A WebBrowser control is not a browser, in my opinion. A browser allows the user to input arbitrary urls, and "browser-based" means that the application runs in a browser which allows that. A WebBrowser control allows the display of pages which are pre-defined within the application rather than any arbitrary url chosen by the user. Normally, anyway -- there would be no reason that the user could not be given an input box for an arbitrary url; but I doubt you're doing that. A WebBrowser control *may* not be capable of running the Javascript API. You should satisfy yourself about the status of a WebBrowser control. Developers here aren't lawyers and tend to take a conservative approach. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
