A message regarding maps created using a utility written by Joy Fisher and
David Crosby several years ago. If you used this on your county site,
you'll need to update the code as instructed below.

Subject: [STATE-COORD] Cemetery maps
SC's please forward to your CCs.
A few years back David Crosby and I wrote a utility to generate cemetery
maps using Google maps. The app was written using Google's v1 API.
Google is now up to v3 API. They promised they would maintain compatibility
with v1 API, but last week, they pulled the rug out from under v1 and our
maps no longer work.
David Crosby has written a fix to the Javascript file. If you have our
maps on your county web sites, David Crosby has rewritten the javascript
file so it is compatible with Google's v3 API. My Marion County, Indiana
cemetery map is here:
http://usgwarchives.net/in/marion/cemeterymap/countymap.html
To fix your map(s), here is what you need to do:
1. Go to
http://usgwarchives.net/in/marion/cemeterymap/
and download countymaptt.js (for PCs, right-click on the file name and save
it to your computer)
2 Edit your countymap.html
Find (your key may be different depending on where it is housed)

type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="countymap.js"></script>
3. Replace with
<script
src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="countymaptt.js"></script>
4. Delete your old countymap.js
5. Upload countymaptt.js and your edited countymap.html
6. Check it. Mine required increasing the zoom. Edit your countymap.xml file
with a text editor (not a word processor). Zoom is in the second line -
increase the number by 3 or 4.
Notice that you no longer have to register for an API key!
