| You must have read my mind! I was thinking exactly the same. This would be a very useful feature. |

There isn't a way at the moment through the [MAP] token.
Some people have manually included scripts in their templates using [LONGITUDE], [LATITUDE], etc. |

My partner is writing a Google Apps to publish KML to Google Earth and Google Map.
It also served as a Google Webmaster Sitemap where all the data is retrieve from the PA module.
Thus, in the PA, all we need is to put in a link embed from Google Map, automated too :)
The bad news is, we are still working on many issue and perfecting the apps to reduce the load from database. Will share it once it is done. |

If you want the map clickable, put a hyperlink around your [MAP] token.
Here is what I used and it works mint.
If anyone is interested, I made an interective map using a Map module called Netsim Map Extreme that I got from Snowcovered. It uses Microsoft map instead of Google which I think is nice and it does not need an API key.
Have a look at http://www.rideauslips.com and you will see what I did and you will also see the google map on the view property template. |

Hi im using this code to get the map interactive and it almost works.
The link on the MAP is for example http://maps.google.se/maps?f=q&hl=sv&geocode=&q=57,74334,16,66059&ie= .
The problem is that the Longitude and the Latitude link uses , (comma) instead of a . (dot). in the first path of the adress.
Im using the swedish maps.google.se and i have also tried the .com adress and get the same problem.
In the Property agent form the Latitude and the Longitude coordinates are with . and not the , . But when i look at the form it gets wrong. Can anybody help me please? |

| I found that if i use US/EN as language instead of swedish it works. Then the . steal is a . (dot) and not a , . But how can i get it to work with swedish language. |

| Stefan - you are correct, it uses the locale to format the number. I could add an additional token that you could use which would show in the lat/long in decimal format. |

It would be best if there's default [LAT] [LONG] token. In this case, we can do something like "view larger map" map as provided from google map embed code.

Hi Guys
As an exercise I've modified the source code of Property Agent (specifically ViewType.ascx & ViewType.ascx.vb) to replace the property listing with a Google map with clickable markers for each property found. You can see this on a test site I am putting together at http://crown.epsys-consultants.co.uk. Just click on the property search button and you will see the map.
Any feedback on it would be great.
Scott, the actual code changes were not that involved and it may be something that you may like to incorporate into the core module. If you are interested I would be happy to send you what I have done so you can check it out.
If anyone else is interested let me know.
Regards
Paul |
