Please WebView and Google map Location

[davidmd]

Hi
I know it been asked, in different way ..
I tried, Can not get it work..
Will appreciate any help and advice
Regards!
The Codes:

Sub GPS_LocationChanged (Location1 As Location)

lattt.Text = "Lat = " & Location1.ConvertToMinutes(Location1.Latitude)
lontt.Text = "Lon = " & Location1.ConvertToMinutes(Location1.Longitude)
userLocation = Location1
url ="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=userLocation.Latitude,userLocation.Longitude"
WebView1.LoadUrl(url)


End Sub

Looks like you need to properly concatenate your url string:

url = "http://maps.google.com/maps?ll="&userLocation.Latitude&","&userLocation.Longitude
Log(url)
WebView1.LoadUrl(url)

warwound: what would you add to the Url to show a marker at the same lat/long?

There used to be a page on the Mapki that listed many available URL parameters but it looks as though the Mapki is no longer online.

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=google+maps+url+parameters&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

Do you want a static map or a (draggable and pannable) interactive map?

I don't think there's much official documentation for URL parameters to the interactive map at maps.google.com but the static maps api is better documented: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/staticmaps/.

Hi,

To place a pin on a map:

url = "http://maps.google.com/maps?q=" & LocLatitude & "," & LocLongitude & "&ll=" & LocLatitude & "," & LocLongitude 
WebView1.LoadUrl(url)

The q parameter places the pin and the ll parameter centres the map at that location.

Faulty GPS library conversion.

Note that some conversion in GPS library is faulty. I had to write mine.
