Am currently asked to work on a project where I need to show the elevation of current place. By googling I came acrosee Google Maps JavaScript API V3 which have Elevation Service and have a sample code over here. But the code is in Javascript. So now am wondering how to move into java coding using this sample code. Have anyone worked with Google Maps JavaScript API V3 because am not sure how to integrate the javascript into an eclipse project.
EDIT 1:
Is it like I should change my IDE to PhoneGap..? I have heard that through PhoneGap you can code in HTML/Javascript and create project for Android and iOS.
I just checked with PhoneGap and couldn't find support for Elevation Service.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
You may directly use Google Elevation API in Java. Make a request, parse json and you are done.

I'm working with Azure Maps and have a very basic idea of it's WEB sdk. What I want to know is- is there a drawing feature in The Azure Maps SDK that a user may use to draw on the map and return a geoJSON based on it. This functionality is identical to the one provided on geojson.io.
Yes, there is! Please check out this code sample, and live demo here.
I'm developing an android app and I have a route path generated from Google Directions API like this example here
I want to check whether a location X falls on the route or not.
How i can possibly do this ?
NOTE: After searching on Stackoverflow i found this question and it's similar to what i want to do but it is in JavaScript and from the answers i found a method in Google maps JavaScript APIs here that do what i want but it's not available for the Android API Library ,How can i use it on Android ?
I found my answer here it an API for android from Google Maps utility API contain method containLocation()
com.google.maps.android.PolyUtil.containsLocation()
from Google Maps Android API utility library.
You can use isLocationOnPath() from android-maps-utils library.
Please can someone point me in the right direction.
I have spent a few days watching videos and reading up on google maps and am more confused now than when I started.
I run a worpress site and want to add a google map to show venues. I have done this by copying the the html from a previous google map that I created. I decided to start afresh and try to style the map that it looks more attractive and also see if I could create a database with my site locations that I could update.
In the process I came across a pluging that asked me for my API key. I struggled to find my API key and then started reading that google maps has done away with its previous version and is now using something called Google Maps JavaScript API v3.
Please can someone guide me how to go about using this and what its all about. I've read up on Google Maps JavaScript API v3 but am still confused. ?
If someone has some useful videos, like idiots guide to getting started....
The basic documentation can be found at google's developers site. If you are struggling with the basic maps functionality and skinning, you may find it helpful to use a wrapper that simplifies a lot of the process, like this gmaps project on github.
If you have a more specific problem, maybe you could edit your post and list exactly what hurdles you are facing.
If you are using Wordpress, why not try a plugin directly? It would probably take care of all the specifics, and leave you with just having to deal with managing the site. This one has rather good ratings:

Regarding your API key, it's something Google gives you when you register your site in order to use Maps. Try re registering.

I have a grails application where I want to take the address as the input and generate all the resources around a 5 mile radius.By resources I mean things of public interest like Gym, superMarket,Clinics or any restaurants.
Can anyone please tell me how to do this ?
Thanks
You can try google places API at https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/ .I used google maps API in my Grails project. We used plain google map api javascripts (did not find any good Grails plugin). I am not sure if there is a Grails plugin for google maps api..
Is it possible to add google maps on a site designed specifically for the iPhone? I have never integrated maps in my websites before, so this question really goes more because of my inexperience.
Using basic html and javascript at the moment.
The Google Maps API V3 is specifically designed to work efficiently on mobile devices. There are some great tutorials here and here.
Any link to a Google Maps URL will automatically open in the Maps application, which may be more useful than simply embedding a map view in the website itself.
For example, a link to http://maps.google.com/maps?q=cupertino will automatically open the Maps application and run a search for "cupertino".
I think, if you only need a google map with some simple function. The simplest way is use the MapKit.Framework, it's a part of iphone OS. You can find the document here.
If you need to load your own web site, you need to use UIWebView. you can find the document here(http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIWebView_Class/Reference/Reference.html).
I think these two ways can help you solve your problem.
And sorry about the link, because I'm not allowed to post more than one hyperlink.
