Vector Overlays for Google Maps! Future of Flash Google GPS?

Filed under: New Technology, Flash on Mobile Devices, Google, Flash, GPS — timwang @ 02:44:27 am

Now you can apply a flash interface over the existing Google Map and yet preserves all functionalities of Google Map!

Flash_overlay_Google_GPS

This demo is built based on VGMap. VGMap is a new library created by Eyebeam that allows designers, developers, and mapping geeks to overlay data on top of Google Maps in a richer way than is possible using their standard system. Flash provides for vector drawing, as well as a interactive and animation functionality. This VGMap library is simply the glue between GMap and Flash, as well as a handful of Flash ActionScript libraries and sample code to simplify the process of drawing over the map correctly.

This new technology simply opens a new dimension to the future Google GPS development. Will give it a try to see how this works...
