I am trying to develop a web based map application where the user can interact with the map. But I am new to this field and do not have much idea about how to approach this. Basically I want to use a static map created by me, so I think google map API s may not be used in this case. My development platform is unix. Can you please suggest what language I should use to write the server and also what kind of free tools can be used to implement the map part?
Thanx...
I suggest reading up on the Google Maps API 3. You can add overlays or even add your own tiles using the API. Specifically, I suggest looking into the GroundLayers section of the V3 API here GroundOverlays

I want to use HERE Maps in a WPF application. How can I implement it? Which API and which Control should I use?Please share some basic example.
Just came across this open topic. Did you have a look for the JavaScript API? You could embed this into your application.
Further information can be sound here:
https://developer.here.com/develop/javascript-api
Besides of that you can also use the HTTPRest interfaces for map display (common tiling schema), Routing, Geocoder etc.
I want to use Google Map in my Windows Store Application. I found this article. http://www.creepyed.com/2012/11/how-to-use-the-google-maps-api-on-windows-8. But it is in javascript, I am not a javascript expert. I want to implement it in C# + XAML. How can I do this?
Thanks.
I want to implement Google map API in my project.I have searched alot on internet but still i m not able to integrate it in my application. Any one help me how can i implement it in my application. Thanks in advance
CodePlex project : Use Google Maps API for .net
You can use some wrapper http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/csharp-google-static-map.aspx but I really think that it is better to do this in the Api native language (Javascript) and simply follow the documentation.
I am trying to use the facebook API provided by Nokia Developer:
http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Facebook_Connect
I need to know what library or files should i include to connect to this API. And if you can provide me with any important guidelines it would be great.
Thanks,
Did you actually read the page you linked to? The first line has a link to the download location and the entire page is full of examples of how to use the API.
However, if you did follow the download link you'd see this:
Facebook is deprecating the old REST api upon which this library is
based on. The new api is called facebook graph api and that should be
used, the rest api breaks all the time so its not a good idea to use
it. Please look at http://gitorious.org/qfacebook for a Qt
implementation of the new facebook graph API
Which makes your question somewhat irrelevant.
With Qt 5, you can now use the V-Play Facebook Qt Plugin.
It wraps the native Facebook SDK around a QML item and thus has the advantage that native login functionality and the whole Facebook Graph API is available cross-platform.
There is a free sample, documentation and tutorials available here: http://plugins.v-play.net/plugins/facebook/
Anyone know how I can integrate Flex and Mapserver in much the same way Flex and ArcServer talk?
Thanks!
Since Mapserver is WMS compliant, you should be able to use the ModestMaps or UMap libraries to display map tiles in Flex.
In JavaScript API 1.3 for ArcGIS Server there are new ways to create custom classes for map handling on your own (i.e. integrate with WMS or whatever map format you use). I suppose similar possibilities will appear in new Flex API for AGS, too – if they're not there yet.
Of course, it's option only if you want (and may, for licensing reasons) to use ArcGIS Server API.
Simple answer is yes. Each layer you put in a flex application from ArcGIS server is using Map Service url end point. There is always a wms url for the same service. What i suggest is that go replace the layer url with the WMS version from ArcGIS Server to test your FLEX application works on those layers then migrate services to MapServer.
