GoogleMaps Type: SATELLITE OR NORMAL

  • I noticed a difference in the settings for the maps between Virtual Tours and normal panorama concerning the setting of maptype.

    In the virtual Tour skin settings, (i refer to the downloads example for demo-corfu) the maps_type attribute is either "google" or"bings" and I can't get the SATELLITE mode off on default loading(i.e to NORMAL")

    In the downloads example GOOGLEMAPS, the maptype="SATELITTE" seems to controls this setting.

    But I have used this attribute (maptype="NORMAL") in the virtual tour skin settings; no change still; the satellite mode still on. How to set the maptype to NORMAL in Virtual Tour by default?

  • Hi,

    the skin_settings.maptype setting has nothing to do with the plugin map_type settings!
    That's a skin setting to choose between Google and Bing maps.

    Have a look in the vtourskin.xml at the "skin_map" <layer> element for the maptype="satellite" setting there.

    Best regards,
    Klaus
