Yes, you’ve done it all.
Cool. It's working as expected then.
It was intended just to demo the display of a Google Static Map and
show how to get the corners of the image so the lat/lon of the mouse
position could be calculated. To do that, I had to rely oh Hermann’s
expertise with Javascript to convert a posted solution to LCS. I spent
time carefully checking that the corners calculation agreed with the box
plotted by the maps api. The map image is also slightly stretched
horizontally (to fit my own project map size) and I had to do some
tweaking to the corners code to make that work.
The links to the Google API get the programmer to the web site that tells how
to display streets, display a map of a particular city or other feature, add
symbols, etc. For those who need to do that, this should help. It’s pretty
trivial to change the URL params, so I felt I could leave that to the user.
Actually, the entire thing is pretty trivial, but it did take me quite a bit of
time, thrashing through the details because I’d never worked with the Google
maps api, so perhaps others might find it useful.
My project will continue and plot data on a captured image, scroll the map,
etc. I hadn’t planned on including that part in the demo, but could, if
requested.
The demo doesn't seem to be trivial at all, especially looking at the
libraries involved - you've put a lot of work into that.
