I want to integrate Google Maps into my own Servoy solution. I’ve found this article but I can’t get the sample solution to work. When I open it I only get the list that shows in the screenshot below the map. And there’s no code at all in the whole solution.
I already created my own Google-Maps-Servoy solution using the browser-bean. The problem here is that I call a different url (with php parameters) each time the map must be updated. I would like the map to be more interactive because reloading the whole page doesn’t really correspond to the Google Maps philosophy.
These are my Servoy details:
Servoy Developer
Version 3.5.2_01-build 515
Java version 1.6.0-oem-b104 (Windows Vista)
Can anyone help me to get the sample solution to work? Or can anyone give me some clues to make the Google-Maps-Servoy integration more interactive?

Hi GoogleJaps,
You can one article “Integrate Google Maps into your Servoy solution” by Jan Aleman from here.
Again, like I said. I already have the browser bean. And it actually works very fine! What I want is to extend the solution I already have with more interaction between Servoy and the Map.

When you change parameters in the URL itself of course the whole page will reload. How would a regular browser do it any different ?
I think what you are looking for it to set the parameters dynamically in the page via (embedded) javascript and let the page do an XMLRequest call.
I am not that familiar with the inner workings of Google Maps to know if that is doable.
I downloaded the solution via the button at the end of the article (at the here link seems to be an old solution - non importable) but it’s not working, i. e. if I press the view map link (button) no map appears. I also do not have forms methods (which I at least expected for the onAction event at the view map link).
Can anyone point me to the working solution or send one to me?
Thanks and regards, Robert

…Can anyone point me to the working solution or send one to me?..
I had a similar experience and would like to have access to a working version of the sample solution. Also, has anyone successfully integrated their Servoy solution with Google gmail?
So we have to ask Jan if he could repost the example, as he is the creator of it. Jan, could you please repost the Google maps example, please?
Thanks and regards, Robert

Have you figured out anything with integrating google maps? I’m having the same problem at the moment…
Unfortunatly not, but I am still waiting for Jan to repost the corrected, i. e. working example, I hope he finds time for it. I assume it’s also dependend on how many people are interested, I give my vote again for reposting the example
I am some sort of lucky as I don’t need it urgently, but this can change any time.
Sorry not to have a better response, best regards, Robert

For an example to work, what else is it otherwise there ?-)
You seem to work magnitudes faster than I - thinking about employing you
Actually I am at the stage to (try to) discover various possibilities in how to solve best the requirements with displaying db information on a map (self created maps in various forms for the swiss railways).

What are you waiting for?
The browser suite as demonstrated on ServoyCamp does allow you to display interactive maps.
Google does have a clear description of the maps api.
Depending on what you want I’d say it’s 1-2 hours of work.

As I said: it depends on what you want.
There’s actually a working javascript example in the google maps API description. (http://code.google.com/intl/nl/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial.html)
I think this is an easy way to go.
As the actual method will depend strongly on the data you will extract from your database, I think you’re waiting for an example that will never come.
