Which Maps/service to use?

[Jalz]

Hi all,

Im trying to plot multiple members in my database on a map (presumably flash or javascript). Does anyone know, recommend maps I can use in my web viewer to display pins of where my members are. I currently store postal codes and would like to use this to pinpoint where they are.

Cheers

Hi,

You can specify the web address of a web user as

"http://local.google.com/maps?" & "q=(404) 250-4570 | (404) 894-4560 | (404) 894-2000"

You will need to concatenate all the zip / postal codes together with the pipe operator.

Eventually you can provide these values from database fields as well.

Do you want to see a large number of pins on a map, or just one for the current record?

If the former, do you have your addresses geocoded?

If so I prefer to map in Google Earth by exporting the geocodes in a kml file using an xml template.

On a Mac you can then send an Apple Event to open the exported file with Google Earth and automatically plot the data.

hth,
