Re: [backstage] Google Maps API

[Duncan Barclay]

Hi, That looks really nice, especially the London bombing map.  I have been trying to use the Google Maps API, but can't work out how to get _javascript_ to like getting the points and other data from an XML file.  I will have to look into it a bit more. It is quite amazing what you can do with the new API isn't it ... Duncan Kosso wrote: hi.

He tends to dictate it whilst walking around London - cue much merriment about getting rained on, etc. How easy would it be to strip out location / placename data from the emails, and map 'Where's Melvyn?' on to google maps? Possibly with a link to download/listen again to the episode he talks about? A very silly idea, I know, but quite cute... I'm interested in ideas that spatially locate programming and content. You could imagine being stood on waterloo bridge and your mobile suddenly going off, delivering you that week's podcast...   Kim (BBC type, project manager in Interactive Drama and Entertainment, can't code for toffee...)
