A bit messy…

Today we switched to the Google Maps API V2 and it started to get messy. Not nice… all “old” markers are now not on their right place. They shifted… and we could not figure out how to get this right, because all new markers are on their right position. A quick search came up with this:

One major design shift is that GPoint() is no longer used to identify a geographical location. GPoint() still exists, but it is only used for specifying positions of pixels on the screen. Geographical locations are specified with the new GLatLng() object. (www.mapki.com)

Thats quite disapointing, now we need to find a way how to hold all old entries or we have to go the straight and hard road - delete them all. But we want to switch to the 2nd API version so that we are uptodate and develop on the latest build. It offers several oppertunities which we can implement to get a better system done. So please forgive us if your marker will get lost. But one thing is good: the tag list is reloading when you added a new marker.
