Hi seanoshea, i am having similair problem. I don't want to use any flash in my application. So i've deicided to use a normal Google Map Api like the Roadfinder.air which is much better than flex, google map api for flash and specially the combination of them both. But i can't find any information about obtaining a valid google map api key for normal html, javascript google map in an air application. The entire world is talking about Google Map api for Flash and Flex (i am using Aptana for air development). I've tried to add uri and url parameters in the script tag you get from google code but so far no luck. I really want to know, how the developer of the roadfinder application has solved this.
