Re: [WISPA] importing addresses into google maps.
Hello. I messed with the google maps api last year when i toyed with this idea and the problem i ran into was the api wanted longitude and latitude imputed not street addressing. Has this changed or am i missing something?? Thanks, John Buwa -Original Message- From: David E.

The Google Maps API just runs on JavaScript, so you can take whatever server-side scripting language you prefer, and automate the process easily enough. Most of the good stuff is detailed here: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html Basically, create a page that does the Google Maps equivalent of hello world, then have your favorite server-side language output a bunch of JavaScript commands to create new points on the map, which your browser will then render through Google Maps' API.

Hello. I messed with the google maps api last year when i toyed with this idea and the problem i ran into was the api wanted longitude and latitude imputed not street addressing. Has this changed or am i missing something?? The page to which I originally referred you: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html is the page that describes their geocoding API (i.e. the process of converting street addresses to GPS coordinates). The source code of http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/examples/geocoding-simple.html is basically the hello world of Google Maps geocoding; that should be plenty to get you started.
