Google Maps as a Dynamic Background

[mmario18]

Hello there.

I am really new to VI ( like 1 week) and i have an assignment to implement a google map/google earth dynamic backroung project with LabVIEW 2019.

Basicallty, the components will be placed in a fixed position on the map but you could zoom in and out and the map will resize. Maybe some information would be shown if you click or hover over a placed component.

Does anyone know how it can be done?

Or if it is even possible ?

I would really appriciate your help.

Thanks in advance.

A search of "google maps Labview" provided some results. Perhaps this?:

Thank you for your reply. 

This is somehow a pathfinder program. I was hoping more like setting a map as a background.

Furthermore, I cannot afford to pay for google map API for this project.

You might look into using OpenStreetMap instead…
