Here Weather API alternative black & white icon set - here-api

Currently i'm using here maps API for development purpose only. Now i want to know, if there are alternative weather icons (perhaps without color / black & White ones) available? I could easily make my own ones, but if there are already available, i would just use them.
Best Regards

Here doesn't provide any weather icons in the normal SDK. You can use the icons you get in the response of Destination Weather API.
https://weather.api.here.com/weather/1.0/report.json
?app_id={YOUR_APP_ID}
&app_code={YOUR_APP_CODE}
&product=observation
&name=Berlin-Tegel
The response of this would give you iconLink attribute which gives the image location. Read more about this in https://developer.here.com/documentation/weather/topics/example-weather-observation.html
Else you can try Mobile UI SDK. Read more about it in developer site - https://developer.here.com/blog/mobile-ui-sdk-2.0-is-here-with-navigation
Hope this helps!

How does Google Keep fetch link preview?

My websites (which are just recovered from an attack) are fetched like this in Google Keep. However testing with Facebook Open Graph Debugger they appear normal. So is there a way to know what mechanism GK uses to fetch link preview?

Idenfity what device the below error happened with the icons displayed on input fields

I received the request from client service requesting to investigate about the issue from a screenshot sent by a customer. However I met difficulties in identifying what device / platform / browser the customer has used to reproduce it; and hardly can get it from the requester:
From the screenshot, I can pretty sure that this was captured after a registration failure (due to javascript error/disabled). So the cursor moved to the First Name field - the reason why the icon showed. And the icons were not of the web site, so I guess they were from the native-ness of the device/browser. Not sure if it is filled by browser's add-on.
Have you ever met such icons? Could you help me identify the device / platform / browser they might use ? Any light is appreciated :)
Thanks
I recognize this as the LastPass extension, a password manager. In particular, the icon on the First Name field can be clicked to automatically fill in the whole form, and the icons on the password fields will automatically generate a random password using the extension.
It looks like the LastPass extension is available for various browsers, and the form icons appear to be the same for all of them, so that doesn't really offer much insight for what device and browser they're using. I am positive that it's not something built into the browser.

adding google map in asp.net application

Easy way here does all the work for you.
Embedding a map into a website or blog
You can embed a simple map, a set of
driving directions, a local search, or
maps created by other users. Here's
how:
Ensure that the map you'd like to embed appears in the current map
display.
Click Link to this page in the top-right corner of the map.
In the box that pops up, copy the HTML under 'Paste HTML to embed in
website,' and paste it into the source
code of your website or blog.
If you'd like to adjust the size of the map before you embed it, just click
Customize and preview embedded map, select your preferred size, and take a
look at the preview map. Once you're happy with what you see, copy the HTML
that appears in the box at the bottom of the window.
Keep in mind that you won't be able to embed Traffic maps, Mapplets, and some
other Maps features.
Google Map API is just javascript. Which can be used in any web technology
follow this link you will get what you are looking for
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/
If your beginning, maybe you should try to learn web development first. Javascript, post/get mechanics, HTML/CSS validation. Tackling Google Maps integration right at the beginning of your learning process might slow down your project evolution. It's my opinion.

Clickable world map that returns the relivant 3166-1-alpha-2 country code

I want to make a click-able world map which when a user clicks on a country it directs the user to a url containing the corresponding country code.
e.g you click on the UK and it directs you to .../country.php?c=GB
What would be the best way to go about it? html imagemaps? javascript? flash? Are there scripts already out there? Is there a way to use google maps?
http://davidlynch.org/js/maphilight/docs/demo_world.html#
You can construct such a clickable graphic using SVG.
It's very easy to implement what you want with jVectorMap mapping library. To define an action on country click use a onRegionClick parameter. The country code according to the ISO format is available as a second parameter in the callback.
I would, if I may, suggest to check out Highmaps, from the people behind Highcharts (myself included). It's free for non-commercial use, works great with mobile browsers (full touch support) and old IE down to IE6. It supports advanced dynamic features like drilldown and rich tooltips, and is very customizable.
We supply a map collection with over 350 maps, including several world map versions with ISO-3166-1-alpha-2 metadata embedded.

Capture screenshot of website on the client (Javascript or flash)

Is there some method to issue a screen capture(browser window content only) from the browser with javascript or a embedded flash object etc so that a full quality image of the page content be saved or printed or an alternative approach.
I have a web app (asp.net 3.5) with google maps and other ajax operations client side like a custom tile server. I have been trying to implement a way for the user to print good quality captures of the webpage.
I have used the basic Window.Print() but in both IE and FF there many artifacts within the google maps and some items such as the popped up bubble doesnt print. I have experimented with save pdf thru cutepdf(just to post an example here) and the quality thru window.print() is low too.
For example, A screenshot with FireShot addon is perfect and what I want the client to have. however that is FF only and I cant ask the clients to install addons/activex controls on their browsers.
Have a look at this download example zip file(4mb) with:
Example screen shot using FireShot
(example of what I want to achieve
thru a html/JS button with in the
page)
Firefox Window.Print() result
(cutepdf used to save as pdf)
IE Window.Print() result (cutepdf
used to save as pdf)
note in 2,3 the little bubble is not printed even when open.
For now, I have added the function on my site to go fullscreen and guide the user to take a screenshot or call the window.print() function.
I am still looking for a method to print/capture my page.
are there any flash/activex controls that I can include in my page and thru them provide a quality print mechanism?
Thanks again for all the help but I still need more. :)
Thank you in advance.

You'll go to all that work only to find that a simple app like Snagit will do the job. Building a SnagIt Screen Capture Plugin
The only way to reliably provide a high-quality print version of whats on-screen in a rich web application is to use the client-side, say JavaScript, to send the server precise information about the current state (where bubbles are, etc.) and use that to generate an image that mimics the positioning. Convert that image to a PDF or what-have-you, then send to the client for download.
Google also has a Static Maps API that might give you good results. I looked into it myself once, and only didn't go with it since (at the time) there were limitations on how many points they could support in a polyline.
I don't think this is possible. It would be quite a security risk to be able to capture the user's screen through scripting (imagine bad sites capturing screen information).
No there is not, though it would come in quite handy at times for bug reporting etcetera.
You will probably get the best result by creating a separate version of the page as a PDF have that being generated. It's no quick fix by all means, but you'll get superb print quality and total control over everything. The map part will probably be a bit tricky though as you need to get the map as a bitmap on the server somehow, and if it's not in flash on the client I don't know how you'd do that.
