GoogleMaps changed format
Hello,

I noticed that just in the last day or few that Google has changed their mapping formula (I believe they have increased the number of zoom levels, and now you can zoom-out to view the entire globe among other changes).

All new request for map pieces (as far as I can tell) don't work :-) I get maps full of water!

I've been looking around, only started to investigate what the changes are and what modifications might be necessary to make the module work with the new formatting. Anyone else interested? Karl, have you noticed this also and/or looked into how things have changed?

The module is great -- I use it internally for visualizing where member signups are coming on a community web service project I'm working on.

Also -- I've added some custom methods to the module to allow me to generate population-density-type maps. It'll draw heat-graph style circles on top of a map (where red thru yellow indicates more "people" in a given area). Anyone else interested? I can post the code.

Cheers,
