Re: [OpenMap Users] Google Maps API factory?

Hi Gary,

I just checked in a GoogleMapTileFactory that will display google maps in OpenMap using the MapTileLayer. It uses the Google static maps API, and is in the com.bbn.openmap.dataAccess.mapTile package.

You can set your API key from Google to set on the layer. If you don't set the key for the factory, you will not be allowed to make many image retrievals from Google's server. You need to be aware that even with the key, there are usage limits for downloading images, and a whole usage charge pricing structure in place.

Hope this helps,

Don
