GoogleMaps problem

[Adrian Hughes]

Just a quick one.

Id love to add a Google Map on the bottom of my pages with a custom map marker in the shape of a heart.

I designed the artwork, uploaded it to my server and linked to it in the GoogleMaps setup properties section of the GoogleMaps Extension.

The page loads, but the custom marker takes AGES to appear, sometimes a few mins !!!!.... which isnt much use to me.

Is there anything I can do to make the marker appear instantly?

Map can be found on this page: http://letsplanyourwedding.co.uk/swanse ... ayout.html

Many thanks for looking

No problem here, loaded straight away maybe your browser history needs clearing or you have a slow connection ?

Thanks for your reply.... cleared cache and history and everything I can think of in FireFox.... reloaded page again and it waits EXACTLY 2 mins before it renders the red heart !!!..... It really has got me baffled !....be nice to know if others see the heart apprear instantly

The heart loads INSTANTLY in IE, takes forever in FF, and I didin't see it at all in Chrome or Safari.

I have checked the extension in preview using the heart image and in all the following FF, Safari, Chrome, Opera and IE the map loads instantly... I have even tried with all the map icons that I have made a download to and each time the page loads within secs.....

If you can give a Step- By - Step in how you are using the extension and how you are inserting the image used then I may be able to give you a more precise answer to what or what not maybe wrong.
