I am confused as to whether I would be able to use this or not. I assume not because I have to 'install' a dll. http://www.googlemapscontrol.net
Hi, I'll give you a cookie if you use the Microsoft Live maps API instead. In my opinion it's much better for us and it is less buggy on IE8. I've been running some tests with it that have blown away my interest in the Google maps. http://maps.live.com/ Salute, Mark
It does look slick. A quick surf doesn't turn up much implementation stuff though, as opposed to Google. Am I to assume that I can use both GoogleMapsControl and LiveMaps in my pages? I need to 1. Copy the .dll into bin and 2. register it in my web.config and 3. it should work ? I am really not that lazy I am not at my dev machine right now. I am sitting here, building the data that I will add on the server side, assuming that I can do this sort of thing. Randy
Take a look at this, I'm having fun with it: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" > <head> <title>Microsoft Virtual Earth</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?v=6.1"></script> <script src="core.js" type="text/javascript"></script> </head> <form id="form1"> <div id="banner" style="background-color:#CCCCFF;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-style:italic;font-size:medium;width:680px;"></div> <div id='map' style="position:relative; width:680px; height:480px; top: 0px; left: 0px;"></div> <div style="height: 77px; width: 678px;"> <div> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Note: Drag the map around with your mouse. Drag end points around once they show.
