RE: [Flashcoders] custom map image geocoding service?
Hehe Good one , I was looking little into it and as I see that Mercator projection is easiest to implement (Google , Yahoo , Map24, ... use Mercator Projection) so you can use their tiles. Math is really simple you can find it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator_projection Good luck -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rich Rodecker Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2008 7:40 PM To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] custom map image geocoding service? Wow, I didn't think it would be that difficult. I could have sworn there were some upload your image, we'll hook it up services out there.

I'm building a flash app which requires some mapping functionality.
