Is there a way to add a legend to Pro Google Maps?

Has anyone found a way to add a legend to Pro Google Maps by Webassist?

I would be a great benefit/addition to be add a legend that would allow a user to select which "type" of group of information they wanted to see (i.e., restaurants, shops, hotels, etc.)

You could populate the map from a record set and filter the record set based on the selected "type"

I am not sure how to do that.

To create my map, I created six separate recordsets - one recordset for each category (bars, hotels, shopping, etc.). I have separate recordsets so that in Pro Maps for Goggle, I can assign a different icon/flag to each category to provide an easy visual cue to the visitor.

Currently, the map shows all six categories with their assigned icon. What I would like to do is have a legend, where the visitor could click a check box or a link which would then show only the businesses matching that category (bar, hotel, etc.)

I know I could create a recordset with everything in one recordset and then filter a particular category (i.e., hotels), but then I would not be able to give them the different icon/flag, because the icons/flas are assigned to a recordset in Pro Maps.

Or am I missing something? Is there a way to use a Filter to hide/show each recordset separately based on a user's selection?

In this case you would need to create a separate page for each type, Create one page to show all the restaurants, another to show the shops, etc...

Thanks Jason - You go me thinking about it more, and I realized I could just create a 7th recordset which included all the locations, but set it up to require a URL parameter. Then with a listing of the hotels, bars, etc., a user could select the one they wanted, and the request location would appear with a Flag/icon point to it.

The only issue is that to do it this way, you have to give that recordset a default location name so that Pro Google Maps can work, but I added a php ISSET and Else to set the selection on location for my default.

This is a good and workable solution.

glad to hear you where able to sort it out.
