  • Version 4.1 Works With WCF

    The latest update has a large code change to make it compatible with WCF services. The previous state serialization was changed to provide compatibility. The WCF compatibility has made it possible for DNNHost to provide webservice access to hosted geographic data. Read More...
  • Version 4 Released

    It took a bit longer than I would have wanted, but now version 4 is out. So why the new version number? When version 3 was launched there was a change to the object model so that it would closely mirror the underlying JavaScript API (Google's Maps API). Since the release of version 3.0 the control has undergone some tremendous changes as Google has continued to develop their service, new overlay types, new geocoding services, etc. So for that reason alone a new version seemed justified. But as with all version numbering, it's down to a subjective decision as to what constitutes a new version. The reason that this release is a new version is because of the ability to define maps using only markup. This is a major change in the way maps are set up on the page, so it felt right to call it a new version. Read More...
  • Focus on the User

    The new version includes several fixes to the geocoding deserialization. The geocode and reverse geocode methods now allow you to specify the language of the response by passing a CultureInfo parameter. Finally, the GoogleMap class can be centered on the user's location by setting the CenterOnUserLocation property to true. Read More...
  • Mobile Map With Route Display

    The mobile map application has been extended with a route display option. Once you have set your home position the mobile map will give you the option to generate route information. Simply press the button to see a route from your home position to the current map location. The route is saved for a week, during which you can access it through the displayed permalink. Read More...
  • Static Maps API Support included

    Version 3.5.4 has been released with support for static maps. The Static Maps API allows you to create a map as an image, which makes it an easy way to deploy simple maps that do not require user interaction, or maps on mobile devices, where JavaScript support is limited. Read More...
  • Finally a New Version

    A new version has finally been released. The new version has a new namespace to integrate with ASP.NET AJAX script services, the Reimers.Map.JsonMap namespace. This comes together with the rewrite of the JavaScript code to allow easier access to the objects. The new version also adds a new class to display traffic information, the GoogleTrafficOverlay class. Read More...
