Couple Qestions about google maps and transitions (redo from another ?)

[MitchellCurtis]

Hi everyone,

The app i'm developing is about road construction, winter road clearing and building construction. The idea is that a user looks at a map of my town and a section of road (under construction) will be coloured and putting the mouse over the road will direct the user to the information page (one of my 3 slides) about cost, time completion etc etc. My questions are as follows, will I be able to colour the map with the google maps that tiggzi provides, how do i make it so that the button i have on the bottom will switch between the three pages, is there a way to add text to another page that will allow for adding of alerts (like this street under, next line this street) and have it one box. Is there a way to change the map to show my town instead of the default. I'm pretty new to this and any help would be greatly appreciated.

The map component in Tiggzi is the standard Google Map component, so yes, you will be able to color it (using the API Google Maps provides).

Are you using the NavBar component in the footer? If yes, you can easily add click event to each button and then use Navigate To Page action to navigate to any page.

Simply set a new address in map properties.

Hope this helps... let us know if we can help with anything else.

On my alerts page, I would like to make a kinda credits style announcement page to show which streets are cleared or under construction. Is there any way to do that?

I have the NavBar and i attached them to each page under 'events' but they dont seem to work in the test area is there more then just linking them to make them work?

I'm still struggling with the google maps, i put in my hometown in the properties section but its still the default. Can you go into more detail about how exactly i will be able to use the google features to change the streets colours or is that somewhere i can see?

I almost feel like If i can get one or two more things straightened out then it will make a lot more sense. Thanks for the responses.

I'm 100% sure I understand how this supposed to look.. any example you can give?

Here is an example app using the map component and navigation via navbar in footer (same would be for header): http://tiggzi.com/preview/25364/

-Insert the map component
-Select the actual component (not the marker) and just set the address.
-Click Show marker.

Here is a screen shot:

As for navigation, click each button (tab). Add click event, then add Navigate to Page action and select the page to which you want to navigate.

My idea for the alerts page was:

Street 1: construction started
Street 2: Deadline extended

And then have the person be able to scroll up and down to view all the added posts. I currently have a text box but i wasn't 100% sure that would work but maybe it will.

The link you sent me, it says I'm unable to view it. Likely because i am on the free service

For Nav. I did the box (all 3) and originally i had done each individually but in the testing place it wont allow me to change between the screens.

Do i need to save things or is there somewhere else i can look instead of bothering you

Sorry, I forgot to make the app public. Try again: http://tiggzi.com/preview/25364/

Is there anywhere like a step by step help. I'm kinda stuck with this and its kinda at a standstill. You have been very helpful though.

My map doesn't stay in the working area of my app. It is currently working but sitting on my title. Any ideas on how to fix that, there is the outline of a map on my app but it says preview not available and the working map is on my title. Weird

Can you share the app URL (Test, check Public)?
