I am trying to find a module for the middle east & Africa map to allow me to click a country and show a popup text depending on the country I click or apoint, this to be used on joomla 2.5.
any body can help with a name of such plugin or a module?
ZHGoogle Map is good, it will allow you to set the initial extent of the map (so to Africa & the Middle East) as well as add points with the popup information that you'd like to show.

Aoa,
I am working on a web application where a shop vendor must put a latitude and longitude of his/her shop.
It is easy to get if he/she is using application from the shop. But if he/she is somewhere else i want to show a map option to the vendor where he/she could search his/her shop point it. And I could get co-ordinates from that marker position.
I have studied google map api found a lot of useful things but couldn't understand how to achieve this as I am unable to find anything regarding getting co-ordinates from the marker.
It will be great if anybody could guide me that where should I look or what should I study to solve my issue.
Thanks in advance..
You can use the Maps JavaScript API to put a marker every time a certain point in the map was clicked then get the coordinates of the point and display it so that your user can directly get the exact coordinate of the marker. Here is a simple code I made to demonstrate this.
In the code, I used a listener to the map to check for every click on the map and put a marker on it. It will then update the label display with the coordinate of the marker.
map.addListener('click', function(event) {
addMarker(event.latLng);
document.getElementById("text").innerHTML = event.latLng.lat() + ',' + event.latLng.lng();
});
Hope this helps!
Right-click on the red marker on Google Maps after searching the location, select "what's here?" and you will see the coordinates in a pop-up.
What I have achieved so far is implement this tutorial http://www.androidhive.info/2012/08/Android-working-with-Google-places-and-maps-tutorial/
And now what I want is to implement a way in which GPStracker class which enables GPS for my device and detects where I am right now instead of my location, I want to show my app users a particular area let's say north of Bangalore (India); I know how to setup different types but I'm asking help in this
i.putExtra("user_latitude", Double.toString(gps.getLatitude()));
i.putExtra("user_longitude", Double.toString(gps.getLongitude()));
gps.getLatitude ()
Is asking GPSTracker.java for coordinates and the location manager is simply pulling the same from my location, but what I want is fake the users location to some coordinates in the north of the city so that I can show them the results of that area (places -restaurants)
We are using jquery-jvectormap-us-aea-en.js file for displaying JVectorMap USA map.
The requirement is that we need to show north california and south california in place of california.where can i find the Jvectormap coordinates for the same.
You can do it in either of the two way:
Get or generator a map/shapefile for USA with North and South California and then generate .JS file using Converter.py
It would be a manual effort but since you need to do it just for one state you can do it. i.e., create copy of California in js file call old copy as North California and new copy as South California and read/modify Path attribute to make it work.
According to this page from Microsoft's documentation, it's possible to set the heading of a Bing map as well as the coordinate around which it's centered and a zoom level using the method call setView(GeoCoordinate, double, double) but in practice, only the first two parameters are paid attention to and when I check the value of myMap.Heading it's still 0. I've also tried directly changing the heading (myMap.Heading=270;) and the same thing happens. Can anyone offer some assistance?
Note: Heading is supposed to be in degrees starting at 0 for north and increasing clockwise. (Source)
I found an old topic about this, but it was posted in 2011, apparently before this was implemented in WP (unless it still isn't but the documentation would suggest otherwise).
Thanks!
The Heading property is only functional in Birdseye (i.e. oblique) view, in order to specify whether you want a North, East, South, or West aspect.

I'm curious if I can do following this in wp7.
I want to do some basic things in park like:
Pan, zoom,
display POI layer.
Route from current location to park attractions,
concession stands,
misting stations,
bathrooms, etc.
Display additional info.
like height requirments and thrill levels when tapping on a ride
location.
Is it possible?
I think pan is not possible available. you have to set the zoom level explicitly or via the map's zoom button. There are a few Bing Maps API you can tap on for POI data. you should look at the following services
Route Service - Allows you to calculate location from one point to another http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc966826.aspx
Search Service - Allows you to do location searches eg. find nearby restaurants, petrol stations etc.
Other useful services
Geocode Service - Allows you to resolve address using coordinates and vice versa
Imagery Service - Gives you access to image data to build maps
