Displaying data on maps can be useful in many situations.
By integrating tools like PHP, MySQL and Google Maps, you can relatively easy build customized maps for your website or blog.
In this post we’ll take a closer look on the possibilities, and build a interactive map based on PHP, MySql and Google Map API v3.
Google map API is a great tool for displaying maps on your wesbite or blog.
Displaying a single point on the map is pretty straightforward, but if you want to display many points, you need to start working with layers.
In this post you’ll learn to add many points to your map with a GeoRSS layer.
The development in the mapping world is very fast. Both Microsoft and Google has Street level imagery (Street View and Street Side) but navigating this content can be a little difficult.
However Microsoft has now invented a new navigation concept – Street Slide
One of the great features of Google Maps API, is the possibility to easily display Point Of Interest (POI’s) on top of the maps.
Included in Google Map API V2 is the GLayer function that makes it very easy to display data from Wikipedia and Panoramio as layers on your Google Map API based maps.
In this post we’ll create a script that uses the GLayer functionality to display POI’s on your map.
How about getting the possibility to style the map from the Google Map API in any way you like.
For basic usage, the standard colors from Google Maps are fine, but if you have a specific map where you want to highlight specific types of data – eg. highways, or just want to customize the look and feel of the map, you now have the chance with the new styling possibilities in V3 of the Google Maps API.
One of the fantastic things about Google Maps, is that it’ s quite easy to build interesting map mashups.
In this post, we’ll look into a small fraction of the strange, interesting or impressive Google Maps Mashups that can be found on the web.
Crowdsourcing and a flexible and very innovative API, makes CrowdMade a very interesting new player in the map game.
Google, MapQuest, Yahoo and Microsoft has been dominating the online map scene for many years. But now a new and different competitor is entering the map scene.
CloudMade has launched a very interesting online map service, based on the open source map data: OpenStreetMap. In this post we’ll look at the possibilities in the API, and the quality of the map data from OpenStreetMap.
