    <p>As of today (20 November 2013), the Google Static Maps API documentation has not been updated to reflect a change in the display of custom icons that appears to be linked with the retirement of Google Maps API v2.</p> <p>Prior to the v2 retirement, static maps custom icons displayed a shadow (shadow:true was the default); their "anchor point" was set at the bottom center of the custom icon image, from where the shadow was cast. Now, shadows are turned off by default (a bug?) and the anchor point is set at the center of the custom icon image. The image effectively obscures the point, making my maps "pointless".</p> <p>To remedy this, I added <code>visual_refresh=false</code> to my URLs. The visual_refresh parameter was introduced earlier this year as a way for developers to opt-in to the new, beautified maps. See: <a href="http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.ch/2013/05/a-fresh-new-look-for-maps-api-for-all.html" rel="nofollow">http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.ch/2013/05/a-fresh-new-look-for-maps-api-for-all.html</a></p> <p>The example image illustrating Google Static Maps custom icons (see: <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/staticmaps/index#CustomIcons" rel="nofollow">https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/staticmaps/index#CustomIcons</a>) no longer displays as it should (shadows on by default). Adding <code>visual_refresh=false</code> to the image src URL returns the map to its intended state.</p> <p>I don't know for how long this solution will be necessary. It would be great if someone from Google would update this question when the Static Maps API is corrected! </p>

    1. COI guess 'flat' is in and 3D is out.. but map pins need to be in the right place!

    2. COYes, same problem here... the workaround I used was to double the image. Basically, Google centers the pin to its location. So if you add some transparent pixels below your image (basically double the height and place the actual image to the top) it works. Hackish but does the job.

    3. COThanks, I read a similar idea on another thread. As it is, custom markers are rendered useless. I expect that this will eventually be acknowledged as a bug. There is no 'point' if the marker covers up the place being mapped.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
