One recomended improvement... when you drag a marker onto the map the infoWindow should automatically open to practically force Users to fill out some data. Is this possible? Again, well done on excellent use of the API. Hello,

I don't know if anybody pointed it out, but on my Mac and the Safari browser, it just doesn't wanna work fine. The scribbling and the path overlays in general don't display properly, or not at all. With Opera, even worse. Both version of the browsers are latest. Hi Ken, thanks for this beautiful tool. i use it extensively on my website.

You can build one if you like. It would seem to me the API would consist of some JavaScript helpers, and perhaps some helpers for loading / storing the map data.

Is it likely that you can backport the eraser to be used in existing quikmaps ? Excellent tool BTW - thanks very much. Hi Ken,

Try entering "Brisbane, Australia". --Ken twobob,

I'm really a newbie, but am having fun with it already! Quick question regarding the "My Hometown" search box within the editor. When I type in a name where there is more than one city, I get the message "Sorry, unable to geocode that address". On the qmaps.com site, a menu appears asking the user which city they were looking for. Is there a way to get this on your Qmaps App to? (Try Brisbane or London and you'll see what I mean). Also, is there anywhere specific you'd like users of your app to post feedback, or are you happy for us to ask support questions here? Cheers, twobob Hi Ken
