Good Morning,
I have Google Maps setup to do a basic "tracking" of a system of shuttle busses.
http://stuaff.southernct.edu/fitness/temp/
It appears to work, but I'm noticing that the page loads, and appears to work, but periodically the screen flashes black for a second. I'm not certain what that could be.
A secondary issue appears to be that the Marker Icons for stops and busses do not load, that is a different problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Since the assertion is that the HTML5 renderer is using webkit, is there any hope of something like the "console" from Chrome? Or some other way to allow some debugging? I don't really know how else I will be able to debug what's wrong with it?
We recently integrated Google Maps (v3) in a customer project for an interactive trail map on their touchscreen, along with Google Maps for an interactive event calendar.
We ran in to several issues with Google Maps that were solved by using a custom interface (large touch buttons) on top of Google Maps and disabling some of the Google Maps features (like animated zoom, very slow). I did not run in to any issues with the screen going black.
The end result is a map that allows people to pan, zoom, change map type, and touch points for more information - all fed off of KML that is easily edited by the client in Google Maps.
The same goes for Google Calendar, a custom wrapper for proper display on the XD / touchscreen and it works well.
I am not aware of an HTML/JS Developer console for BrightSign, it would be a great feature, but you may be able to get one of the remote debugging tools like jsconsole to work for your needs - http://jsconsole.com/remote-debugging.html

I meant to say we used Google Calendar for the interactive event calendar...not Maps...
Walter, thank you for your advice. jsconsole is working beautifully...
I guess my problem now is that... Google Maps isn't behaving as intended. In your project did you display any "Markers", I kind of assume your points of interest were pngs or jpgs? I was using shapes... I will also have to dig into the settings and disable animated zoom, because it is slow, and unnecessary.
Thomas,
We did display a number of markers, lines, regions, etc.. on the map. See attached screenshot for a reference. Unfortunately, there isn't an option to easily disable the animated zoom in the v3 api, but there are a few posts on the web with suggestions on how to do it manually.
