kmz/geoxml3: How to suppress "To Here - From Here" line in infowindows?

559 Views Asked by At

Since moving from google.maps.KmlLayer to geoxml3 I now have "To Here" and "From Here" links on a new line at the bottom of each infowindow. How do I get rid of those?

After I posted the original question above, I figured out that this happens with the kmz branch but not the polys branch. I need the kmz branch, to deal with markers with shadows, which are either wider than 32 pixels or off-center.

I could be out of my depth, but looking at the KMZ source it seems that kmz/geoxml3 will always add the Directions line if there's a latlng for that placemark, which is to say for every placemark.

So, unless there's an infoWindowOption or something I'm not seeing, I guess all I can do is hack out the code that loads geDirections, around lines 1206-1215. But is there some way to suppress that line without hacking kmz/geoxml3?

The current map is at http://allbluesdance.com/bluesmapgeoxml3_005.php, and the code (with text styling removed) is:

                zoom: 2,
                preserveViewport: true
            };
            var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"), mapOptions);   
            var blues = new geoXML3.parser({map: map, singleInfoWindow: true, zoom: false});
            blues.parse('http://allbluesdance.com/allbluesdance_003.kml');
        }

        google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);

Added an option to suppress the directions links in the infowindow in the KMZ branch of geoxml3 (revision 113 of the KMZ branch)

use it like this:

var blues = new geoXML3.parser({
              map: map, 
              singleInfoWindow: true, 
              suppressDirections: true,
              zoom: false
            });
