Folks:
Turns out there is a Google Static Map api. I’m trying to use it, but get no
response from my code that indicates an error.
The Static Maps API URL is:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/static-maps/?csw=1
<https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/static-maps/?csw=1>
From the dictionary, it looks like I can do this: (this is the example in the
google docs. It gives me a map when I put the URL into the browser).
on mouseUp
put mapURL() into tURL
put tURL
put URL tURL into x
put x into image “myGMap” —This, obviously won’t work. See below.
end mouseUp
function mapURL
put
"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=Berkeley,CA&zoom=14&size=400x400&key=AIzaSyCO423QzwaEEBmiw4XjPKzz4Tcg_5bjHv4";
into retURL
return retURL
end mapURL
I get text back that looks like that below. It is obviously in some format I
can decode in Livecode. I’ve just reached my comfort level with this. How
should I decode this. so I can set the imagedata to it?
Tnx,
Bill P
