[maplab-users] Query question

[William A. Bronsema, C.E.T.]

Hi Richard,

I'm not sure if this will help or not, but FYI -

There is a constant defined in the globprefs.php file for your 
gmapFactory application that should look something like this (
In my version it is on line 65):

define( "MIN_RECT", 5 );

This constant controls the difference between a "point click" and 
"rectangle select".  Essentially all interactions with the map are 
"rectangle selects".  This constant tells the application the threshold 
at which the user was intending to perform a "point click" (i.e. a tiny 
rectangle) instead of a "rectangle select".

In the case of querying, if the value is too small then more often than 
not a tiny rectangle query will be performed instead of a point query 
which can lead to confusing results.

HTH.

Regards,
Bill
