You need to supply the Maps API with a longitude and latitude to place a marker on a map (or even to center a map on a city). The geocoding web service translates a valid address into longitude and latitude; you can pass the result to the Maps API."fancy zooming

Google Account Authentication

Friday, July 14, 2006

Installed Applications: "The ClientLogin API lets you incorporate programmatic login into your desktop or mobile applications. This API incorporates CAPTCHA for greater security against password trollers."

Proxy for Web Applications: "The AuthSub API gives your web application the ability to access a user's Google services accounts without handling the user's login information. This API offers a secure mode, in which the web application can register with Google for greater security."

Mihai ParparitaMapsnotOverheard in NYMaps' APIReaderOverplotblog post

"The most basic issue with implementing this is geocoding all of the location strings (like "Canal & Broadway") to a latitude/longitude pair... It is not perfect, but since the set of addresses is pretty tightly constrained, I was able to add some rewriting rules to make the input more easily parsed. As of right now, 54% of the addresses are geocoded."

"I didn't want to directly scrape the HTML of the site to extract all of the quotes. I ended up using the data stored in Google Reader's archive of the site's feed. This allowed me to get at the quotes themselves more easily, without having to worry about the chrome of the site."

"Instead of each marker being its own overlay, I put all of them in the same overlay (see the QuotesOverlay class). Additionally, I did not split each marker into several layers (shadow, image, click area) - having the shadow be part of the image works well enough."
