Is it also possible to add the management of several concurrent vehicles? I had seen something similar on http://apps.viamente.com/demo/ but I soon realized it's a commercial service.

I see you are using the map I was referring to. Not sure what I was seeing before! Ah, disregard my second question… I see you are using the map I was referring to.

Is there a way we can pass URL parameters to specify the map size? A bigger map would be more useful. Also, you appear to be using an older version of the google map... would your implementation work with the newest one (with zoom bar, etc.)? This is a very impressive implementation, thank you.

The “Add list of locations” button does not work in FireFox.
Why?

I've implemented this as an optional parameter to the query string, just like you suggested. This should now work: http://gebweb.net/optimap/index.php?loc0=34.756658,-92.44785&name0=BurgerKing&loc1=34.754084,-92.420194&name1=McDonalds Geir Hi Jeremy,

This is a useful idea! I’ve implemented this as an optional parameter to the query string, just like you suggested. This should now work:

I'd love to be able to display a name rather than the lat/long on the output page. So instead of it saying "34.756658,-92.44785" it could say "Burger King" (or my text of choice). Perhaps it could be added as an input on the query string, like: http://gebweb.net/optimap/index.php?loc0=34.756658,-92.44785&name0=BurgerKing&loc1=34.754084,-92.420194&name1=McDonalds This would really make it helpful when directions are printed out. Jeremy Gier,

I looked in the source and it's very impressive, especially considering the tools available for coding JavaScript. Thank you for making this available.
