texte = Thought you'd all like to know that I've finalized my Google map mashup (as seen here: http://pa-al-anon.org/meetings.html) and packed it up as a module. https://www.webdna.us/webdna-google-map-mashup.dna It uses very simple technology and the code is lean. One piece of the module is the map itself. The other piece is a script that scrapes the latitude and longitude from a Google map and adds it to your db. The files that go with it explain how to use it and include a bare bones database with the minimum fields needed. Chris tested this out on South American addresses, and it works just fine. If an address isn't mappable for some reason, I've built in a facility for adding the coordinates to the database directly. Although I went in a different direction, I would like to thank Tom Duke for generously sharing his code from his own mashup earlier this year. It's this type of sharing that gives me (us?) the confidence that anything is possible with WebDNA, and provides a good jumping off point. Enjoy!
