Q. I need to be able to measure how many miles it is from one place to another on Google Maps. But I don't know how. Could someone please help me? Thanks so much to everyone who answered.
A. Google maps labs (a little green chemical bottle in the top right) has an option to add a distance measurement tool. Apparently it is "not ready for prime time" but works well for me.
How do you get google maps on your site?
Q. I want to insert a google maps feature on my site. I want to view certain locations that are listed on my site via google maps on my website. How do I do this?
A. first you need to have api key
http://www.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html
use that adress to take it then. you can use simple exmples from their site.
http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/examples/index.html
you need to know longtitude and latitude data to point the location. here is example code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
<title>Google Maps JavaScript API Example: Simple Map</title>
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(37.4419, -122.1419), 13);
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="initialize()" onunload="GUnload()">
<div id="map_canvas" style="width: 500px; height: 300px"></div>
</body>
</html>
if you dont take api of your own your site could not show the maps.

How can i use google maps without using data from a data plan?
Q. Is there an offline version of google maps which I can download to my treo 650? Is there any other free map service i can use withouth a data plan?
I'm using an at&t. I'm going to India in some days and would need it to help me navigate. All i want is a simple map with road names. I don't require the satellite/traffic views

A. I don't think there's a offline version, you need to be able to connect. Regarding that, scroll down and read "Verizon's dirty little secret".

So depending on who your carrier is, your Treo might be locked into only being able to connect via a data plan. I have unlimited WAP browsing on my Samsung phone for $5 a month, so I use that instead of a data plan. I use google maps via a WAP browser (Opera Mini) or I use MobileGMaps. Mind you I did have to hack the permissions on the phone to keep it from asking if I wanted to allow the application to access the Internet, which was driving me crazy.
