Is there any GMAPS API for Webvi?

[ThamS]

We know there were lot of example on how to embed Gmaps page into webvi.

however, is there any example on how could webvi programmatically interact with gmaps?

e.g. :

- Get the coordinate from gmaps when some one click a location on the map,

- show specific location on gmaps when user switch/select a ring control or list box

You might be able to figure it out by combining GitHub - ni/webvi-examples: Examples of WebVI functionality in the LabVIEW NXG Web Module and GitHub - ni/labview-gmaps.

Hi ThamS,

I posted a WebVI example that gives an API for programmatically handling Google Maps and OpenStreetMaps in the community example page Maps for WebVI. 

It may be useful as a starting point and includes the ability to create a map and markers programmatically as well as the ability to update markers and open / close their popup text content.

I found your release 2 example, yesterday. 

Thank you for replying me with the most recent release.

I wonder If we could get event from the Map :

i.e. when we click on the marking point - now, the callout tag was shown near to the marker - could we also give output to LabVIEW webvi to highlight the location with in List box?
is it possible?

Hi ThamS,

That sounds like a good idea! I added the ability to wait for clicks on markers to Release 4 of the Maps for WebVI library. It should give you the building blocks needed to implement waiting for clicks on markers and updating the selected item.
