Google Maps API Adventures

Form Upload Application

Since Google released their maps API last week I have been wracking my brain with ideas to implement. All I've come up with so far is this little application where you can upload a tab delimited text file onto Google maps. You can also clear the map at the push of a button. There are still some issues with Internet Explorer caching/temporary files so it's best viewed in FireFox.

Code: gmapFormUpload.html

The data is stored in MySQL which I talk to in Zope via ZMySQLdb. Once I had my table set up, I used Blue Dynamics Znolk SQL Wizard to generate all the ZSql Methods and handle the upload parsing of the text file.

Great idea ... but "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)"

Re: Google Maps API Adventures

Nice tool. The parser... is it Python? any plans to release the code?

Re: Google Maps API Adventures

Hello,

We're looking for someone to implement something very similar to this on this web site:

http://www.unc.edu/depts/outdoor/
(drill down to the directory)

We're also trying to figure out how to incorporate the backend (a one-table db done in Access) so that it updates on the map without much user intervention. I'm thinking we convert it to Zope db???

Would you be at all interested in a side project?

Thanks!
