removing local stores from google maps

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

I really like the GMapCatcher, this is the first software that I can use to 
create offline maps for my mobile web application.
The only problem that I have is, the local stores and companies appears on the 
map as well, however on the mobile version those are hidden.

Here you can see an image that can be seen in the GMapCatcher:
http://mt0.google.com/vt?lyrs=m@139&hl=hu-HU&x=36236&s=&y=22917&z=16&s=G

Here is the same one without the local stores/locations, in this case the 
Kempinski Hotel:
http://mt0.google.com/vt?lyrs=m@139&src=apiv3&hl=hu-HU&x=36236&s=&y=22917&z=16&s
=G

The diffenrence between the two url is the extra "&src=apiv3" parameter. If 
there was a setting for disabling/enabling it that would be great.

Thank,
David

Hi Standa,

there are two projects which are trying to make mobile web developing easier.
1. jQuery Mobile http://www.jquerymobile.com
2. Sencha Touch http://www.sencha.com/products/touch/

Both of them seems good, the Sencha just released the 1.0 version and jQuery 
will release it in January. I decided to try out jQuery Mobile because of the 
wider browser support.
I am currently developing an offline map with a pub finder. You can search pubs 
around you, see the price ranging, comments and ratings. Thank's to HTML5 now 
you can do almost everything like you would do with a native application, of 
course the are limitations.
If you wolud like to see what HTML5 is capable of than visit: 
http://slides.html5rocks.com
What my application needs to run with full feature are: AppCache, database 
support and geo location. If there is no AppCache or database support than you 
can't us offline, but still able to use it online.

The browsers that I wolud like to target with full features are: Android, 
iPhone, newer BlackBerries and HTML5 compatible browsers like Opera Mobile. My 
application is still under developement and probably won't be finsihed before 
the 1. release of jQuery Mobile.

Hello David

I made the appropriate changes to the code, now the users can set the "src=" of 
the url, there will be a new entry in the configuration file (google_src=) the 
default will be blank.
