This page is a showroom for the Sunny Side Up Google Map javaScript extension. We need to extend a HUGE thank you to Mike from the Blackpool Community Church Javascript Team, who has been truly amazing in the development of Google maps! Thank you Mike. Please support his charity of choice.

Features include:

  1. user
    1. add additional groups of markers without reloading the page
    2. add and delete markers using right-mouse-click
    3. marker interaction options automatically added to info windows (e.g. see close-up, delete marker, etc...
    4. find directions (in both miles and kilometers) and print them
    5. a variety of ways to show makers in lists (dropdown / list / marker groups)
    6. information about hidden markers (where one is behind another)
    7. numbered icons for ease of grouping markers
    8. corresponding KML files can be downloaded for Google Earth
  2. developer
    1. object oriented coding
    2. ability to update data on server by moving markers (together with PHP)
    3. It is easy to deploy in a variety of places with a large variety of setups (just adjust the configuration function (loadMap())
    4. separation of data (xml) and code (javascript)
    5. no clutter of global space, almost all javascript is contained within one object
    6. use of KML/xml files make the data source files easy to put together and exchange with other projects
