    <p>The given solution didn't work for me, because the overlying div creates a dead spot in the map. A better solution for my project, using the Google Maps JavaScript API V3, was to create the reticle on the map as a marker with a 1 pixel rectangle shape. Then use the maps bounds_changed event to recenter the marker.</p> <p>Reticle image is 63 x 63 png. (images/reticle.png)</p> <p>Define the marker image and shape...</p> <pre><code> var reticleImage = new google.maps.MarkerImage( 'images/reticle.png', // marker image new google.maps.Size(63, 63), // marker size new google.maps.Point(0,0), // marker origin new google.maps.Point(32, 32)); // marker anchor point var reticleShape = { coords: [32,32,32,32], // 1px type: 'rect' // rectangle }; </code></pre> <p>After creation of our map (main_map) we add the marker...</p> <pre><code> reticleMarker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: latlng, map: main_map, icon: reticleImage, shape: reticleShape, optimized: false, zIndex: 5 }); </code></pre> <p>Here the var latlng is the same LatLng object used to create main_map. The zIndex should be greater than any other marker zIndex's, to keep the reticle on top.</p> <p>Then we add an event handler to be called when the map bounds_changed is fired.</p> <pre><code> google.maps.event.addListener(main_map, 'bounds_changed', centerReticle); </code></pre> <p>and finally we have the centerReticle() function.</p> <pre><code> function centerReticle(){ reticleMarker.setPosition(main_map.getCenter()); } </code></pre> <p>Since we're not doing anything else with the 'bounds_changed' event we can tidy up the code by passing an anonymous function to the addListener call... This keeps us from having to define the centerReticle() function. </p> <pre><code> google.maps.event.addListener(main_map, 'bounds_changed', function(){reticleMarker.setPosition(main_map.getCenter());}); </code></pre> <p>It actually works pretty slick. I hope this helps others.</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>Skip</p>

    1. COFantastic, yes my solution created a dead spot that is quite annoying, albeit small. Give me a little white to test this out...

    2. COHi Drew, I'm glad you noticed my answer, cause it seems to be the trick. As usual I found your question while searching for the answer, but never got the overlying div away from the top left corner of the map before realizing I wasn't going to be happy with it. I'm currently working on, PithyTwits, a twitter web app. I shy away from the term geocoding because people want to make it all scientifical. I don't do geocoding, I'm just gathering LatLng's and putting them on a map. Here's a couple tweets with screenshots. - http://bit.ly/iuo9Ia http://bit.ly/iTOjeb

    3. COI just got around to trying this and it works perfectly -- no more dead spot! Many thanks. Wish I could vote for this twice :)

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.
