Good point. I just found that my Firefox is now working. (I am running Vista). The Firefox version details are:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.19) Gecko/2010031422 YFF3 Firefox/3.0.19 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0C)
I haven't really changed anything on my box since my last post except add and then remove the Manage plugin and add the NMID CreatePDF plugin but then delete its directory as it had some permissions issues.
Other plugins I am running include Thold, Monitor, Settings and RealTime.
Sorry, my mistake, I forgot to enable write permissions to the XML file. After changing the permissions I got Firefox 3.6.8 to work, but not IE8. Having said that, it does work on IE6.
I seem to have everything working ok except my hosts don't show up on the map. I have the right coordinates for the hosts and I picked icons for everything in the templates. When I am zoomed all the way out I still don't see the hosts so they are not just lost on the map somewhere.
PS: Seems like a really neat plug-in. Keep up the good work even if it's not working for me as easily as it is for others.
PPS: Looks like I got a host to show (well, 2 actually but I can only see one as they have the same co-ordinates). I think I just had to restart firefox.

The plugin is great and the maps work phenomenal, but I'm at a loss on how to build a radius, or flag a device as a tower.
I'm currently using the plugin to map each one of my central offices and the customer base around it. I want to put a 15mile radius around each one of my COs so I can get a good visualization as to density.

You would have to set the AP in the settings to the device type used at your COs. Usually those devices are different. Secondly click on the IP analysis with coverage. This will draw a transparent circle starting at the AP and going to the farthest device on that same IP subnet. If you want just a static 15mile circle radius around the CO devices, then you will have to edit some code.

I have been trying time and time again to produce this error. I originally had an issue with IE giving this error, corrected it and I cannot seem to make it happen. When I get enough time, I have several minor things to fix ascetically and a few things code wise to continue to reduce the number of database calls. I think it may have to do with a switch case I have in place, but I cannot be sure. I'll be slowly working on some changes the next few weeks.
My last year of Undergrad has started and I am of course busy with the workload that places on me. The wireless company that I worked for was sold and so I have been trying to hustle up work on the side as well. Might take a little bit of time, but I'll try and get some work done on this.

HAve each host configurable for different overlays.
I would like to keep it in cacti as much as possible. I guess it would be the same as having an option to create different overlays of wireless, routers, switches, etc all separate to view.
I dont know how far off that would be from your intent of the plugin, but would be nice.

Add a option to add new layers from kml or kmz file.
My idea was like the manage plugin (site >group>hosts) Then one would be able to show or remove them from the map.
I use your plugin to show all my customers connections and info for the noc and sales people. I have imported into the node popup notes from the notices plugin, so I can have the port numbers they connect to and cir id information.
Great plugin.
Looking to get threshold info somehow into the marker next and maybe graph info.
Well, Just an update. School is going well and surprisingly enough, my course load isn't as bad as I had initially predicted. Although, with my 2nd semester in software engineering, the group project may take a good amount of time later this semester.
I've done some thinking about how to implement some of these new features. Staring at my code, re-looking over functions I had written long ago. I've come to the conclusion that in order for this to work properly there is going to have to be some major sections of code torn up and rewritten to suit multiple layers. Lower the amount of PHP code loaded into memory, lower the amount of database calls. The code will hopefully be a bit more modularized so we can call functions out of order when needed. That way later on we can do some neat stuff with importing from external files. I have already found a few bugs that were quite bad for processing in the previous version. Some even processed the all of nodes twice and making 2 times the amount of DB calls. Although, Ive already torn apart my code so much, I'm not even sure if the fix even worked(oops).
Ideally I would like a simple drop-down box with a listing of subnets and you just select the subnets you want and it will change it on the map.
As eternal stated, usage of additional KML/KMZ files. (would a master toggle button work? Toggle to enable all KML file input from within a single folder? or would it be better if the KML was processed then added to the subnet listings?)
Please give me some ideas, I am listening and have my ears open for ideas.
Anyways, like always, don't expect anything done quickly, this is a side project and something to keep my brain active between school and studying. (Hah!)
I am not sure if this is a bug or not but I am able to place markers on the map and there is nothing is the XML file but <markers></markers>. All files in the XML dir are set to chmod 777 and owned by root/root. Like i said if i place the long/lat into a host it does place the host onto the map but i do not see anything listed in the xml file. Also i have noticed that if i change the long/lat back to all 0.0000" the host does not remove from the map. Any ideas on how to fix this problem? I am running the latest verson of cacti and the plugins and plugin install package is all uptodate. Centos 5 is the OS.
I saw one question in this thread with no answer regarding the refresh of the map : "The plug-in doesn’t appear to automatically update the status if the site goes down. Can it be setup to refresh the markers every 60 seconds so it will display a red marker for a site that has suddenly gone offline?"
I also have the same behavior , is it the normal or does a refresh should appear automatically ?
I saw also a screenshot on the documentation with some blue circle around some device not responding (red color) , is it also a feature that is in place ?

The markers are updated when you refresh the page. However, it does not poll the devices. The map only displays the information that the device management page displays. So the devices will update their color if the Cacti poller has changed the status of the device.
I will look into having the mapping software recheck the devices every 60(or specified) seconds. This next version has required a significant amount of refactoring of my previous code and should improve the stability across all browsers. Would a simple page refresh timer be sufficient?
Yes, the feature is in place. In the GPSMap settings set the check box for coverage map and also select a device type to use as a "tower" (aka Access point). This will create a circle from the access point device to the furthest device in that subnet.
