<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, how legal is using a script like
this? I'm especially interested in doing something like this for
geocoding, but in their terms and services it says (among other

<DIV>Now, I know this isn't doing anything with webpage ranks, meta-searching,

there were any legal implications to doing this kind of thing?.</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Using
Google Maps</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>To all,<BR> I have created an example of how
to use Google Maps in your own web pages for routing, geocoding, directions
etc. I have a sample web page and all the code is within that page. I'm sure
once folks see what I'm doing they will be able to add it to their own
Mapserver pages fairly easily. I am going to try and add the page to this
e-mail as a .zip file. If my gmail strips it out please feel free to e-mail me
and I will send you a copy of the zip file from another account. The source
will show you how to feed an address to Google Maps and get back the Lat, Lon
of that address. It will also show how to feed Google Maps a from and to route
request and get back the directions and the polyline coordinates of the route.
The source code is intended as example only and I leave it up to you to how
you want to add that data to your Mapserver implementations. Google Maps does
have restrictions to using their API so you must abide by them if you decide
to implement this example. If there are any errors in the source please let me
know so I can fix them. So far I have only tested this with Mozilla and
IE6.<BR>Thank you,<BR>Andy</BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
