copied!<p>I got it! Although I'm not sure why this is the case. </p> <p>I solved my original problem by setting the map argument to false and then adding touch events to the map container that would scroll the page up and down as I moved my finger up and down. However, that introduced a new problem in that now I couldn't click on markers anymore. In order for me to click on the markers and get the info window I had to click some arbitrary place on the screen. The problem wasn't occurring on Droid, only on iPhone. Plus, I noticed that if I moved the map to the upper left corner of the screen, the problem didn't occur.</p> <p>After testing it on a variety of iPhones around the office, ranging from iPhone 3G - 4 and iOS 3.1 - 4.2 I found out that the problem seemed to be coming when I got the customer's current address.</p> <p>In order to get the customer's current location, I first try to use the "Get Current Location" popup that's native to the iPhone and Android browsers. If they click "Don't Allow" then they can enter in their zip code and get it that way. </p> <p>The problem seemed to be occurring every time I tried using my current location via the form submit than from the popup window, so I concentrated my debug efforts on that.</p> <p>Once I had that zip code I needed to convert it to lat/long. Originally, I had it set up for my plugin to query a php script that I made called dataManager.php. The manager program would take the zip and make a curl request to google maps to convert that into a zip code. It would then return the converted location back to my plugin.</p> <p>I didn't realize that you could geocode zip codes right from the google maps API. All I knew was that url that I could run queries off of. So I edited my code to geocode using the API and let the process run the rest of the way normally.</p> <p>Worked like a charm. Now I'm clicking the markers and the Info Windows are coming right up. Although, I'm still not sure why this fixed it. Nothing changed in the order that these things get processed. The data wasn't different. All that was different was that first step. Maybe it was a timing issue. The API call is much faster than making two HTTP request hops.</p>
