Hello,<br><br>We can still have an application that simply reads GPS data from the<br>phone and hits the Google Maps website with it, right? The site<br>accepts long/lat. coordinates, and even has a satellite view mode<br>
(though the quality isn't as high as in Google Earth).<br><br>Dave</blockquote><div><br><br>Unfortunately it seems we cannot.<br>Google maps API's terms of service allow you to use it in a website and not in a <br>standalone non-Web application (FAQ clearly says that)
<br>And Google Earth requires the client to be installed on the machine that you use.<br>So both ways are not valid :(<br><br>The only doable thing I can think now is a client to compile information <br>for the openstreetsmap project :(
<br>This license is against all the applications that I wanted to implement<br><br>Bye and thanks,<br>Alessandro<br><br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

.<br>><br>> You may ask Sean about availability of maps for the Neo1973 (a quick<br>> search in the ML-archives gives no hits).<br>><br>> Hope that helps.<br>><br>> Marcus<br>><br>><br>> _______________________________________________
