dianikol85 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hi to all. I recently asked from my boss to create somthing like this: http://www.xo.gr/maps/ At the left you see two text boxes where you put your start point and the estination point and then in the google map it shows you the the road you should follow in order to arrive to your destination. There are some other options too.Like if you use a regular car or a bus etc. What knowledge does this project requires and where i should start? p.s. : The country in the google map is Greece. if you want a example try to type A) Amaliada to Athens Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falkencreative Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Are you trying to recreate Google Maps from scratch? If so, I would imagine this would be a huge task -- I really have no idea where I would start. I suppose the first place would be you'd need to acquire the maps themselves (probably a huge fee is involved there, since you'd be paying someone for their digital maps.) Alternately (probably the better option) would be to utilize something that's been already created and work with their APIs. For example, the Google Maps API: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/index.html. Alternately (though I don't read Greek), it looks like the site that you linked to is using http://www.terra.gr/ for its mapping capabilities? That's just a rough guess though.
