Google Maps API

P

Anybody have any experience with plotting map points with Google Maps
API from an Access DB to an ASP page?

I have tried some of the .asp groups with no luck. Somebody suggested
I search the access groups.

I have a database with about 90 locations that I would like positioned
in the Google Maps. I found a cool tool to get the long and latitudes
to complete the database, now just need to figure out how to get all
that data to appear on the maps.

All guidance appreicated.

I don't think the issue is either Access or ASP. <g>

I don't think you can work with actual API calls from ASP. However, assuming
Google is misusing the term API, what exactly is required for the ASP page
to pass to Google in order to get a map to appear? Do you have that
information available in your database?

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but here is a sample call I got
when I registered to get a key....

Here is an example web page to get you started on your way to mapping glory:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map" style="width: 500px; height: 400px"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[

var map = new GMap(document.getElementById("map"));
map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl());
map.centerAndZoom(new GPoint(-122.1419, 37.4419), 4);

//]]>
</script>
</body>
</html>=======================================================================================================You'd
need to change the static lat/long with values from your DB and I believe
you need to register to get your own API key. The link to the Google Maps
API info is http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/
