This is not really a ConTeXt-related question, but ConTeXt can include
any image you can feed to it, and potentially fetch images from URL on
the fly. So you first need to figure out how to get the image you
want.

See:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/static-maps/intro

You first need your own API_KEY.

If you have problems with the interface, ask on stackexchange or
elsewhere. If you have problems with making as automatic workflow as
possible (once you know how to get your PNGs exactly), you may ask
here. But have the rest of the details ready.

ConTeXt supports "natively" drawing OpenStreet Maps, but I doubt it
would work in your case.

See the attachment (you need to extract the osm file before running context).

There is a LaTeX-Package called getmap. 
http://www.ctan.org/pkg/getmap
It's documentation contains also some remark about how to get
routing. Perhaps you find something useful in it.

[NTG-context] Module for Markdown: any volunteer to make a ConTeXt interface?

[Mojca Miklavec]

Hi,

There's a really nice module for processing markdown:
 https://github.com/Witiko/markdown
that has been presented during the TUG meeting and is included in TeX Live.

It theoretically works for ConTeXt (the output is perfectly usable),
but it needs a cleanup of the user interface to turn the options on
and off.

For example, it would be nice to use something like

\setupmarkdown
[fencedCode=true]

rather than

\def\markdownOptionFencedCode{true}

Is anyone willing to look into the code and help the author fix the interface?

(I can add it to our distribution if needed.)

[NTG-context] expansion in widgets

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Hans,

I have the following sample:

\setupinteraction[state=start]
\starttext
\setupfield [TextSetup]
[width=.5\textwidth,
height=.5\textwidth,
frame=off]
\definefield [SomeField] [text] [TextSetup] [\input knuth]
\field[SomeField]
\stoptext

Would it be possible to have expansion for widgets?

It would be extremely useful and also similar to
\enabledirectives[references.bookmarks.preroll] and
\enabledirectives[interaction.identity.preroll].

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

Wow, that looks like something I need, thank you so much!
Why didn’t anyone publish this as a module or on the wiki?

Thank you.

This looks like something worth porting to ConTeXt :)
Even if implemented from scratch, the package could be used to borrow
the hacks. The syntax is pretty clean (and already relatively
"ConTeXt"-ish):

\getmap[file=berlin, mode=gm, language=de, scale=2, 8 xsize=400, ysize=600,...]

To Jorge: I would probably use LaTeX to fetch the maps and then
include the images into ConTeXt as the first workaround if you need
the maps in a ConTeXt document and need a fast solution.

Re: [NTG-context] include google maps in context document

[DesdeChaves]

Thanks to all for your support.

For now I use Latex for making the images (thanks to Ulrike and  Mojca),
but my heart is on OpenStreet Maps + luatex + Metapost solution (thanks to
Hans et al). Perhaps soon anybody can play with it. For now it lacks a
labels level and it's to hard add particular gps tracks.

Thank you very much to all.

Jorge

Blame me :(

Hans wrote most of the code and told me to document it.

Re: [NTG-context] include google maps in context document

[DesdeChaves]

Thanks for your support.

Can you provide me a example (or a link) for use OpenStreet Maps in context?

Perhaps I can track my displacements with my phone and superimpose those
tracks with the OpenStreet Maps.
