[DUG] Access to street maps

[Jeremy Coulter]

The other thing to note too if you want to use Google Maps to display
locations you need to signup and get a key that you need to pass through
each time you make a call which is fine if you will only be calling it from
the same location as it is tied to a Domain name.

We do exactly what you are doing to show surgery locations and various other
things at work. Took a bit of time to figure it out, but it works well.

 

Also something interesting I noticed the other day. My wife was using Wises
online the other day, I noticed they use Google now too...any why not ;-)

Hi Mark,

 

You will need to change the address to the XY coordinates in order to
display the map. Yes, all is possible using JavaScript and the Google Maps
API.

I have a D2009 application which holds the addresses of employees and the
customers they service.

 

Is there a way that I can display a map with a selected address?

 

Ideally, I would also like to be able to get the distance between two
addresses.

 

I assume that this information is available from Google or Wises, but have
no idea how to go about accessing it. I'm guessing it will be a Web Service,
with which I have limited experience (I have an interface to one).

 

Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.
