Hi, Please take a look at this site:<a href="http://projects.latimes.com/mapping-la/neighborhoods/">http://projects.latimes.com/mapping-la/neighborhoods/</a>.<br>I have copied the source and cleaned it up of ads and so forth and have put in my data and I just can not see the overlay on the Google map. <br>
I will include the changes I made below. The only thing I can think of that is blocking my overlay is the bounds. Basically, I want the country of Ethiopia. <br>Just to complicate things further, my overlay was showing when I did not use a spherical mercator projection but the overlay matched what is in Google maps ONLY when I zoomed in. <br>
so after reading some of the issues some people had, I figured I should use what is in the Mapping LA w/minor changes. <br>Can someone suggest a solution? BTW, the overlay switch works and gives my overlay as a check box option to click on but it is not displayed on the Google map<br>
Here are my changes to the Mapping LA Neighborhood source:<br><br>var max_extent = new OpenLayers.Bounds(860986,-4383204,5870363,3600489);<br> index_map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.LayerSwitcher());<br><br>var hood_polygon_371 = wkt_f.read('MULTIPOLYGON (((39.2968382026 8.8274792477, 39.3135039775 8.748488041, 39.3016324666 8.742095689, 39.3036871512 8.7357033371, 39.269899005 8.6920983646, 39.2315448931 8.6608214995, 39.2265223308 8.645982111, 39.2479823696 8.6108241751, 39.2249242428 8.589135838, 39.2221846634 8.5756662392, 39.2306316999 8.5656211146, 39.257114301 8.5601419558, 39.2502653525 8.5464440587, 39.2139659251 8.5220161421, 39.1744703218 8.4606039034, 39.0858905871 8.385037171, 39.0758454626 8.3950822956, 39.0381762455 8.399419963, 39.0363498593 8.5128842107, 39.0671701278 8.5432478827, 39.0655720398 8.5562608849, 39.0872603769 8.5968979797, 39.0874886751 8.6528310595, 39.10415445 8.6825098366, 39.0982186945 8.6939247509, 39.1075789242 8.7101339291, 39.1603158281 8.742095689, 39.1840588498 8.7877553461, 39.1767533046 8.8019098398, 39.2014095194 8.8146945437, 39.2057471869 8.8039645243, 39.2199016805 8.8012249449, 39.2461559833 8.8299905288, 39.2710404964 8.8224566854, 39.2968382026 8.8274792477 )))');<br>
