knowram Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I am trying to do something like google maps where you can zoom in and out and move around. Anyone know what language they are using? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I'm not sure what google are using exactly but Ide probably take a look at flash for that sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zq29 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 We've developed a similar bit of functionality for one of our clients - We heavily modified the open source OpenLayers, wrote mainly in JavaScript. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skymanj Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Yeah, mostly javascript should work well for that kind of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knowram Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 Vary cool i didn't know about openlayers. thanks for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knowram Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 SemiApocalyptic that looks really cool. I am looking for something like that that i can add a layer over the map that has custom info on it. Like adding pins in different locations with roll over tag windows like in google maps. do you know if that is possible with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
