Spatdoc, If you are a programmer the below examples would be useful.
Before I tell you all the coding, you just need to take a look into: google maps doesn't rely on the java but on javascript. 1. In order to know what google maps is (even an novice could get easy going) check http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/examples/index.html. just right click see page source for details for how they have done. 2. Here you have to check , here take a look at <b> Map Examples section </b> : Simple Map , Using Latitudes and Longitudes. <b> Marker Examples </b> Simple Marker Creating Simple Icons (I think this might be useful for you, you need not see this because all of the maps from google loads with default icon.) 3. You should also know what is geocoder. Actually Geocoder will find latitudes and longitudes for any given address. These are the points you need before you start any google maps. Now coming to what you have asked for, http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html so you can copy paste from the above sites the codes you want and modify. --- v.srinath On Tue, Mar 9, 2010 at 2:25 AM, [email protected] <[email protected]>wrote: > On Mar 8, 11:32 am, Spatdoc <[email protected]> wrote: > > Heres what I want to do: > > > > 1.
