More Google Maps application! write Your own
More sites using Google maps:
- Geolocate where the server is on Google Maps, for example: www.waltercedric.com server is in Paris 😉
- Find free WIFI hotspot
- Meet hot people, hmmm
And If You have a good idea and want to develp our own application using Google Maps, You may ask How it works…
Google maps is using #Javascript, XML, XSLT, and CSS to create a web application that behaves more like a desktop application. With normal web programming, the user is presented with a form, the user inputs its data, the user submits the form, and finally the entire web page reloads with new content. AJAX, as this type of programming has been coined, does not require the reloading of the entire interface. The #Javascript is able to make calls back to the server to get the required information and update only those parts of the interface that needs to change.
