I don't know how many of you have the maps Joy Fisher refers to in the
message below but I am forwarding the message, complete with instructions
for updating your links.
I hope everyone had a great Christmas and I wish all of you the very best
in the New Year!

Subject: [STATE-COORD] Cemetery maps
To: state-coord(a)rootsweb.com
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)
<script
src="
http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=1&key=ABQIAAAAh2cCTTmAE6T4...
"
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!
