I am looking for a reference on how custom map like gothere.sg is built. As far as I can figure out from understanding their architecture, they are using their own map server (their visual map looks so beautiful). On geocoding and much other functionalities, they're still reliant on Google Maps API. Please post what you understand from ...

I am writing an app that will use Reverse Geocoding to translate the user's current location into something like a Street Address or City. It seems the only way to get this kind of information is via MapKit (specifically the Placemark class). Can I use this without having to display a map to the user? The reason I am asking this is bec...
Using Google Maps, I am trying to have an info window open with tabs in it, each tab showing a different city for the selected country.

I've experimented with Simile's exhibit and see the usefulness of the graphical display via a prototype implementation on machines which have access to the internet. We have need to migrate the prototype from the open internet to a closed intranet, where only internal servers are available. The timeline seems feasible, but maps depende...
Hi! I was wondering if there's any way to check whether or not a polyline in Google Maps goes through a particular coordinate or a geographic location. I'd like to find out, for example, if a polyline goes through a particular road marked by latitude/longitude, or if it goes through New York. Thanks! ...

I'm working with the google maps API, and testing a section which geocodes all the addresses in a database which do not have coordinates, then generates a report of which were successful, and which failed. If any of the locations couldn't be found, it should put a form at the top of the page to allow the user to either modify the addres...
I've installed the Google Maps Java 2 ME app on my Nokia N73 which supports the Location API (JSR 179), but does not have an in-built GPS sensor.

I'm displaying a small Google map on a web page using the Google Maps Static API. I have a set of 15 co-ordinates, which I'd like to represent as points on the map. Due to the map being fairly small (184 x 90 pixels) and the upper limit of 2000 characters on a Google Maps URL, I can't represent every point on the map. So instead I'd l...

Overall, we're dealing with around a 1000 addresses and some have typos, abbreviations,... that are causing some problems with returning the proper address hit (lat/long). For addresses that don't return...
