Hi Abhijeet. After reading your blog, I programmed my application with GWT-EXT and the MapAbstraction widgets and it worked perfectly well until Google did an update a few days ago (mid-august) to their Map API. I cannot display Google maps anymore in MapPanel .. only text is showing in panel. According to Google recommendations, I changed the way I call the javascript in the HTML entry point but no map is showing up yet (by the way, this is the only modification I made to the code, so the problem seems to be on Google side). Any idea?

Hi Abhijeet, I’m facing difficulties in using MapPanel in a GWT Ext Panel on IE8. This works find in Mozilla and Chrome. But on IE8, the setSize is not working. The code is:

I am creating a widget, the class is inheriting from Panel.

mapPanel = new GoogleMap();
mapPanel.setTitle(“Sites”);
mapPanel.setWidth(800);
mapPanel.setHeight(600);
mapPanel.addLargeControls();
mapPanel.autoCenterAndZoom();

add(mapPanel,new AnchorLayoutData(“100%”));

//Updates etc

Pls let me know what could be the issue

@aj: I didn’t get a chance to run the Netbeans project you linked to. Sorry for that.
@Yulia: Many thanks for sharing your experience!

Sorry, it seems that html isn’t allowed in comments I moved script tags with mapstraction and Google Maps to gwt.xml file and removed type attribute.

Hi aj,

I had the same problem.
I add folowing code in gwt.xml file instead of host HTML file and it helps:

Hi Abhijeet,

Yeah i thought of that “after posting” . The whole web-project builds ok but after running the project the center panel where the map should be displayed is blank. I’m definitely missing something here: Any ideas off the bat where i might have to look?
Edit: Thought it could be a problem with the mapstraction – added the path to WelcomeGWT.html, i.e.,
but to no avail

Hi aj, those are core GWT classes and should be gone if your project references the GWT library correctly. I don’t use Netbeans so I cant say if it has options to directly import Eclipse projects.

Try setting up a skeleton GWT-Ext Netbeans project and then just import the source file from my project and make changes to your host HTML as outlined above.
