Class: GoogleTileLayer

OM.layer. GoogleTileLayer


new GoogleTileLayer(name, config)

OM.layer.GoogleTileLayer defines a map tile layer that displays Google Maps using
Google Maps Javascript API V3.

To use the Google Maps tiles, you must have obtained a Google Maps API Key from Google.
You will be prompted to enter your API Key and, when applicable, your Google “Client ID”.
Usage of the tiles must meet the terms of service specified by Google (see https://developers.google.com/readme/terms).

Google Maps tiles are rendered in a projection system known as Spherical Mercator.
If you need to overlay your own spatial data on top of the Google Maps tile layer, you
must setup the database to properly handle coordinate system transformation between
the Google Maps coordinate system and your own data coordinate system if they are not
the same. Please refer to MapViewer User's guide for more information.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
name String

A unique tile layer name

config Object

The Google tile layer configuration. It can have the following
attributes:


  • mapTypeList {Array} An array of available map types. Can be one or more of the following pre-defined values:
    OM.layer.GoogleTileLayer.TYPE_ROAD;OM.layer.GoogleTileLayer.TYPE_SATELLITE;
    OM.layer.GoogleTileLayer.TYPE_SHADED;OM.layer.GoogleTileLayer.TYPE_HYBRID

  • mapTypeVisible {Boolean} Show or hide the map type list

  • tilt {number} The only allowed values are 0 and 45. The value 0 causes the map to always use an overhead view
    regardless of the zoom level and viewport. The value 45 causes the tilt angle to automatically switch to 45 whenever
    45-degree imagery is available for the current zoom level and viewport, and switch back to 0 whenever 45-degree imagery is not available
    (this is the default behavior).

  • libURL {String} The Google maps javascript lib url

  • mapType {String} Specifies the default map type

  • key {String} your Google Maps key.

  • clientID {String} Your client ID identifies you as a Maps API for Business customer:
    Application must import the following scripts to allow URL signing:
    http://crypto-js.googlecode.com/svn/tags/3.1.2/build/rollups/hmac-sha1.js
    http://crypto-js.googlecode.com/svn/tags/3.0.2/build/components/enc-base64-min.js

setZIndex()

Set the z-index for the layer.

the number of layers that are currently displayed in the map. When the newIndex
parameter of setZIndex is less than 1, it will be set to 1. If it is

to another layer, then it will still be assigned to the current layer (on which this function is invoked).
