Messing Around With Yahoo! Maps Part Two
Welcome to part two. In the first part we lookedatadding a new map instance image, adding markers and smart windows and finally, we looked at allowing visitors to add a new marker using an address. It worked well, the new marker was added, but there is still a lot we can do to improve it. The biggest problem is that if the visitor sets a new marker that is further away than the bounds of the current map image, the new marker won't be visible without dragging the map around. Luckily there are a few properties that we can play with to fix this.
