Is this the right to use or for iOS can use dynamic google maps embeded(can be embedded fo iOS)

Question

function displayMap(e) {
var title = e.data.title,
    latlng = e.data.lat + ',' + e.data.lng;
if (typeof device !='undefined' && device.platform.toLowerCase() == 'android') {
window.location = 'http://maps.google.com/maps?z=16&q=' + encodeURIComponent(title) + '@' + latlng;
} else {
$('#map h1').text(title);
$('#map div[data-role=content]').html('<img src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=>' + latlng + ' &zoom=16&size=320x420&markers=' + latlng + '&sensor=false">');
$.mobile.changePage('#map', 'fade', false, true);
my phonegap (Adobe press, Powers jQuery with dw 5.5) book (old book (c)2010-11) says for above code: // is this valid for today, is this the right to use or for iOS can use dynamic google maps embeded(can be embedded fo iOS)???
On iOS, calling window.location loads the map directly
into the app. That’s great until you realize that iOS devices
don’t have a Back button, so there’s no way to exit the
map. To get round this problem, I loaded a static map as
an image in the map page block. It’s not interactive, but at
least you can continue using the Travel Notes app after
viewing the map by clicking the Back button generated by
jQuery Mobile.

Well, this took me a while to get solved, but it is indeed solved.
I tried USB Overdrive and it could, and perhaps should work, but apparently it will not. When adding a device, it seems that USB Overdrive is not set up to handle any input device that does not register itself as either a Mouse or a Joystick. The VEC USB Footpedal that I'm using is "Device type: Other".
So, I went for Quickeys. And Quickeys can do it all. It did recognize the device, I was able to assign it to the scope of the particular audio playback app I wanted to use (Amazing Slow Downer OS X - which is truly amazing. Any musicians reading this who are looking for a way to learn pieces by ear, this does it better than anything else I've seen yet).
I created a shortcut in Quickeys for the ASD app; added the middle button of the foot pedal as the trigger; set one step, entering 'space bar' as the step (which toggles playback, similar to many audio players).
It all worked.
Quickeys is very confusing and seemingly featured with an endless array of options. Enter at your own risk. Ask me for help. This was the only way to get it done that I could find. I did write to the author of USB Overdrive asking him to please support additional devices as I did find some traction from gamers who like to use a foot pedal in addition to other input devices. There was a Windows-only management utility for the foot pedal that was intended for custom input, assigning the buttons to any keyboard input or mouse click event. It would be nice to have a simple and easy to use utility like this. But, Quickeys did do the job.
Thanks for your help, you guys!!!
