to migrate their code to the Google Maps Javascript API v3.

So the old google maps with Flash API will not work anymore.

Yes. At this time it's hard to hear.
We are looking for a possible update of the map component for 1.8 but no solution at this time.

But is it necessary to recreate the 1.8 tours from scratch just because they include a Panotour map.

Could you not instead open the tour with 1.8 remove the map extra and rebuild, then open that version of the tour in PT/PTP 2.x?

Better way at this time is to change for Bing or Openstreetmap map rather than Google map.

afaik there is no way to open a PTP 1.8 project in PTP 2, or have I missed something ?

I think you can...but not all features are 'translated' in fact very few are I believe.

I tried Openstreetmap, but it is useless for me. In my district there are no names at all.
I will try Bing and have a look.

I have now found a way to change PTP 1.8 panos using Google maps to using Bing maps without starting from scratch.
The trick is to edit the virtualtour.xml making two changing in one line of code.

Google maps

<plugin name="panotourmaps" ..... maptype="PHYSICAL" .... mapgis="google" key="xxxxx">

Bing maps

<plugin name="panotourmaps" ..... maptype="HYBRID" .... mapgis="bing" key="yyyyyy">

It works and its "easy". I like the look of google maps better though.
