Notes

Purpose of the Mod

The purpose of this mod is to increase the height of the Google map to that of the list of events.

Introduction

This mod uses the number of pins in the Google map multiplied with a predefined value to calculate the height of the map. This number is currently 48, which is about 3 lines of text plus some padding around the event text.

Things that makes the Google map too small

  • If your event have more the three lines of text due to long place names then the number 48 is too small and will the create a map which is too small.
  • Notes and or events with long descriptions. Try to add the description text as a note instead.
  • If you are using the Consolidate Duplicate Pins the Google map will automatically be shorter since the number of pins are fewer than the number of events in the list to the right of the map.
  • Your browser window is too small. The events list on the right side of the Google map becomes squished and much higher then normal if your browser window is too small.

The Scroll Map events provides an alternative behavior to this mod, by creating a scroll bar for large number of events.

Developer

  • The Google Maps - Adjust Map Height Mod functionality was originally developed by Phillip Olsson.
  • The Mod Manager configuration file was created by Bryan S. Larson.
