Sorry to post this here, but I didn't see any forums over on Jetkey's site...

Has anyone else started having a weird problem with JetKey GoogleMaps / SmatMap module? In the last 24hrs, I've noticed that on ANY of my sites using JK Maps modules, when you click on the "pin", instead of zooming in on the pin and info window, it just randomly zooms in somewhere ~20miles away. I didn't know if something may have changed in the Google API or what, but I know for certain that these worked last night and as of today all my sites using this module are exihibiting the same behavior.

Thanks for any input!

Yes, the problem you describe is caused by a recent change in the Google Maps API that finally renders this legacy map product obsolete.  Because i'm no longer updating or supporting this legacy map product, the only way to fix this problem is to upgrade to Jetkey Smart Map which is fully supported and constantly being improved and updated to keep up with changes to the Google Maps API.  Please contact me directly through my website at http://smartmap.jetkey.com for a discount coupon since you are upgrading.

Hi Chris, I believe we spoke on the phone this morning.  Just so this group knows, I replied to your email several times but your spam filter rejected my messages every time.  After you gave me a new email address I was able to send you the information that you requested about upgrading.  Below are some of the features of Jetkey Smart Map:

Jetkey Smart Map Features

Driving Directions Smart Map allows you to search and display driving directions directly within your DNN pages.  No longer send visitors away from your site to view driving directions from point A to point B.  Now you can dynamically display driving directions within your web pages, in fifteen different languages.  You can even pre-set Smart Map to automatically display driving directions between any two locations when the map loads. Or you can pass parameters through the URL to dynamically display any combintation of driving directions. Click here for more information about Smart Map's driving direction feature. Driving Directions: Seattle to Tampa
Local Search No doubt you have used Google's Local search feature to find businesses in proximity to a given address, such as Italian Restaurants near your home address.  Now you can offer this exact same feature directly within you DNN portal using Jetkey Smart Map.   See Introduction to Local Search for more details. Local Search Results: Coffee near Seattle
Database Support Smart Map has a Query Manager component that allows you to design custom queries to pull data from any SQL database for mapping.  You can even "wire" the search box located above the map to a custom query to create a Store Locator map that is taylored to your specific requirements.  You can also pass URL parameters, form field variables and session variables into your queries to dynamically control what data is mapped.  You can also use stored proceedures and views in Query Manager to map data. Custom Query Example
Import Addresses Smart Map has a utility that allows you to bulk-import addresses into the database.  This utility automatically geocodes all addresses on the fly during the import process.

 

Bulk Address Geocoder Geocoding this the process of finding the latitude and longitude of a location so that it can be precisely mapped.  You may have a database table filled with thousands of addresses that have no associated latitude and longitude columns.  Smart Map's bulk geocoding utility allows you to connect to any SQL database and geocode all of your address data.  This utility automatically adds new columns to your database tables and stores the geocode lookup data: latitude, longitude, accuracy, and corrected address.

IP Geocoder With Smart Map you to map your visitor locations, even if they are not registered users.  This utility allows you to pull IP address data from your DotNetNuke site log and geocode the IP's so that it can be mapped. In addition to the bulk geocoding utility, you can set Smart Map to automatically center the map according to each visitor's location.  This works by doing a quick geocode lookup on each visitor's IP address when they first visit your website. Ten Mile Radius around Moscow, Russia
Draw Circles You can draw circles of any radius, color or opacity on Smart Map. You can also query the database for all addresses located within a given radius of your center point.  
Map GeoRSS Feeds GeoRss feeds are RSS feeds with a few extra tags containing spatial data for mapping.  RSS feeds are typically used to publish frequently updated content such as headline news or blog entries.  Want to plot the locations of earthquakes around the world as they occur?  No problem.  See Introduction to GeoRSS for more details.

Map KML Data KML (Keyhole Markup Language) is a file format for managing the display of geographic data in Google Earth and Google Maps.

Smart Map displays any KML geometric objects that render on Google Maps: Placemarks, Points, Line Strings , Linear Rings, Polygons, MultiGeometry , Screen Overlays and Ground Overlays.  For more information, see Introduction to KML.

United States Polygon Example
Map GPX Data GPX or GPS eXchange Format is an XML type format used to transfer GPS data between software applications.  It can be used to describe waypoints, tracks and routes.  Smart Map displays waypoints, tracks and routes from GPX files on the map and in the sidebar.  You can toggle these elements on and off.  See Introduction to GPX  for more details. GPX Example

Please let me know if you have any questions about any Jetkey Smart Map product or the upgrade process.  I'm also available to provide quotes for custom map development work in case you need it.

Best Regards,
