Re: [Flashcoders] Google Maps or Yahoo maps
A few weeks ago I had to create some map application in Flex 2 aswell. I went out and started looking for a solution and came across a Flash Player 9 application that could connect with all types of map services including google. But the source for that application was not available anymore (apparently ordered by google or something). I tried to figure it out myself by going over the JavaScript files. This however would have taken ages as it's quite a complex process that google uses. You can not just get the images directly, you need to send somesort of header I guess. Eventualy I used Yahoo, dug through the scripts and figured out how to load the images. I did not come across the G_map component in my search though, I'm not quite sure how it works but my guess is that you could find out. However this is on the google API's Terms of Use: Your use of this photographic imagery is limited to displaying it to end users within the Service itself, and in the same manner, form, format, and appearance as it is provided by the Service. You may not, nor may you allow others to, copy, distribute, display, alter, or otherwise use, this photographic imagery except as it is provided to you through the Service. This also the reason that I stopped persuing the better images of Google maps.

Re: [Flashcoders] Google Maps or Yahoo maps
you can also give a look at http://www.afcomponents.com/components/g_map/. I had to use it, because Google has better maps of brazilian cities than YahooMaps.

Re: [Flashcoders] Google Maps or Yahoo maps
Hello, I have little experience with the Google API but AFAIK the API is strickly AJAX based. Yahoo! maps on the other hand, has an AS2 based component that you can hack and extend in Flash. They do not have an AS3 based component at this time but released an "AS3 communication kit" that facilitates direct API calls within Flex to the AS2 map though ExternalInterface. Google is the leader with maps. But IMHO Flash/flex is a better performer when layering interactivity on a map and a better development platform.

[Flashcoders] Google Maps or Yahoo maps
Hi everybody, i have a choice very important, i have to use map and interact with them (put a flag and see the nearest flag for exemple, search the road or the distance between two flag). I have to work in flex and i would like your point of view, its better to use google map or yahoo maps in flex ? I think flex and AS API of yahoo are better for the moment but i need senior programmers point of view please. Thanks ! -- PASCAL Cédric IT french student PS : if someone have another solution he could propose it , and some examples too !
