Visual Mashup Builder

Google Map Widget

The Google map component generates a map for your application. The map can be added to the page and interacted with.

Initialization

When the component is first added it points to the default location (Latitude: 37.4419, Longitude: -122.1419) and the default zoom level(13). A marker is automatically placed at the location and blank description of the marker is created.

Using the Component

Double clicking the map will take you to the properties page where static Latitude and Longitude can be changed.

The Google Map component also allows you to geocode American addresses. Providing the Address, City, State and Zip in the properties form allows the component to geocode the address and display it in the map. Description of the point can be provided int the Description attribute

How To Access Component in functions

You can change properties of the Gmaps Component in the following way:

 var map = getElementObjectByName('Map');
 map.street = add;
 map.city = city;
 map.state = state;
 map.zip = zip;
 map.latitude= lat;
 map.longitude= lon;

Limitations

Google Map Widget is currently able to mark only one location. Showing multiple locations involves changing the info within the Widget and reloading it.

Know Issues

Geocoding is in a demo stage hence the program can geocode most addresses but not all.
