View pinpoint-information of a Google Map in a UIWebView

Hello,

I'm building an application with a webview of a Google Map with loads of pinpoints. Those pinpoints are already placed on the map, and the map is succesfully embeded in my website.

When I click on a pinpoint in my Safari 'for Mac', I see the information of the pinpoint. When opening my application on my iPhone and start clicking on pinpoints... nothing happens.

Is there a solution for this problem?

(Running firmware 3.1.2)

I don't believe so. I even removed one of my apps from the iTunes Store because of this. I think the problem is with the way Google Map processes the click on the pinpoint (it may use Flash).

On second thought, Google is not using Flash since the pinpoints work under Safari on the iPhone.

I did another test and something seems to have changed since I had trouble with my app. If I place a href for [this URL|http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=1093915278307402071 25.0004463abd2c899f08839&z=14] into a WebView and tap the link to load it the pins work in the WebView!

See if your page works with fewer points.

That's probably the problem with my app. I have +/- 250 points. Your URL works fine in my app, my URL (same URL as yours, but with a different MSID variable) does not work 😟
