The other side of the moon

After my post about converting the geo microformat to a google map, this one adds support for Yahoo! Maps. What I found cool was how alike the two APIs were.

I changed my map creation code to this:

             if(mapAPI == 'G')
             {
                point = new GPoint(lon,lat);
                map = new GMap(adr[i]);
                map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl());
                map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());
                map.centerAndZoom(point, 0);
             }
             else
             {
                point = new YGeoPoint(lat,lon);
                map = new  YMap(adr[i]);
                map.addPanControl();
                map.addZoomShort();
                map.drawZoomAndCenter(point, 1);
             }
             addMarkerToMap(map, point, html);

And the marker addition code to this:

       if(mapAPI == 'G')
       {
          var marker = new GMarker(point);
          map.addOverlay(marker);
          if(html)
          {
             marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html)
             GEvent.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html);});
          }
       }
       else
       {
          var marker = new YMarker(point);
          map.addOverlay(marker);
          if(html)
          {
             html = "<div class='map-marker'>" + html + "</div>";
             marker.openSmartWindow(html);
             YEvent.Capture(marker, EventsList.MouseClick, function() {marker.openSmartWindow(html);});
          }
       }

Which creates as close an experience as possible in both maps.

The map provider should be selected at random, but if you'd like to force a particular map, add #G or #Y to the url. They can be found on the california reviews page.

Let me know what you think.
