Hi,

Does U++ has any type of control object to display maps, or better to use a map provider and display maps on windows?

Suppose i want to make an application that shows a google map with some bookmarks, zoom etc. Does u++ has support for this?


Thanks
Alex

You are one lucky guy:) I needed just this a couple of days back, so there is now code in bazaar forum.

Thinking about it, I might make it an example.

Ok, it works fine Smile
It seems that basic functionality and implementation is in there. Now i have to implement zooming (dbclick) and drag features



By the way, it there any way to use freely google maps into a commercial application?

Or it is better to use a free map provider (not so complete as google is) instead?

Thanks

I think not, but you better check GoogleMap static map API.

Well there is OpenStreetMap, which is rather a database and specification that needs an external renderer.

Some available renderers are shown here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Beginners_Guide_1.5

(notice there's one in C++ (Mapnik) that uses AGG as back-end... seems we could do the same using U++ technology directly!)

Here is an example of Mapnik output: http://mapnik.org/maps/srtm_relief_natgrid/

My 2 cents,
Lionel

Yes there is.

Please check openstreemap!

What do you say?

Alex
PS: As the idea is to create i think it is right to use openstreemap.

Example uploaded.

There are some useful calculations in it, most important pixel<->longitude/latitude conversions and long/lat formatting/scanning.

Ops... external renderer needed Sad

Does anyone knows how much is the google fee?


Swinglab (JAVA things) has a swing control capable of display openstreetmaps...

I thought that openstreetmaps worked like google .

By the way, in this forum we can read:

http://www.mail-archive.com/google-maps-api@googlegroups.com /msg05299.html


"You could first create a map webpage and host it online.
It should be accessible from the internet so that it satisfies the API
Terms and Conditions of Use.

Then in your C++ application add a web browser control.
Customise the web browser control to make the GUI for your map page."

Well after digging a bit more, an online renderer is available (several in fact, but there's an official one) called Slippy Map: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Slippy_Map

And here's how to get static maps through HTTP GET requests: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Staticmaps

So the Google-like interface is available, though the URL syntax may differ, but it's not a big deal IMO.

Hello all

If someone needs advice on OpenStreetMap map editing (using available software) I have some experience.

Best regards

re free map provider

The NASA WorldWind project has a considerable amount of map images that are free and no copyright restrictions for Blue Marble, Sat7, USGS Topo and Digital, etc. These are used by Google Earth, MS Virtual Earth and many others.

http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/java/

I clipped, merged and tiled the FAA Sectional and TAC Charts and have served them and have them available for download from my website. They are free for non-commercial purposes.
http://www.nlneilson.com/sectionals.html

I use the NASA WWJ (Java) for my display and porting my apps that interact with that from Java to C++ using upp.

It is in "examples". Not sure what you mean? Where are you trying to see it?

I was trying to see it on the upp web page but not i see that it is also present on the NEW versions of Upp. I am using an old version.
Ok, it is solved now.

Thank you

Alex
