Fred - I'd agree with Scott and look at doing this with a supported API rather than screen scraping. Downaside is you need to understand the API - upside is there are lots of people who can help on various lists and the API's are relatively stable as the big boys try not to break them as developers depend on them. With Screen Scraping you are at the mercy of the graphic designer.
I have not done much with the Google Maps API and Rev - but a quick loo indicated it should be possible: - http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/reference.html#GDirections(getDuration()) - http://www.mercatorgeosystems.com/content/view/33/1/ (seem to have a free API) - http://www.tufat.com/docs/distance/ (an app done in php using Google API?) I have found the yahoo Maps API much easier for a Rev app to call - at least for geocoding (http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/rest/V1/geocode.html), but as of yet I have not figured out how to use Google Maps except to create web pages with javascript - this would mean creating a web page that produces a simple drive time table and fetching the url to this page in Rev. Hope this is useful and llet us know how you get on! _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
