EDIT:
How is it possible to get a DirectionsResult json object from Google maps Web Service APIv3 without breaking the "laws" of xss?
if so, how is it possible to parse that result and show it on a map (in the js API I use DirectionsRenderer) ?
I can do the above with the js API, but am failing miserably with the Web Service. also, use of JQuery / JQM is available.
Any ideas?
Sounds like you don't actually want to execute Javascript, you just want to parse JSON. There are many libraries available to do this.
I recommend you to use Javascript OpenLayers Library displaying map data including Google Maps in most modern web browsers, with no server-side dependencies and Vaadin's OpenLayers Wrapper which contains server side wrapper component for OpenLayers Maps.
Check out some of the applications that were built using these tools:

I'm working in a project where I have to collect data from a GPS Module (NMEA data) and pass it to an html application so I can display exact location of the device on a Google map. I have created the map using the google maps api but I'm unsure of how to pass the NMEA data through my application. What would be the most efficient way to do this? Thank you.
If you use Google's My Maps (this is a very easy method to get your own map in your own HTML page) you can import GPX data straight into the map. You just need to convert your NMEA data to GPX.
If you're comfortable with the command line GPSBabel looks relatively simple to use (there are a couple of GUIs available if needed). Alternatively, OpenStreetMap has some other alternative methods that you can try.
I'm trying to make an NodeJs App in which, on web page I'm using Maps, For some reasons I've chosen Google Maps and I want to stick to it. My question is, Is there anyway where I can either store or cache map tiles offline and later on use it as needed [Note: Not looking for any hack or Illegal way for it, I already know there are many such ways].
I tried and saw many options like GEE (Google Earth Enterprise) portable but I guess they are shutting it down very soon i.e by 2017.
Basically what I'm trying here is to minimize the data usage on rendering map tiles, so alternatively, if there ain't a way to make google map work offline any suggestion or advice for minimizing data usage is appreciated.
The offline access via Maps JavaScript API is not available at the moment. There is a feature request in the public issue tracker:

1.Use Localstorage instead it might help but will be used in google chrome.
2.Check this url it might help How to cache Google map tiles for offline usage?
I'm working on a project that involves exporting some HTML reports on a website into PDF format. I'd like to use the excellent flying-saucer Java library to do this but my major stumbling block is that several of these reports use the Google Visualization API to generate charts with JavaScript. Flying-saucer doesn't currently support parsing/executing JS, so those charts don't show up in the generated PDF file.
I was hoping to work around this by seeing if there was some kind of web service I could call instead via server-side code that would return the chart image in Base64 as a variable that I could reference in my view instead of getting it via JS.
The old Google Image Charts API is exactly what I'm looking for, but it has unfortunately been deprecated and it looks like it's slated to be removed completely by next year, so it's not an option.
I'm hoping Google has a newer alternative. If not, is there some other method that's recommended? Thanks!
You can call the getImageURI method of the chart to generate an image/octet stream URI. You can send that data to your server, and you should be able to reconstruct the chart as a .png image file. I've never tried to do this server-side, so I'm not sure precisely how you would go about it, but this java tutorial might be of some assistance to you: http://www.programcreek.com/2009/02/java-convert-image-to-byte-array-convert-byte-array-to-image/
Years ago I wrote Eastwood Charts which implemented the Google Image Charts API as a servlet, backed by JFreeChart, so that you could generate charts without having to rely upon Google, or send your data to their servers. :-)
I don't maintain Eastwood Charts anymore (like Google, I can't be relied upon either) but it is open source and the code works so you might find it helpful. You could also modify it to meet your own requirements, which is something that wasn't possible with the Google service.
I know there´s an api for flash but it has been deprecated, how can i display google maps inside flash using javascript api v3
you can look to use an iFrame and run your map in there.
You can use another Map API like MapQuets or Umap. Those api's have
syntax similar to google API - it will be easy to migrate. Also I think there are no any tools to use "javascript api v3" in Flash, even with IFrame, but you can create some libs by yourself
I write this in api v2:
map.enableGoogleBar();
I want to using v3, but I can't find enableGoogleBar function,
Where is it?
Check out http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-v3-googlebar It approximates the search functionality of the GoogleBar in v2, but works in v3.
This project offers a couple of advantages over the previous suggestion:
It includes a custom wrapper for the LocalSearch API's RESTful side, allowing tighter integration with a v3 map than is possible with the regular AJAX APIs LocalSearch object
It also includes a custom SearchForm so that you don't have to load the Search API at all.
It should be noted, though, that it does NOT (yet?) support AdWords, like the original GoogleBar did.
The Google Bar does not currently exist in the Maps API v3. You can implement the functionality manually by performing a Local Search using the Google AJAX Search API's.
