Wed, 20 Nov 2013GMapEZ 3.0-beta1 released

Versions of GMapEZ before 3.0 no longer work. This is because they used version 2 of Google's Map API and as of yesterday Google has shut that off. To keep your GMapEZ maps working, you'll need to grab a copy of gmapez-3.0-beta1.js, put it on your server, and make sure your script tags are pointing to it.

This is a beta release because some features of the 2.x versions of GMapEZ are not yet working. I'll try to get as many of those features as possible to work before making a final 3.0 release. See the release notes for more details.

Tue, 29 May 2012Hosting update

Despite my long neglect of GMapEZ, many sites are still using it. So when some services on n01se.net were hijacked recently and used to distribute malware, rather than just shutting down the site I have moved it to a separate site where it should be more secure: http://gmapez.n01se.net/

Old URLs redirect here so sites live-linking to the GMapEZ JavaScript should continue to work. If you're hosting the JavaScript yourself (which is still recommended), you will be completely unaffected.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Tue, 28 Oct 2008GMapEZ 2.5 fixes recent breakage

Google made changes to their API in the last day or so that caused GMapEZ maps to quit working, leaving just a logo where the map should be.

GMapEZ 2.5 fixes these problems. It also disables the mouse scroll wheel zoom feature by default -- you can turn that feature back on by including the word ScrollWheelZoom in your map div's class attribute.

If you're hosting the JavaScript yourself (which is recommended), just grab the new JavaScript file, put it on your server, and update your pages to point to gmapez-2.5.js.
