    3. SC's please forward to your CCs. A few years back David Crosby and I wrote a utility to generate cemetery maps using Google maps. The app was written using Google's v1 API. Google is now up to v3 API. They promised they would maintain compatibility with v1 API, but last week, they pulled the rug out from under v1 and our maps no longer work. David Crosby has written a fix to the Javascript file. If you have our maps on your county web sites, David Crosby has rewritten the javascript file so it is compatible with Google's v3 API. My Marion County, Indiana cemetery map is here: http://usgwarchives.net/in/marion/cemeterymap/countymap.html To fix your map(s), here is what you need to do: 1. Go to http://usgwarchives.net/in/marion/cemeterymap/ and download countymaptt.js (for PCs, right-click on the file name and save it to your computer) 2 Edit your countymap.html Find (your key may be different depending on where it is housed) <script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=1&key=ABQIAAAAh2cCTTmAE6T4OXjecIFe5BQMxb4e6BwgeSB7cBu9SbVQSak6ARTgAPoctbx36BXXgbYZONZls0B1LQ" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="countymap.js"></script> 3. Replace with <script src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="countymaptt.js"></script> 4. Delete your old countymap.js 5. Upload countymaptt.js and your edited countymap.html 6. Check it. Mine required increasing the zoom. Edit your countymap.xml file with a text editor (not a word processor). Zoom is in the second line - increase the number by 3 or 4. Notice that you no longer have to register for an API key!

Is there anything else we must do to start from square one? Pat Asher
