24. Map APIs : pros and cons
Pros Cons
Google Map First Ajax based brilliant looking map Only Javascript libray
International base map (Europe, Japan)
Detail world-wide aerial photos
Largest developer based APIs
Lots of hacks and mash-up
Yahoo! Map First external geocoding capability U.S. and Canada only
Very flexible and open API's Flyouts not quite as spiffy as Google
Rate limiting by IP instead of appID
GeoRSS support
Flash/Flex version available
AOL MapQuest Frist routing (driving directions) capability No smooth Ajax client (yet)
Geocoding capability Slow functional changes
Large users and big market share Weak documentations
Microsft Virtual Well documented and sample sites Low Performance
Earth Detail Building shape and 3D view

25. Google Map API Code
<script type=quot;text/javascriptquot;
src=quot;http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=ABCDEFGquot;></script>
<script type=quot;text/javascriptquot;>
google.load(quot;mapsquot;, quot;2.xquot;);
// Call this function when the page has been loaded
function initialize() {
var map = new
google.maps.Map2(document.getElementById(quot;mapquot;));
map.setCenter(new google.maps.LatLng(37.4419, -122.1419), 13);
}
google.setOnLoadCallback(initialize);
</script>
