Google Maps script request - GoogleMaps client (browser/viewer) - Gamester17 - 2005-06-30 http://www.tomshardware.com/hardnews/20050629_164937.html http://www.betanews.com/article....0070538 http://www.google.com/apis/maps/ http://www.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html http://groups-beta.google.com/group/google-maps-api http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/ - [email protected] - 2005-06-30 probly not since it needs java script to run. - solexalex - 2005-07-01 maybe the java script can be open, understood and re-use to be caught by xbmc ?... this has to be follow... it could be very interesting ! - bakman - 2005-07-13 you dont have to use the api, google maps is using the ajax (asynchrous javascript + xml) technique, which has been disected, it works with urls which are being called and loaded in the background, using javascript. the problem is that the map consist out of 32 images, which you should "glue" together, unless you want to end up with blurry images. read some background info here Google Earth or Google Maps client (browser/viewer) - fcasarsa - 2006-09-08 I think that an integrated google map client to browse the map or to find something without starting the PC is a good idea. Is there something already developed? If someone needs a hand or could help me on how to start to develop this plugin I'm here. I'm a good Linux C programmer but I haven't any experience in Xbox DEv. Excuse me for the english. (another idea is a skype or voip client to use with the xbox live earphones). Bye. Francesco. - Solo0815 - 2006-09-09 This should be IMO a plugin to xbmc, but it would be nice to have such a browser/viewer. Dunno if this could be made with Python? Just look at the Python-forum - Gamester17 - 2006-09-09 Yes this would be better as a python script than as a native function in C/C++ http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=13195 http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=13543 http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=12418 Off-topic: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=4602 http://ww2d.org/home.php - fcasarsa - 2006-09-12 this does not need js to run and a browser. it acts as a standalone apps and I think that is better. maybe it is possible to embedd the java engine directly in the executable. I have posted a message on his forum. http://forum.ww2d.org/viewtopic.php?pid=105#p105 Ciao. - Gamester17 - 2006-09-21 These tutorial, tools and source code could possible help a python developer make a Google Maps script for XBMC: http://google-code-updates.blogspot.com/2006/08/google-maps-api-tutorial.html http://google-code-updates.blogspot.com/2006/07/maps-api-hotness.html http://google-code-updates.blogspot.com/2006/08/google-web-toolkit-update.html http://google-code-updates.blogspot.com/2006/08/coolapp-new-mycreativitymapsapi.html ...others have tried but seem to have given up: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=13543 http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=12418 http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=21969 Good luck to anyone willing to take on the challenge!
