AJAX Maps Version 3.4 Is Here

The latest version of the Yahoo! AJAX Maps API includes performance improvements, numerous new features, bug fixes and a smaller footprint.

• Polyline support allows you to draw lines on a Yahoo! Map.
• Polylines with GeoRSS can be drawn on the map using the coordinates of your choice.
• Local Search is now built-in to the API so that results from local.yahoo.com can be plotted on your map.
• Traffic overlay information is built-in allowing you to display traffic information from maps.yahoo.com on your map.
• GeoRSS export functionality let’s you export your map application into the portable GeoRSS standard.
• An additional 20+ methods, like auto-fitting zoom level when specifying radius.

There’s more information in the getting started guide. Make sure to join the yws-maps group to find the answers to your questions when building mashups or implementing Yahoo! Maps.

    Hi,

    This is great news. A feature still missing is the ability to auto resize the label. I’m putting a number on the label. Currently it can only hold 3 digits and since I’ve > 1200 points on a map, the last digit drops of the label (in fact it’s somewhere in the shadow of the marker). Not so nice.

    […] I’ve meant to dig into Yahoo’s new support of GeoRSS since the announcement in September. […]

    I have two options. Go with your new AJAX format at this page http://www.nbc-2.com/Traffic/yahoomap-AJAX.shtml , which gives me up-to-date info, but doesn’t make it easy for me to add the Navigator pane in the top right corner…or assign icons to the traffic incidents along with giving the legend in the bottom right corner.

    Or…go with how I’d like my map to look http://www.nbc-2.com/Traffic/yahoomap.shtml But, all the data I get is from Nov 28th.

    Why is the data old on one version and the cool features are not given in the newer version?
