FM12 Maps Solution?

[hutchlad]

Hi Guys,

Firstly I am using FM Pro 12, my company needs to utilise a map system, we work in the vehicle industry, and we would like a map system to show all available garages (which we will plot ourselves on the map) in a customers post code (UK) range.

I have tried using the web viewer and the built in UK Google Maps system, however I find it very limiting in what our staff can do. I have seen a host of different open source solutions, such as FMEasyMaps etc, but they all seem to be for FM 13, not FM 12 like we are using.

Any help / advice / suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

I think the FMEasyMaps is listed as for FM13 for the WebDirect side - a quick browse isn't seeing anything that is actually incompatible with FM12 itself (I may be wrong, but ...)

Thanks for the reply dude, but yeah I actually downloaded and tried to run it in my database and FM gives the error that it was built on a newer system & to upgrade to 13 in order to use.

Fair enough - testing, it does use a bunch of FM13 only stuff for the interface.... I've now got a version that will open in 12 so you can at least look at the scripting Tim uses...

I followed this and created a way to plot customers on a map in FM12
