[Released] Google Maps

[Stephen]

This is an extension that lets you use Google Maps in your projects. It is quite a large API, and not everything is implemented yet, but the majority is.

Features:

• 4 Different Map Types (Normal, Satellite, Hybrid, Terrain)
• Polylines (Used for Directions)
• Markers
• Info Windows
• Auto Pan to Locations
• Add/Remove Google Controls (Zoom, MiniMap, etc)
• Layer Support

I have included an example showing where Jeff lives, showing how to use Auto Pan, Markers, and setting up a few custom properties. You can view the online example here.

LOL. Jeff lives in a river!

Wow this is pretty amazing. To me, it seems the MMF version loads images faster than the actual google maps page. I could be wrong though. Its very fast!

The only glitch I see is that the cursor doesn't change into a 'Hand' when dragging the map. But I wonder if thats just a limitation of Flash instead.

Could you be more specific or upload an mfa?

Hello StephenL,

a pretty useful extension, thanks! The swf example looks fine. When I try to open the GoogleMaps.mfa in MMF2 Dev, it says "Cannot load extension GoogleMaps.mfx". Where can I get this one?
