Getting a Google MAP

[William Prothero]

Hermann:
Thanks so much. This is very helpful. I thought I was in for a huge tussle getting this to work and now I see that it’s not going to be a huge hassle. I write geophysical data on a map and Google puts out some nice looking terrain maps, and now I don’t need to include maps in my app. Wonderful!

Best,
Bill
