Re: Map Widget - how does it actually work?

Graham, My demo stack was enhanced a lot by Hermann but I don’t know where it is, after a cursory search. He added a bunch of other capabilities, but I felt a quick look at the Google map docs would make it easy to add them. His expanded version may be in the examples repository. I didn’t check

Re: Map Widget - how does it actually work?

Bill, thanks for all this. I will study it today (it’s breakfast time in France as I write this). I did some internet searching to look at the underlying Apple Map system - which is used for the LC version of the Map widget for iOS - and its API. It’s rich and complex, so the widget just

Re: Map Widget - how does it actually work?

Graham: Here is a link to an example that I, with lots of help from Hermann created. Maybe it will be useful. All done in livecode, so it should work. Haven’t tried it since 2017, tho. Bill https://www.dropbox.com/s/kg5l80bi82u1sap/google-maps-demo.livecode?dl=0

Re: Map Widget - how does it actually work?

Thanks Alex - that’s solid gold! I might even be able to use the widget, though perhaps not for what I intended which was to draw a route consisting of a series of standard Lat-Lon coordinates, in other words a very large number of linked polylines. This is a tentative conclusion, so probably

Re: Map Widget - how does it actually work?

Well, the big advantage of widgets is that you can look at the source code. As it says in the Livecode Lesson ( http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4071/l/1005132-how-do-i-modify-a-livecode-widget ), What do you do if a LiveCode widget is missing a property or message you need? The source code
