GPS Maps

Hi Folks,

I was wondering if anyone could help me out here... I have written a c# mobile app that uses GPS and pulls down the Longditude and Lattitude values, I have concatonated this with a string an it produces a valid google maps link. However, the Symbol MC35s (and most mobile devices) are not compatible with googlemaps, I was wondering if anyone has a way of passing a LL value to a site that is mobile friendly, or some code to allow me to pass this to mobile google maps or live search or something like that?!

Cheers,

Mark

Its okay to post links to sites, but be specific about what article would best help, posting a link to a general list of articles is considered spam.

Mark, have you checked out http://www.google.com/m?site=local&s...mobileproducts If you try a few samples on this site I'm sure that you can parse a proper string to get this website complete with directions.

Hey cheers,

I have stopped development on this product anyway, it turned out creating a back end web admin and passing the LL values to plot on google maps was what they wanted anyway.

Thanks though,

I'll look into that for future projects

I'm trying to write a mapping function for genealogy. I want to read a gedcom database and plot an icon at a geographic location based on a user's query. Can you help me find: 1) A python interface to gedcom? (gedcom is a well documented linear file so I can probably do this myself if an interface is not available)

I have this kind of construct: http://www.geocities.com/stanio/temp/usemap01.html (an IMG element using MAP described with AREA elements) I'm trying to make it more accessible and currently I'm testing in Lynx. Lynx plays it clever and when I "enter" the map it shows only 3 links no matter there are 5 AREAs (3 point to a same reference). I don't like Lynx displays the 'alt' text and not the link titles

Now that I have a better grasp of the scope and capabilities of the C++ Standard Library, I understand that products such as Qt actually provide much of the same functionality through their own libraries. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. AFAIK, most of Qt is compatable with the Standard Library. That is, QLT can interoperate with STL, and you can convert back and forth between std::string and Qt::QString, etc. Are there any...

Hello, Does anybody know any good component/library to display maps from a local source using ASPNET. I'd like to have a "local" google-maps.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
