Joomla! Google Maps Blog

I've just release version 2.4 of the component. I added some error checking for ampersands so hopefully people won't keep running into this problem. Don't worry if you are correctly using & as there is checking for that too. Next I fixed the problem with coordinate precision. I just had to change the field type from FLOAT to DOUBLE. Now you should get at least 6 or 7 points of precision. Next I added some code to process KML files in the google_maps.js file. I have not tested this code, but for some javascript savvy folk this should prove useful. The last big change is that I made the XML file more space efficient. This won't matter to most people but if you have lots and lots of markers then this will definitely make a difference. Anyway, happy download and remember to post any problems to the discussion board at the forge and not here.
