Sales & Marketing Online MapIt URL Maps feature for Addresses Google Maps

We recently enabled the MapIT URL functionality so our users can see street maps from Yahoo from Sales Online when they click on the Map it icon associated with all addresses in Sales and Marketing Online.
See Metalink 280542.1 for how to enable this in the Ebusiness Suite.
Two questions:
1. We would like to use Google Maps; does anyone know how this can be done?
2. Our business is in Australia. By default we hide Australia as a county on our addresses. This prevents us from seeing maps for addresses in Australia. Any body know a way around this?
Image for clarification can be found here: http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/90720/0/

Sorry mate looks like it is not straight forward change that you can make to use Google instead of Yahoo.
You may need to use Google Maps APIs and try to build your own URL and update the profile option.
I am hoping in next version of Oracle Apps has out of the box functionality to use Google maps.

Maps doesn't have my address; Google Maps did.

what is to be done?

Bing Maps offers a very good maps service with Bird's Eye, a feature similar to Flyover. It's arguably better than Google Maps.

You can use Google Maps by creating a shortcut to the Home Screen with help from the article below.

Issue in Develop mode for embedding google map

Hello,
I am facing an interesting issue in Develop mode for embedding google map html code (screenshot is attached)
The map rectangle showing almost same size box underneath filled in black, while in preview mode, it is working properly. I could not find the reason, where I am doing something wrong.
Many thanks .

Hi Muzeone,
Its a default behavior with every WYSIWYG HTML Designer or editor,
Reason :The black box which is appearing in the design view is because you might have tried increasing the size of the iframe thumbnail.
If you are using Iframe and using Insert HTML feature in MUSE, make sure when you paste the iframe code in MUSE, it creates a thumbnail in design view do not resize it in design view.
Size does not change the height and width of Iframe in MUSE as its being controlled by the codes that you are inserting.
The design view will only show you iframe height which is defined in the codes below that it will show a black box.
Enjoy working with MUSE !!
Thanks

Best tutorial for installing Google maps on 10.2.1?

Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good tutorial for installing Google maps on 10.2.1?
Including where to download the APK (I've looked for a while and it feels like I'm trying to find a TV show for download). Is there a ways to do this directly grom Google's Android sites?
Thanks,
Dave

How to Replace New Maps app on ios 6 with Google Maps?

Can someone please provide the procedure to replace the new maps app on ios 6 with Google Maps?
Thank you

You can still use Google’s maps — on the Web. Visit maps.google.com and accept the offer to create a Home-screen icon for you. You won’t get spoken directions, but you’ll get written directions, public transportation details, live traffic reports and, of course, Google’s far superior maps and data. (In two weeks, you’ll be able to get Street View this way, too, says Google.) And you can install the Google Plus Local app for full access to Google’s more complete database of shops and businesses.
You can also use someone else’s app. Many good ones cost money, but the MapQuest and Waze apps are free and offer spoken directions; Waze also incorporates real-time information about traffic jams, accidents and speed traps, collected by thousands of iPhones and Android phones on the roads.
If you can wait a couple of months, you’ll be able to install Google’s own maps app; Google is busily readying one for the iPhone and iPad.
 Cheers, Tom

Questions about BLOG feature and about Google Maps Widget

Hi, just started using iweb & mobileme to take a break from dreamweaver & ISP host (I am so bored with both of them). iWeb 09 seems very VERY cool, but I chose a theme with a blog feature for a blog I am starting for our studio, and it works strangely. The entries are replicated in full on the blog home page, and that does not make sense. Read more? Why, you just read it all! Albeit in smaller print and different layout. But I am sure that I am missing something there:) Also, how do people comment on the articles? I see nothing there!
On google map, I want to add a pin but don't see how using the widget. It only gives me a google known address, which are few and far between in Nepal. So how do I fix that?
Here is the draft site:
http://web.me.com/studiosphoenix/Blog/TheBird/TheBird.html
ALSO, BONUS QUESTION: where is the best place to get more/better canned themes for iWeb, and are there tips on installing them? thx!!!

Draft Link changed!

Error "a plugin is needed to display this content" for embedded Google map, but no plugin identified.

When I try to view a page that has a Google map embedded on the page, I get the error message "a plugin is needed to display this content". However, I don't know what plugin, where to get it, etc. I've tried searching for this issue but haven't been able to come up with anyone else experiencing a similar issue, nor does there seem to be a plugin for Google Maps that I can find.
The page is here:
http://osiama.org/lodges#
The map displays when one of the links is clicked in the table.

I'm not sure why, but the site uses <embed> for the map instead of <iframe>.
When Firefox wants to render an <embed>, it needs to know what type of object is being embedded, and the site doesn't supply that information, so you see a generic "I don't know how to handle this" error.
Unfortunately, I don't think there is a quick workaround for you as the end user. If you are the type to tinker, you can manually edit the code of the page in the web console as follows:
* right-click the plugin message and choose Inspect Element (Q) - the web console will open to the Inspector, with the <embed> element selected (screen shot #1)
* double-click embed and edit it to iframe, then press Enter to finish the edit
* Firefox will now load the map (screen shot #2)
This isn't a general fix-all for plugin errors, and ultimately the site will need to change this.

How does one create LOV Map between 2 fields for custom lookup mapping

Hi there
In Internet Expenses, Expense Report Line Detail we have two unrelated fields; namely Expense Location & Tax Code.
The requirement is to map a default tax code to locations; basically when a user enters Expense Location then the mapped tax code value should default into field Tax Code.
The location-tax code mapping is stored in a custom lookup (FND_LOOKUP_VALUES).
My question is how does one go about implementing this? For example is it possbile to create a new (hidden) LOV based on the lookup mapping & then create a Personalization LOV Mapping between the 3 LOV... Or is it necessary to modify the Tax Code drop down Message Choice in JDeveloper? Of course details are appreciated!
FYI below is the relevant Personalization Structure from "Personalize Stack Layout: (NormalDetails)".
Message Lov Input: Expense Location
- Lov Mappings
-- Lov Map: (lovMap1)
-- Lov Map: (lovMap2)
-- Lov Map: (lovMap3)
- Message Text Input: Expense Location
- Message Styled Text: Transaction Location
- Message Text Input: Merchant Name Yes
- Message Styled Text: Description
- Message Check Box: Original Receipt Missing Yes
- Message Choice: Tax Code
- Message Check Box: Amount Includes Tax
- Message Choice: Tax Code
Many thanks
G

Hello all
The correct & supported method is this:
Extend the location LOV in JDeveloper & add a "default tax" attribute, this could be derived from a new location DFF storing the default tax code for each location. Now simply create a location Personalization LOV Map which takes this new location lov tax attribute & target it to the tax message choice field.
That's my 2c worth anyway, so please give comment if you feel there is a better way.
There is just one more little problem however... The requirement has changed! Now we require the tax code to default according to not one location field, but other fields too. For example if the user selects Expense Type of Beverage & Location of Netherlands then Tax Code should be NL19%, for Expense Type of Hotel then it should be NL6%; if the user ticks "Missing Receipt" field then it should over ride all others & set the code to NL0%.
Any ideas?
Many thanks
G

Google maps has gone away from ios6 and apple maps doesnt work well for India. Stuck ??

Apple released there own maps, and got away with google maps....Now, For lots of countries like India etc , apple maps arent done well yet... and google had a wonderful support all across lots of countries. Getting away from google maps has made us stuck with maps functional on iphone4 and ios6.
This is not working well updating ios6 and we are losing biggest use of iphone (Maps)

How to get digital signature for Google Map geocoding V3 in PL/SQL?

Hi, Gurus:
    Could anyone provide me an example about how to generate digital signature for Google Maps service v3 in PL/SQL? We tried to upgrade our program using Google maps service from v2 to v3. We are using PL/SQl on background to send request to Google for geocoding. We found some sample code to register with digital signature, but none of them is based on PL/SQl. Notice I used Google business client ID "gme-XXX" and wallet.
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/business/webservices/auth#digital_signatures
Google Maps API - more URL signing samples
Here is my code for V2. I notice in order to get signature, I need to use HMAC-SHA1 algorithm.
procedure Get_Geocoding(P_s_Address in varchar2, P_s_Geocoding out varchar2, P_n_accuracy out number, P_b_success out boolean) is
l_address varchar2(4000);
l_url varchar2(32000);
l_response varchar2(3200);
n_first_comma number;
n_second_comma number;
n_level_length number;
BEGIN
/* TODO implementation required */
l_address:=APEX_UTIL.URL_ENCODE(P_s_Address);
l_address := replace(l_address,' ','+');
l_url := 'http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q='||l_address||'&'||'output=csv'||'&'||'client=gme-XXX';
l_response := utl_http.request(l_url, APEX_APPLICATION.G_PROXY_SERVER, '/u02/app/oracle/admin/apexsb/wallet', 'XXXXXXXX');
n_level_length:=0;
n_first_comma:=instr(l_response,',',1,1);
n_second_comma:=instr(l_response,',',1,2);
n_level_length:=n_second_comma-n_first_comma-1;
P_n_accuracy:=0;
if n_level_length>0 then
P_n_accuracy:=to_number(substr(l_response,n_first_comma+1, n_level_length));
end if;
l_response:=substr(l_response,instr(l_response,',',1,2)+1);
--dbms_output.put_line('In function: l_response ='||l_response);
P_s_Geocoding:=l_response;
if (P_s_Geocoding<>'0,0') then
P_b_success:=true;
--dbms_output.put_line('true');
else
P_b_success:=false;
--dbms_output.put_line('false');
end if;
END;
Thanks!

Hi, guys:

Adobe Widget browser "Google Map" Search box for address

First of all I would like to thank Zizzer Zazzer for this google map. I ts really very helpful for the website. I was wondering if this is possible to add text search box for the address in google map? I was trying my self and tried with geocode with no success.If any one of you know about this then plz let me know. Here is my code

Come on guys....!!Any one here to answer or any one knows about it?

Can anyone suggest an international GPS nav app that offers map and POI downloads for offline access and route search?

I'm going to be in the UK with an American phone, don't expect mobile data, and I'd like to use this app instead of the £30 up charge for a rental GPS... I've seen the free Navfree and the cheap as free MotionX Drive, but have read Navfree has some spotty routing and MotionX won't allow regional (or even whole city, ftm) map downloads.

At $90 for the UK maps this is a too pricey for the use case. In case it wasn't clear, I'm visiting the UK short term so I shouldn't spend more than the £30 to hire a GPS nav system.
Thanks for the suggestion! Any other ideas?

Numbers/Address Book and Google Maps

I would love to integrate my spreadsheet of addresses or my Address Book with Google Maps.
Is this possible? Somehow?
I take a lot of trips across the country and don't always know when I will be driving by my friends. But if I had a map I could glance at to see where they all are, I would know that I could schedule a lunch with a friend halfway or something like that.
I have heard about MapPoint, but don't know if there is anything like this that is free/affordable/non-MS.
Thanks!

Integrating in Numbers would not be automatic. You'd have to format links to assign to each address.
I've seen plug-ins to use Google maps with Address Book. Try a search on MacUpdate or VersionTracker for Address Book.
I think one of the features for Address Book in Leopard is integration with Google maps.
