Is it possible to get cloudmade map tiles in English for area which are not in English by default?
For now it's not possible, but we will add multilangual support for CloudMade map styles in future.
Although you can customise some aspects of CloudMade's map tile rendering using their "style editor" tool, language options are not (yet) available
For efforts to achieve this within the wider OpenStreetMap community (rendering using the names data which is in the OpenStreetMap database for many place names) see the information on Map internationalization.
You can point to tile sources other than CloudMade's using the leaflet library, but note that serving map tiles is a little resource intensive so pointing your leaflet library at someone else's tile server for a high traffic website may not be welcome (terms of use & service guarantees vary)

There is an overlay feature available in the library. The overlay feature is nice but functionality wise it is just there to mask the UI.
Is there a way to customize the scannable area, I mean reduce the area that is scannable on the screen? When this can't be done there is no point in having the overlay right? The overlay does not really do anything.
This android app which uses the core Zxing library developed in java by the Zxing team https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.zxing.client.android you can see that - if the barcode/qr code lies outside the scanning area, it does not process it. That is what I am looking for. Is this possible?
According to this link github.com/Redth/ZXing.Net.Mobile/issues/87
the author of the library says
Unfortunately there's not a great short fix that I can think of for this scenario. Yes I could only check a certain region, but what would the region be set to? It makes sense to use the non-gray areas if you're using the default overlay, but if you use a custom overlay, you might not want the same region checked.
Just need some time to implement it (on ALL platforms - which is what takes so much effort).
It has been a more than a year since this issue was raised on github, so I don't think it will be implemented anytime soon.
I've imported a city feed for construction on a Google Map API v3. Unfortunately, the default color is a blue that doesn't convey the "caution" needed for construction. Is there an easy way to change the colour of the GeoRSS overlay? Thanks!
No, there isn't an easy way to change the color/styling of a GeoRSS overlay you are pulling in from another service. KML/GeoRSS features are rendered on the map to look like Polylines, Polgyons, and Markers, but they're not full-fledged objects in that sense. If you look at the KmlLayer documentation you'll see that your options are really limited to showing it on a map and making it clickable.
What you need to do is process the GeoRSS / KML somewhere else and add styling information to it that colors the line appropriately. I would probably implement this in a server-side language of your choice, but you could also try to use JavaScript to parse the GeoRSS and create first-class Polyline objects yourself which you'd have full control over.
Wondering if someone here can put me on the right path to finding research, algorithms or open source software for serving tiles that aren't geographic in nature. I suppose I'm also interested in client side software that exposes the titles to web users.
Everything I've found seems to be tightly coupled with mapping. However, it seems like there are other potential applications based on the same technology. For example, I have a huge photograph I want to break into tiles and allow for zooming and panning similar to Google Maps.
Why do you want something that isn't geographic in nature? A tiled view is a tiled view.
A colleague of mine programmed MagickTiler, which basically works with every image. You can view the files using OpenZoom or other tile viewers.
MagickTiler is a Java library and utility for converting image files into formats suitable for publishing them as high-resolution, zoomable Web images.
MagickTiler also includes options for batch processing and quality control, supports a wide range of image input formats and the following output formats:
TMS tileset
Zoomify tileset
Google Maps tileset
Pyramid TIFF (PTIF)
Try these softwares to make the tiles on server side:
GeoServer
MapServer
GeoMedia WebMap
Basically, these softwares get information from some database(including images) and build the tiles. To make the controls on client side like google maps you can use openlayers that is a javascript library.
I want to show flash google map as given on below link
http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/info-FDICBANKS111609_RETRO.html
Can anyone please help me from where can I start?
Is there any ready map available like that?
There's a sample Pan/Zoom Flex Application with source for moving around with a Map, which is pretty neat.
Then there's the Google Maps API for Flex, and they have a few examples and base projects you could use to get started.
TriceDesigns has a GoogleEarth Flex Example (with source).
And here's some other examples with source:
Basic Map: Source
China Relief: Source
Smart Info Window Demo: Source
Orthogonal 3D Map: Source
I would start with the Google Map API Flex Library, and one of those projects, and just go from there.
Hope that helps.
You could look at amMap for flash and flex maps and charts (there's a free and a pay version).
i need of simple UsA map in flex ,all Area need to be click able as button .
Is there any tool available for designing buttons in various shape in flex or any build in free map is available in flex.
As vector format so that zoom in will not affect the quality.
i need to design like as shown in this site
http://www.futurevision.com.ua/products/usa_flash_map.php
This is the Degrafa Map Demo. It is still in the samples section so perhaps the site was down at the time.
data viz sample page here:: http://www.degrafa.org/samples/data-visualization.html
Load the "Map Dashboard" sample and Right click/View source to get at the code.
Cheers
Jason.
I posted a similar question a while ago but needed more customization.
I used SVG path data in Degrafa to create custom maps of the world, continents, USA.. for a customer. Degrafa used to have a nice US map demo (with source code) as part of its samples, but it disappeared from the web. I don't know of any tool that would help to design clickable Flex shapes. I have no doubt though that Degrafa will provide more support and tools for converting and using SVG.
Some products I found: ilog, ArcGis
And also found this open-source library : GeoVis (birdeye)
But it's very unstable and haven't seen many changes recently.
I'll do that (or, I'll have a designer to do that) in illustrator, and then import the vector format in flex, with the [Embed] metadata.
I don't know if it is a downside for you (for me is a plus), but in this way you have to do everything in code, not with the FlexBuilder UI.
