 * Hi
 * I am not seeing some of the map parameters in my map when I use:
 * [responsive_map lat=”51.44303″ lng=”7.01247″ title=”test title” height=”400px”
   zoom=”14″ pan_control=”true” scale_control”true” zoom_control=”true”]
 * I am using Firefox and WP Discovery child theme.
 * The lat/long, height and zoom are all working the others are not.
 * Perhaps I am not doing something correctly.
 * Test map is at:
    [http://www.hotel-accommodation.co.uk/location/](http://www.hotel-accommodation.co.uk/location/)
 * Any help appreciated.
 * Thanks
    Tony

 * Hi Tony,
 * this is actually a common problem with responsive sites and google maps.
    Try
   the following css inside your cild-themes style.css. This should work out for
   most cases.
 * .responsiveMap label {
    width: auto; display: inline; } .responsiveMap img { 
   max-width: none; max-height: none; }
 * Hope this works out for you!
 * Also there is a typo in your shortcode example. There is an ‘=’ missing after
   scale_control.
 * If you have any more troubles with the plugin please let us know!
 * Regards,
    Ilja

 * Thanks Ilja
 * That fixed most things (typo also corrected)
 * [responsive_map lat=”51.4″ lng=”7.01″ show_marker=”true” title=”test title” height
   =”400px” zoom=”14″ pan_control=”true” scale_control=”true” zoom_control=”true”
   map_type_control=”true” overview_map_control=”false”]
 * I cannot get the title to work (not essential for me). Also, is it possible to
   allow dragging the map as well as using the pan control?
 * The plugin is the best I have come across for what I want to do so I will be 
   rating it shortly with 5 stars.

 * Hi Tony,
 * good to hear that the plug-in does it’s job!
    The drag functionality is quite
   an issue. The problem is, that when enabled, users will experience problems on
   touch devices. They will be able to scroll over inside the map, but not be able
   to °overscroll” the map itself. This can be quite frustrating. So the dragging
   feature is disabled.
 * However we are thinking on implementing something to enable scrolling on desktop
   devices but prevent scrolling on mobile.
 * We’re trying to keep the code as slim as possible, so it takes us a day or two
   to find the „best” solution.
 * Meanwhile you could modify the responsiveMaps.js which is located inside of the
   js directory. Set „draggable” to „true”. This should be somewhere around line
   95 of the file.
 * We’ll have a look into the title issue.

 * Hi Ilja
 * OK that makes sense – scrolling on mobile devices is a potential problem with
   no easy solution.
 * Any reason why I cannot get title=”test title” to work?
 * Keeping the code slim is a good aim. The only other feature that I would like
   to see is an alternative marker image. No doubt I can fix that by modifying the
   code.

 * Hi Ilja,
 * I took a quick look into the code. The title was a bug within the JS – it’s fixed
   now. Dragging can now be enabled as well.

 * Hi Ilja
 * Dragging works fine on my laptop – not managed to test touch screen device.
 * I have turned off the scroll zoom feature – is this disabled for touch screen
   devices as well, in which case I will turn it back on?
 * Another suggestion – the title – could this be displayed as an option? At present
   it is mouse over display.

 * Hi Tony,
 * the scroll zoom features doesn’t affect touchscreens as far as I know. So it 
   can be turned on without having any trouble.
 * We will check out the possibilities to display the title in the map. Maybe there
   will be some time for that next week.

 * Thanks Ilja
 * If you want some more ideas for adding functionality (but still keeping it all
   simple)
 * – allow an alternate map centre lat/long
 * At present the centre is the same as the marker.
 * Pro Version?
 * – allow secondary markers perhaps with a different marker
    – allow links on markers
 * These are just ideas for you to consider – the last two could be wrapped in a
   pro paid for plugin maybe.
