Re: New Article - Clustering Virtual Earth on Version 5

Thanks for sharing your example - it is excellent! I do have a question however, I would like to implement an auto-refresh timer that redraws the pins every minute or so. I was thinking along the lines of setInterval either firing the onchangeview event or manually calling _GetPinData but I cannot seem to find where this timer code should go.

Can you provide any assistance with this?

Re: New Article - Clustering Virtual Earth on Version 5

Never mind the above post, it was as simple as using setInterval(this._GetPinData,60000); in the _init() function.

Bug in Clustering Virtual Earth on Version 5?

First off, you're awesome for supplying this code, thanks a lot! It has been really helpful in my Virtual Earth map.

This has been awhile since you've posted this article, but I think I found a bug in the supplied code. I noticied that sometimes in IE 7 that the InfoBox would get stuck on Loading... and never display my data. I found out that occasionally the ajax method returns really fast and interrupts the _PinActivate function. My solution to this was to wrap the call to _getAJAXContent with the setTimeout method and an interval of 100ms.

Nice work, I have extended this to take in categories and use different markers for each category as well as the cluster. Check it out at http://arcserver1.iagt.org/fllowpa/
PS anyone having firefox display issues with the cluster balloons simply add two br tags when it is dynamically created in the javascript...

Re: New Article - Clustering Virtual Earth on Version 5

Great work! I'm using it im my app. However, can I save the map with pins as an image (as shown in your article)? I tried to convert the map into a pdf file but all the pins are lined up as a single verticle line. This happens with either your sample code (v5) or my adaptation (using v6.2). Please help.

Is swillions a legit term? ;P

Good to see the reference to PNG transparency and IE6 in the 'Clustering Virtual Earth 6' article. Nice to know that you still care.

Clustering Virtual Earth on Version 6

Thanks for the great solution and the article about clustering.
I am new to Bing Maps and started with version 6. Unfortunately the download link for the source on www.viawindowslive.com/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=wNUudEQlR5M%3d&tabid=236&mid=721 is not working (ASP Runtime error).
Could you please correct the link? (The images on the page do not work either).

Thanks
