Roman,

Is there any hope that this issue will get resolved soon?

It was fixed before, and then someone undid what was fixed?

I am also confused as to why some Google Earth samples work and others don't?
Comment 8 by ylmans...@hotmail.com, Feb 01, 2009
I hope this helps,

Here are two examples from Google that are almost exactly the same, One works and 
the other does not:

Working example:
http://earth-api-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/examples/maps-integration.html
and has "google.maps.Event.trigger(marker, "click");" as the trigger event for the 
baloon

Non Working example:
http://www.google.com/earth/plugin/examples/mapsapi/
and has "GEvent.trigger(marker, "click");" as the trigger event for the baloon

This means that there is something wrong with "GEvent.trigger" as it should work the 
same way as google.maps.Event.trigger


Comment 9 by BarryBHunter, Feb 01, 2009
Some working, some not is because they load different versions of the API. One of 
those loads v2 the other v2.x

You can lock the api to a specific version, probably v2.141, which will then continue 
to work in the short term, even if the latest version of the API is broken. But 6 
weeks down the line or so you should look at changing back to v2 as old versions are 
not maintained forever.

Thanks Barry, But my website isn't working the way it is supposed to because of this.

I can't lock or modify because I am using a third party wrapper for this control. In 
other words i am stuck with what I have.

Do you think I am on the right track with my previous post?
Comment 11 by BarryBHunter, Feb 02, 2009
I doubt it. There are two namespaces for the Maps API functions depending on how its 
loaded, but the functionality of the two should be identical. 

Are you sure you cant find where it loads the API, and change the version number? 
Even modifying the source code directly. 
Comment 12 by ylmans...@hotmail.com, Feb 02, 2009
Hi Barry,

You have no idea how much pain and time you have saved me. I did find it last night 
because of your suggestion and I set the version to 2.x, and presto it works!!!

Thank you so much for pointing that out, I am new at this and I need all the help I 
can get.

Thanks again Barry!

Hi,
I have the same problem, how can i set the correct version?.
I have another question:
if i want to put a building model in the earth layer, which is the instance of the
earth plugin ?
Comment 14 by api.roman.public, Feb 11, 2009
 Issue 160  has been merged into this issue.
Comment 15 by api.roman.public, Feb 11, 2009
Use:

google.load("maps", "2.x");

until 2.x replaces the current version 2

See the Maps API reference for getEarthInstance to add a model to Earth.
Comment 16 by api.roman.public, Mar 12, 2009
Finally fixed as of this morning. (Maps API 2.148 pushed to "2")

Comment 17 by kkax123, Mar 20, 2009
Well actually this isn't fixed... there is problem with <i> tag in description. Try
adding something like:

<i>Hello world</i>

to the InfoWindow and view it in IE7
