Re: how to get map from Google map with GPS coordinates?

Anyone knows how to get the tiles of gmap outside of the web browser?
There are two mobile gmap applications at least for java cell phones, however neither of them is open source yet.
e.g., http://www.mgmaps.com/

So it would be good to discuss their solutions so that to display the map tiles without the binding with full javascript supported Web browsers


Any comments are welcome.

You create a map without any added controls. I assume you know how to
do this.

Then you center the map on the coordinates that you grab from a
querystring, e.g. map.htm?Lat=1.234556789&Lng=9.87654321.
Finally you disable dragging by using map.disableDragging();

This is a documeted feature of the API. But you will have to disect the
URL to translate the querystring into something that the API can
understand. There's an article here about doing it in javascript
(http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20020107.asp), otherwise if you
are using server side scripting you can do it server side.

As long as you don't add any listeners to the map it will not react to
any events.
