Map Widget"

[William Prothero]

What I'm thinking about is a map that I can control location and magnification of a google map from livecode, do an image capture, and draw symbols on that capture. I would need to be able to recover the latitude and longitude of the displayed map boundaries.

I remember some discussions about whether image capture works with browser windows.

If anybody has wisdom on whether this will work, before I spend a bunch of time researching this, I'd be grateful. There is, I think, an API to google Earth, which might be something to look into.

Thanks,
Bill P
