Question

I’m trying to add a ground overlay to a custom map and have created one successfully using the example at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/groundoverlay-simple.html

My problem is I’m trying to move it somewhere else but my overlay is really stretched whenever I changed the coordinates (I’m virtually guessing). Can anyone help me decipher what coordinates go into the code or have any general tips? The following code from the example asks for 4 values, which one is which?

var imageBounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds(
  new google.maps.LatLng(40.712216,-74.22655),
  new google.maps.LatLng(40.773941,-74.12544));

Answer 1

var imageBounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds(
new google.maps.LatLng(40.712216,-74.22655),//South West coordinates
new google.maps.LatLng(40.773941,-74.12544));//North East coordinates
