Marker not visible!?

VCL TMS VCL WebGMaps

Hello


I try to use a marker. It is a png, 
See here:
http://www.winserion.org/images/001.png

If I add this image with 
WebGMaps1.Markers.Add(lat,lon, 'Title', Icon, true, true, true, false, false, 0, icDefault, -1, -1, -1, -1, 'Text');

only the text is shown on the map, but not the icon.

What do I wrong?

Hi,


I have not been able to reproduce this issue.
The example below is working as expected when tested here:

  WebGMaps1.Markers.Add(WebGMaps1.MapOptions.DefaultLatitude, WebGMaps1.MapOptions.DefaultLongitude, 'Title', 'http://www.winserion.org/images/001.png', true, true, true, false, false, 0, icDefault, -1, -1, -1, -1, 'Text');

It is very strange.


If I use
WebGMaps1.Markers.Add(lat,lon, 'Title', 'http://www.winserion.org/images/001.png', true, true, true, false, false, 0, icDefault, -1, -1, -1, -1, '');

the icon is shown.

If I put the icon from http://www.winserion.org/images/001.png' to 
Icon := 'C:\001.png';
  if FileExists(Icon) then
  begin
    WebGMaps1.Markers.Add(lat,lon, 'Title', Icon, true, true, true, false, false, 0, icDefault, -1, -1, -1, -1, '');

then the icon is not visible.

Can you reproduce it?

When using local files as marker image, please make sure to use a forward slash instead of a backslash.


Example:
  icon := 'c:/001.png';
  WebGMaps1.Markers.Add(lat,lon, 'Title', icon, true, true, true, false, false, 0, icDefault, -1, -1, -1, -1, '');

Note that the next release of TMS VCL WebGMaps will include an improvement to also allow the backslash character in a local image path.

Thank you very much, this solved everything!
