• 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...

• Where Am I And How Do I Get There

  The latest release focuses on the developments in Google's geocoding services. The control now includes support for both reverse geocoding and directions. Directions are exposed through the new GoogleDirections class that supersedes the previous construct and gives you full control over how you present your route information. Finally JSON serialization is supported directly for the classes, so you won't need proxy classes when serializing in your script services. Read More...

• It's Open

  This is a big release with some very exciting changes. The control is moving towards ASP.NET AJAX and .NET 3.5. The Google Earth API is also in the new version and the Google Earth API will be on the top of priorities for new versions. The GoogleStaticMap API has been used to develop a server side map application with a minimal footprint in terms of user download. On top of all that there are a lot of small user requests that have been implemented, different API versions, AJAX loading of the scripts and so on. But the most exciting this is that the code is now open. That's right, download the code by SVN, and feel free to contribute. Happy Google Developers Day. 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.

• 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...

• Version 3.5 Released

  I saw that it was a month since the last time I uploaded a new version of the Google Maps .NET Control. The new version has actually been ready for a week, but I wanted it to coincide with version 2.78 of Google's API. The new version allows zooming by using the mouse wheel and supports dynamic icons. It also has a number of bug fixes to the JavaScript generated to reduce memory leaks. Read More... Posted 2. maj 2007 21:50 by jjrdk | 5 Comments Filed under: Google Maps, Updates

• Latest Versions Supports GGeoXml Overlays

  Google has now released version 2.76 of the Map API. The biggest news in the latest version is the GGeoXml overlay type, which I write about in another post. The newest versions of the map control support GGeoXml overlays. The free version has a new property called GeoXml which takes a single absolute link as a string to a KML or GeoRss file which will be rendered on the map. The licensed version has a new overlay class - GoogleGeoXml - which means that it supports multiple GGeoXml overlays. Read More...

• New Web Controls

  I recently published some new web controls. At the same time I took down the old extended web controls since I found an easier way to get the same functionality through the standard ASP.NET controls. I will get into that later. The new web control collection contains only two controls and a helper class for the time being. Read More... Posted 3. april 2007 04:11 by jjrdk | 0 Comments Filed under: AJAX, dotNet, Updates

• Google Adds GGeoXml Overlay

  In version 2.76 of Google's Map API the GGeoXml overlay type is added. This overlay type takes a link to a KML, KMZ or GeoRSS file and displays the contents as overlays on the map, pretty much like Google Earth does. You can read about the new overlay type in the official Map API blog. The cool thing about this overlay type is that you are not limited to displaying your own KML files but. You are free to display contents from any publicly available link. Read More... Posted 22. marts 2007 11:10 by jjrdk | 1 Comments Filed under: Google Maps, Updates

• Version 3.4.2 Released

  Version 3.4.2 brings the Google Maps .NET Control up to date with version 2.72 of Google's Map API. This adds a right click event to the GoogleMap class, but otherwise there are only minor internal changes. To build further on the conversion and exchangeability from other formats the assembly now includes a UtmPosition class which is fully interchangeable with the GoogleLatLng class. Furthermore a new assembly is available to licensed users, a Shapefile to KML conversion assembly to handle shapefile reading/conversion programatically. Read More...

• ESRI Shapefile to KML Converter

  A Shapefile to Kml utility has been added to the files section. The utility parses a shapefile and creates the equivalent Google Maps objects. At the same time it reads the corresponding .dbf file and displays the possible columns to add to the individual shapes. Read More...
