Hi all, I want to use a Google Maps API in a way-finding application. Basically, I want to guide a user to his destination in outdoor, with GPS receiver and inertial sensors installed.
I want to know whether Google Maps API provides these information if the user's position and altitude have been detected by GPS and inertial navigation system. 1. Can Google Maps provides the orientation of the next street/path he should follow? 2. Can Google Maps provides names of surrounding buildings and their locations? 3. Can Google Maps hints that the user needs to cross a street or take the flyover? I also want to know whether Google Maps API can be used in a non- webpage environment... I know it uses JavaScript but what if I don't want to display a webpage but want to use the information the API provides in my Visual Studio program? I really appreciate if anyone can give some hints. Thanks a lot! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
