new(url, options = {})

You can pass the following options:

  • :icon: An icon for the items of the feed. Defaults to the classic red balloon icon.
  • :proxy: An URL on your server where fetching the RSS feed will be taken care of.
  • :list_div: In case you want a list of all the markers, with a link on which you can click in order to display the info on the marker, use this option to indicate the ID of the div (that you must place yourself).
  • :list_item_class: class of the DIV containing each item of the list. Ignored if option :list_div is not set.
  • :limit: Maximum number of items to display on the map.
  • :content_div: Instead of having an info window appear, indicates the ID of the DIV where this info should be displayed.
