Graham, My demo stack was enhanced a lot by Hermann but I don’t know where it is, after a cursory search. He added a bunch of other capabilities, but I felt a quick look at the Google map docs would make it easy to add them. His expanded version may be in the examples repository. I didn’t check

Bill, thanks for all this. I will study it today (it’s breakfast time in France as I write this). I did some internet searching to look at the underlying Apple Map system - which is used for the LC version of the Map widget for iOS - and its API. It’s rich and complex, so the widget just scratc

Re: Map Widget - how does it actually work?

Thanks Alex - that’s solid gold! I might even be able to use the widget, though perhaps not for what I intended which was to draw a route consisting of a series of standard Lat-Lon coordinates, in other words a very large number of linked polylines. This is a tentative conclusion, so probably wr

Re: Map Widget - how does it actually work?

Well, the big advantage of widgets is that you can look at the source code. As it says in the Livecode Lesson ( http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4071/l/1005132-how-do-i-modify-a-livecode-widget ), What do you do if a LiveCode widget is missing a property or message you need? The source code fo

It is a native layer so it the only LC object that would work would be another browser widget.  There was a demo a while back of doing that. http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?p=172729#p172729 Thanks, Brian On Dec 18, 2018, 3:52 PM -0600, Scott Rossi via use-livecode , wrote: > Hi All: >

Thanks Ali I'm clearly "out of my depth" here… after looking at the Google Maps model. looking at: com.google.android.gms.maps.model I think see why you are talking about overlays, as these comprise "model classes" GroundOverlay A ground overlay is an image that is fixed to a map. Gro

Re: Map Widget Futures

I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'a member of the msg path in "proper standing"' - the map widget just wraps a native view essentially. The map 'object' is only accessible through foreign handlers in LCB, but if it can be done natively then it can be done. In the first instance the widget will

Bill, Have you checked the mergMK extension referred to in the post? To my knowledge the widget referred ton in the post has not yet been created. To take another tack—have you looked at the Google Static Map API? If you’re comfortable using RESTful API’s in LiveCode you can get a pretty servic

Re: Map Widget"

I use maps in the browser widget extensively for Augmented Earth. It works great. You could hypothetically export the image data from the HTML canvas object, export the lat/lng boundaries, and present all of that through a LiveCode image object. Be prepared to do a bit of math, but I think it w
