Grid2Map enriches Postal Addresses
Let’s demonstrate how to use the Grid2Map Add-on. A picture is worth a thousand words.
Step 1: Put the addresses in a spreadsheet
Step 2: My Workspace → Add-ons → Grid2Map
Step 3: Addresses on the map
Addresses have become much more meaningful!

I’m in the process of converting my IndyJunior (http://bryanboyer.com/indyjunior/) flash map to a EditGrid Grid2Map combo and all is going well thus far. My question is - is there a way to modify the size of the the Google Map used in the iframe? The current width of 500px is quite thin as I am plotting all of my historical global travel. Changing the value of the iframe width only changes the iframe container not the map itself. Any help or guidance appreciated. Michael

Your question raised the priority to finish the feature that make the map size following the iframe size.
We have just enhanced Grid2Map to support this.
Please try to change the iframe size again, the size of map should also be changed now.
Thank you for using EditGrid and Grid2Map.

Thanks for the update - looks good. It appears you can extend the width however the underlying image remains a constant height independent of the height of the iframe. So I can go to about 600px in width maximum and can’t really play with the height. Thanks again. Michael

Would you please tell us which browser you are using and the URL of your map?
We have made our resize script more cross browser,
it may already fixed the problem.

URL for test is at http://sooper.org/misc/map/. Since posting my comment the height handling has improved but as you can see on the test page the height maxes out and you get a gray band at the bottom and and top of the map. Doesn’t appear to be a particular browser issue as it looks the same on Windows XP under Opera 9.1 beta, IE7, Firefox 2 and under OSX with Webkit Nightly build. You recent improvements are fantastic so I don’t want to be seen as complaining. Great work on the latest update to EditGrid. Regards, Michael

Since last comment have found that scaling up preserving the height and width ratio works well. As per comment on page, next project is to enable valid XHTML embedding using object element and iframe use is not valid. Again, thanks for all of your hard work. Regards, Michael

Is there a way to change the default marker icons?
