Carlos, Are you sure? See: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/faq.html#tos_nonweb
David, using somesort of web-browser control is probably the easiest. And having it reference a webpage online is possibly the simplest - in terms of getting a api key for it to work. (has the benefit you can upgrade the map on yourserver without deploying a new version of your app;) I dont quite follow what you mean by #2, but probably - I think you just saying can you just show a map for a given coordinate. Again using a webpage is possibly the simplest. See http://econym.org.uk/gmap/linktothis.htm for a possible implementation. 2009/1/28 Carlos Montelongo <[email protected]> > > No, no standalone applications. > No, no possible. > > Next step?
