Embedding google map in Indesign for DPS

Has something changed with the lastest update ....?
In the past, when I needed to place a embed a map, I just went to google pick up the embed code and Cmd V into Indesign. I'll see a static image but it is "live" when when tested on the iPad.
Since the update, this does not seem to work anymore... the embedded code is not a static image on on iPad during testing.
Am I the only one experience this issue? Or am I doing soehting wrong?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks Bob. I could have sworn that I downloaded the lastest update! I had just downloaded the update again and checked the dates. The last update I had was the version of 23 jan 2013. The one I just downloaded as per your advice was 30 Jan 2013. Seems to be working again!

Issue in Develop mode for embedding google map

Hello,
I am facing an interesting issue in Develop mode for embedding google map html code (screenshot is attached)
The map rectangle showing almost same size box underneath filled in black, while in preview mode, it is working properly. I could not find the reason, where I am doing something wrong.
Many thanks .

Hi Muzeone,
Its a default behavior with every WYSIWYG HTML Designer or editor,
Reason :The black box which is appearing in the design view is because you might have tried increasing the size of the iframe thumbnail.
If you are using Iframe and using Insert HTML feature in MUSE, make sure when you paste the iframe code in MUSE, it creates a thumbnail in design view do not resize it in design view.
Size does not change the height and width of Iframe in MUSE as its being controlled by the codes that you are inserting.
The design view will only show you iframe height which is defined in the codes below that it will show a black box.
Enjoy working with MUSE !!
Thanks

Embedded google maps disappear upon launch

First of all - amazing product! I am still going through the enormous amount of features.
I am now trying to create an ibooks author widget to display an embedded google map in my ibook. I have done it according to the instructions described in your help page, but I must be doing something wrong - when I double click on the widget, the map loads, but inmediately dissapears, showing just the background layer (and there's no turning back). I have not touched any settings, nor added any styles. I have only added the embed code inside the html layer.
Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? It's probably just a newbie mistake, but I am completely lost. Any ideas will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks for reading.

Do you have any restrictions on Google's use of cookies or local storage? Do you notice any different logged in vs. logged out of your Google account? Have you tested with your extensions disabled?
I was going to suggest zoom, but it sounds as though you have reset zoom. Note that when Google Maps is framed, the reset might not drill down into the framed page; I should test that.
These threads were along the zoom lines, but not resolved. Might be something here you haven't tried?

When using the iPad 2 to browse the National Weather Service the embedded Google map can not accurately point to the correct location when tapped. Is there a solution?

For example, using the iPad to check various locations around Davis, ca on the NWS website, the embedded google map is grossly off location.
http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Davis&state=CA&site=STO&textFi eld1=38.545&textField2=-121.739&e=1
Then, using the ipad, if I tap on Sacramento, I get a location to the southeast near Angel's Camp.
This problem occurs also on embedded map at summitpost.org. Same problem (Also a Google map). Tap on a point and it displays info of an area off of where I was looking.
Thanks!

Same problem with iPhone. Use to work with an earlier version of Operating System.

The website may alter its page display based on the browser ID that is transmitted to the site from your browser. Some browsers on the iPad like iCab allow you change the browser ID to something desktop-oriented. Safari does not provide this capability.

School diary in Indesign for DPS

Does anyone know if you can create a reliable school diary in Indesign for DPS that can be used for daily planning and reminders?

If you mean, that the student can use it to add homework etc. to a list then no, not without a bunch of html and custom code.

Error "a plugin is needed to display this content" for embedded Google map, but no plugin identified.

When I try to view a page that has a Google map embedded on the page, I get the error message "a plugin is needed to display this content". However, I don't know what plugin, where to get it, etc. I've tried searching for this issue but haven't been able to come up with anyone else experiencing a similar issue, nor does there seem to be a plugin for Google Maps that I can find.
The page is here:
http://osiama.org/lodges#
The map displays when one of the links is clicked in the table.

I'm not sure why, but the site uses <embed> for the map instead of <iframe>.
When Firefox wants to render an <embed>, it needs to know what type of object is being embedded, and the site doesn't supply that information, so you see a generic "I don't know how to handle this" error.
Unfortunately, I don't think there is a quick workaround for you as the end user. If you are the type to tinker, you can manually edit the code of the page in the web console as follows:
* right-click the plugin message and choose Inspect Element (Q) - the web console will open to the Inspector, with the <embed> element selected (screen shot #1)
* double-click embed and edit it to iframe, then press Enter to finish the edit
* Firefox will now load the map (screen shot #2)
This isn't a general fix-all for plugin errors, and ultimately the site will need to change this.

How do I use an Edge Animate project with SVG files in InDesign for DPS output?

Is there any way to include an Edge Animate web content using .svg files in InDesign for output to DPS?
Edge Animate works great with InDesign, except for when you're using SVG files. I've worked with SVG files on the web successfully (writing .htaccess files and such), but it seems like InDesign doesn't like them.
This is pretty important because I don't want to have to design multiple renditions on the DPS suite. Currently I have it setup as a PDF format (DPS) and that scales all of the vector-based type perfectly. It would be wonderful if the animations could also be in a vector format so that when the iPad (3) users see the designs, they will scale naturally through the PDF framework.
Any advice would be invaluable.
Thanks!

Custom Google Map Widget Control for Guide Builder

Hi,
I would like to build a custom control for Guide Builder. This custom control will basically wraps around the Google Map control (provided by Google api for Flex/as3). This custom map control can then be used as part of Guide Builder when building the guides.
I am not sure how to go about doing this, or if this is at all possible. I just want to get an idea before I attempt to do this. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Nelson

I'm still looking for help on this one, anybody? Thanks.

Can't place Edge file in InDesign for DPS

I'm making an animation to play at the beginning of a DPS article, and I can't get it to place in InDesign. I've set the publish settings for DPS, and exported the animation as a .oam file, but when I go to place it the file is grayed out, or I get an error message saying "Cannot place this file. No filter found for requested file." I'm in InDesign 5.5 so not sure if that's affecting it. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Only Indesign Cs6 supports .oam files

Google map app update for IPAD??

Does anyone know when the the google maps App will be updated and available for the IPAD, since the Iphone update has been completed. thanks

Google's YouTube app was originally iPhone-only, but they made an iPad version about a month later. It's safe to assume that Google will do the same with its Maps app.

Embeded Google map (iframe) not displaying correctly after jquery .fadeIn?

Hi,
I have created a popup window that displays a Google Map after a button is clicked. The map works fine if the popup window =display:block. But as soon as you give the popup window display:none and use jquery to display the window them map doesn't load correctly.
Any help would be great.
See jsfiddle for code.
This is what the map should look like after the "Venue" button is clicked using jquery fadeIn.
Thanks

Anakin-
I'm getting a decompression error when downloading your site.
you might try...
var container = sym.$("container");
var map = '<iframe width="'+container.width()+'" height="'+container.height()+'" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=7120+Boul +St+Laurent,+Montreal,+QC,+Canada&aq=0&oq=7120+boul+st&sll=45.534114, - 73.617124&sspn=0.006907,0.016512&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=7120+Boulevard+Sai n t-Laurent,+Montr%C3%A9al,+Communaut%C3%A9-Urbaine-de-Montr%C3%A9al,+Q u %C3%A9bec+H2S,+Canada&t=m&z=14&ll=45.534114,-73.617124&output=embed"></iframe>';

When will google maps app available for Turkish users?

Maps on İOS 6 is very bad for Turkish users because i couldn't find any of my location which i want to find regularly. But Google maps better than Apple maps. When will we reach the google maps app in Turkish Apple Store?

Like it or not, it is the answer.
Google maps available in US. Why Apple dont put this app all over the world store?
Apple doesn't have anything to do with Google Maps, Google does, as its their product & they decide where its available.
