I'm using this over at my website, a great tool. Thanks!

However, in this post, http://googlefact.blogspot.com/2006/04/gmap-v2-resizemap.html
google say "all API users would be forced to upgrade from v1 in approximately a month (5/03/2006)".

Is this going to cause much pain? Are you planning to release a version to take account of this? I know the v2 api is already selectable, but lots of things (like the route feature) are disabled if you select this.

Yes it's causing much pain and we're working on getting the module migrated to v2, there is many things that are not working anymore with v2 (changed function names, removed other functions, etc ....)

Evreything that was documented will still be working but all undocumented features will be removed.

GxMagnifier is now compatible with v2 and also the hide/show stuff has a solution. It's mostly a matter of time. Hopefully we will be done in time :-)

See you soon :)
