Google Maps within a .NET application

Rob Ihasz

I am trying to return the directions list from Google maps. I am doing this already with static maps on another page, but for this, I just want to send my inputs and get the directions (no map) back. Has anyone had any experience with this? Thanks.

i am working on one of the largest Telecom in Israel, this is how we accessed our maps in the WAP portal. :-)

you dont have to use the js directly, create a handler that will handle the send to google and return the data in formated JSON or XML so you can work on it on your mobile client :-)

Thanks for the answer. I left a key element out, I'm doing this for a .NET mobile application, and I cannot use Javascript.

well my friend, i am attaching my javascript that connects to Google and obtain the directions. basically google has an object called GDirections this object gets the map and directions element, in order to run this just use the additional function called "setDirections" this will go to google get the map and directions.
