GoogleMap Control 4.1 beta released

Posted Tuesday 24, November 2009, 10:30 in ASP.NET, GoogleMap, GoogleMap Control

I just released GoogleMap Control 4.1 beta.
Get it from codeplex, and give it a try.

Release Notes

In this release were fixed some important issues like: large number of markers using geocoding, zoom end event cycling etc.
Some new features were implemented as well, check out the list below.
I would like to highlight the proper implementation of Marker Manager coming in this release.
Check out the list of changes connected with that feature below.

Issues
Features
  • MarkerManager - MarkerManager is used to manage visibility of hundreds of markers on a map, based on the map's current viewport and zoom level.
    • The GoogleMaps API GMarkerManager class is deprecated and I have used the recommended open sourced MarkerManager instead.
    • I have added a new inner property MarkerManagerOptions in order to manager the options for the marker manager.
    • GoogleMarker class was changed and couple of new properties were added to it to: MaxZoom and MinZoom.
    • A sample page was added to Samples Website under /marker/MarkerManager.aspx. Check the sample page online here
    • Check out the short demo video (coming soon)
  • Map
  • Directions
  • Polygon
Changes
  • The Anonymous JS classes' functions were changed to Pseudo-Named functions for better JS debug and error feedback experience.
  • Samples Websites for .NET 2.0 and VB were removed - Sorry, guys, I just have no enough time to support and keep them up to date.
