Necessary Patch for GoogleMaps 0.07

With recent changes to the Google Maps beta, the following modification is necessary for applications using the GoogleMaps 0.07 Perl module.

Please insert the line:

$gmap->set(gm_version => ".3");

somewhere in your application before you render the image. As an alternative, you may patch the 0.07 GoogleMaps.pm module by changing the ".1" to ".3" on line 57:

$self->{gm_version} ||= ".3";

This works as of 8/4/2005, but it is unknown for how long this will continue to work before further modifications are necessary.

You may find that the new Google Maps API will work better with your project. Nate Mueller's HTML::GoogleMaps module might help if you choose to pursue this.
