I am trying to get into the google maps api v3 to display store locations.
All non-flash tutorials for google maps, which I have seen so far, create an array with the latitude and longitude in either java script part of the html or in a seperate js file.
However, then I list all coordinates in plain text in the requested html site.
Is there a way to hide the exact location in a seperate file or layer, which is not accessible to the user? I would like to display the locations with a broad view and would like to keep the exact locations hidden.
Thank you for any suggestions.
I do not know if it is possible to do, but you can try create external PHP script that will returns JSON output with all Google Maps data.
In the beggining of the script you can check referer and it is correct (equals to the site script) show that data - otherwise, print some error, etc.
In JavaScript load whole data with Ajax.
However there is no way to permanently hide data from user - it is always possible to write some script that will export them from Google Map (for example using FireBug/Chrome console).

I'm trying to get a single .ics file containing all calendar entries for a particular user of OpenSRS, which I believe has something to do with Sabre. I've tried using code that I have used successfully on other CalDAV servers, but it doesn't seem to work the same. Alternatively, I could make multiple http calls to get individual .ics files, if there is way to do that.
Using what I believe is the correct server (example: mail.servername.ca/caldav/username#domain.ca)
I make a http post using the custom request of "PROPFIND". I get back http 207, and the return data is a bunch of xml. Some of this is an href to a web page that if I retrieve, is an html file that displays links to the .ics files of each event (under the heading "Nodes"). So, I suppose I could scrape this html to get a list of links, then download them one by one. But I'm not entirely sure what would happen if I have hundreds or thousands of events - would I get them all on a single html file? And that would be very slow of course.
I've also tried the "REPORT" command which is how I get .ics data from other CalDAV servers, but that does not return useful data. I was hoping someone could point me at a better method of doing this.
Hi all I am trying to work with integrate after getting data from a JSON webhook, it is coming in like below and the {"0":{ are creat issues are is it making them into blocks and I cat run them into google sheets right, can someone please help me out
You can put this output into JSON parser module in INtegromat. That is the next step (the pink module). For there you will generate JSON structure and able to access elements one by one.
Also Iterator module can be used, but not necessarily. Depending on what is required next. Contact me if you need help.
here goes a simple question:
I've got a showKmz() function which receives an URL belonging to a KML/KMZ file and which goes straight ward to a fetchkml() method, after that it gets appended to my Google Earth instance.
Now I want to recover the coordinates of this fetched KML/KMZ file and use them to immediatelly after load a custom ico I want to put exactly on the same location of the KML/KMZ file I fetched.
The reason for that is that I want to show this files on Google Earth with their clicable icon despite of whatever icon those KML/KMZ could have by default...
Does anybody knows a way to either achieve the goal of retrieving the coordinates or even better: a more direct way to make this custom icon superposing I want?
Thanks in advance!!
Bye!!
From here
http://code.google.com/apis/earth/documentation/kml.html
When getting a KML/Z file with fetchKml, you have in the callback an option to interact with the KMLFeatures you've obtained before appending them to the globe. There could be several items in that file which have coordinates, as well as several icons. So it sounds like you want to get the features, iterate over them, and insert an IconStyle for each (or replace existing IconStyle) to have it render with the Icon you want. You don't have to place a new feature at the same location as the existing ones.
I am looking to map about 800 markers on a Google map. I have a csv file with addresses, including latitude and longitude coordinates. I would like to be able to somehow upload this file to Google Maps resulting in a map displaying all of my markers. This process will be automated, where a windows service (or via Sql Server Integration Services) will upload the address data to some url, effectively updating the markers on a map, which is embeded on an Asp.Net page on my site.
Does anyone know of a simple way this can be accomplished? Are there any tools out there that can already do this? I've looked at batchgeo.com and there file upload feature, but I don't think their tool can be automated.
Why not just to use google maps api v3 to display the markers? With 800 markers you probably would like to use marker clustering e.g. using markerclusterer
800 markers is a lot for one map, especially without marker clustering. Do you think maybe something like Google Fusion Tables would work? It's pretty easy, doesn't require much in terms of coding, and I'm fairly certain you can update records via URLs. You can upload your initial CSV file to it, too, and then display the points on a Google Map.
I originally asked this question on Super User but was told that it might be better placed here...
I have a running blog and to help me track and write about my runs I've recently bought a Garmin GPS watch. The setup works a treat and I'm able to share links to my runs in my blog such as:
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/23842182
Is there an easy way for me to capture the map itself out of the Garmin Connect site (see the link) and display it in my blog posting? I can take a screenshot but an interactive map would be heaps better. It's obviously a Google Map with the run info overlayed so there must be a way... right?
To created an embedded interactive Google Map to render your run polylines, you will need to extract the data that the Garmin site is using to render the line.
From the Garmin site, there are two Javascript files that do the work:
http://connect.garmin.com/resource/garmin-js-lib/map/MapsUtil.js - Bunch of utility functions for rendering Google maps based on data in the Garmin system
http://connect.garmin.com/api/activity/component/mapLoader.js - Uses Garmin.service.ActivityClient to grab the JSON data describing the polyline. It feeds this data into Garmin.map.MapsUtil.addEncodedPolylineToMap to render the map.
So do do this on your blog, you will need to either request the JSON data from the Garmin site (and trust that the URI format doesn't change) or grab the data and store it on your own site. The URI format is currently:
http://connect.garmin.com/proxy/activity-service-1.0/gpolyline/activity/<activity id>?full=true
Where activity ID is the last number in your original URL. So:
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/23842182
http://connect.garmin.com/proxy/activity-service-1.0/gpolyline/activity/23842182?full=true
This data request will return some JSON that you can then use to render a Google Map.
Once you have decided how you want to store the JSON data, you will need to write some Javascript to request the JSON and, in the callback, feed it into the GPolyline.fromEncoded method. Once you have a GPolyline object (that is populated from the encoded JSON data), you can add it to a Google Maps GMap2 with the addOverlay method.
I realize that this answer is fairly technically involved and might be overwhelming if you haven't played with Google Maps before. If this is the case, I suggest heading over to the Google Maps API intro page for some hints on getting started.
Since this question was first posted, Garmin Connect has since added a quick code snippet to embed in your WordPress site to display your maps and course data.
