Google Maps – Resolving Copyright Popup on Map Update or User Input

googleiosopenlayers-2

I have used a Google Maps hybrid layer in Openlayers in my HTML5 iOS app for months now and it worked perfectly. Just recently they changed something because the 'Map data…' line at the bottom looks different (light grey background) and whenever you touch the screen or the map position is updated via navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition() the map data copyright box pops up.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so I'd really appreciate any info on any solutions/workarounds you've found.

I saw this answer on the Openlayers mailing list a few days ago. You need to make sure you are providing a version, such as v=3.6:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&v=3.6"></script>

Then it should disappear.

I just saw that this problem has returned on the OpenLayers mailing list. A suggested fix (which worked for me) is to paste the following into the openlayers style.css

.olLayerGooglePoweredBy.olLayerGoogleV3.gmnoprint {
visibility:hidden;
}

You must create your own TMS layer and server side proxy script with crossdomain.xml

package openscalesmap {

import org.openscales.core.layer.TMS;
import org.openscales.geometry.basetypes.Bounds;
import org.openscales.geometry.basetypes.Location;
import org.openscales.proj4as.ProjProjection;
import flash.system.Security;

public class GoogleMap extends TMS
{
    private var _serviceVersion:String = "1.0.0";       
    private var _tileOrigin:Location = null;        
    private var _format:String = "png";     
    private var _layerName:String;
    private var _type:String;
    private var _proxy_url:String="http://proxysite.com/swf/proxy.php?url=";

    public static const HYBRID:String="mt0.google.com/vt/lyrs=h@159000000&hl=ru";
    public static const SAT:String="khm0.google.ru/kh/v=90";
    public static const STANDART:String="mt0.google.com/vt/lyrs=m@159000000&hl=ru";

    public function GoogleMap(name:String, url:String, layerName:String="", type:String=SAT)
    {
        super(name, url, layerName);
        //flash.system.Security.allowDomain("mt0.google.com");
    /*  Security.loadPolicyFile("http://google.com/crossdomain.xml");
        Security.allowDomain( "*" );
        Security.allowInsecureDomain( "*" );*/
        this.projection = new ProjProjection("EPSG:900913");
        this._layerName = layerName;
        _type=type;
        this.maxExtent = new Bounds(-20037508.34,-20037508.34,20037508.34,20037508.34);
    }
    //-------------------------------------------------------------------
    override public function getURL(bounds:Bounds):String {
        var res:Number = this.map.resolution;
        if(this._tileOrigin==null) {
            this._tileOrigin = new Location(this.maxExtent.left,this.maxExtent.bottom);
        }

        var x:Number = Math.round((bounds.left - this.maxExtent.left) / (res * this.tileWidth));
        var y:Number = Math.round((this.maxExtent.top - bounds.top) / (res * this.tileHeight));
        var z:Number = this.map.zoom;
        var limit:Number = Math.pow(2, z);


        x = ((x % limit) + limit) % limit;
        y = ((y % limit) + limit) % limit;
        var url:String =_proxy_url+escape(_type + "&z=" + z + "&x=" + x + "&y=" + y); 

        if (this.altUrls != null) {
            url = this.selectUrl(this.url, this.getUrls());
        }

        return url ;
    }
}

}

And change these lines for your language:

public static const HYBRID:String="mt0.google.com/vt/lyrs=h@159000000&hl=ru";
public static const SAT:String="khm0.google.ru/kh/v=90";
public static const STANDART:String="mt0.google.com/vt/lyrs=m@159000000&hl=ru";

[GIS] Google maps layer as the base layer and WMS as overlays shows empty map

You are facing this issue, because you are using the OpenLayers Library that comes with Geoserver.

This Library is an 'lite' version of the OpenLayers Library, and should not be used for Custom Applications. It has only those classes which are required by Geoserver's preview function. It does not have the additional classes like those required for the various Google Layers.

You need to download the full OpenLayers Library from the OpenLayers Website, and use that in your application.
