Thread:Talk:Maps examples/Google Maps ground overlays/Example doesn't work.

I'm not sure how to fix this, but the example does not show a map overlay.

The problem can also be seen in Special:MapEditor, where importing the text

fails by giving an empty box. When you right-click the box, the 'Image' field says only 'http', leading me to believe the problem is some eager parsing of the imageoverlays string, which is colon-separated.

Working from that hypothesis, I changed the code to this:

Note the relative image path. This works in the map editor but not, sadly, when including the text on a wiki page. Ok, maybe it doesn't handle relative URIs, so I tried escaping the colon with %3A and &#58;, with no luck. This has been tested with Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.
