not quite sure what you mean but technically if you want to
capture the image of
a google map use the static API:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/staticmaps/
and cf8's imageNew() or <cfImage action="read"> to
capture the map image &
imageWrite() or <cfImage action="write"> to write the
image file to your server.
legally, not sure this is OK w/google maps' TOS:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/terms.html
though i guess maybe if you were doing this to improve your
app's performance it
might be ok???

  • Old Google maps and satellite images :(

    Has anybody else noticed that the Google maps and satellite images are out of date. Specifically, the map and satellite image at my location both show a hospital which has been GONE for more that 10 years!

    Song, that doesn't always work. Glad yours does!
    It depends on what servers Google is routing your through, where you live, what satellite towers your picking up, what towers you are connecting to, etc.
    I can tell you, at this very moment, I am looking at my house online on Google maps, and on my iPhone, and they are different images. I don't know which is newer, which is older -- my pool cover is on in one photo, my pool cover is off in the other photo. They might be taken in the middle of the summer on two separate days -- they could be taken years apart.
    Sometimes, I see the local Whole Food built about 4 years ago up the street from me. Sometimes it shows a construction site in that location.
    But at this very moment, I am looking at two different maps. It has always been my experience that is the case - even with older Windows Mobile smartphones, and with a Blackberry. Sometimes the images match, and sometimes they do not. It clearly indicates different data bases that they are accessing.

  • Sluggish at initial opening and loading websites, google maps print and images not working right, problems are not present in Chrome and Safari

    Firefox is very slow opening. Web pages load slowly. When I go to images in a Google search, the pictures take a long time to load, and when I click on an image, then the back arrow, the loading time for the previous page is very slow. When I print a Google map, it is small, rather than full-page. In Google Chrome or Safari, the same actions product immediate results. I cannot get Google desktop to work.

    This sounds like a network problem, since it goes away when you connect through a different network. You'll need to talk to your university's IT department about this.

  • Restoring from Backup - Google Map Locations???

  • Image.createImage() on benq-siemense M81 and SE z530i (using google maps)

    I'm getting static google maps to show them in my j2me application. There is one problem...
    Code for shoing image:
    try {
                byte[] preimage  = gm.retrieveStaticImage(<params>);
                this.my_image = Image.createImage(preimage, 0, preimage.length);
                this.getImageItem().setImage(my_image);
    } catch (Exception ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
    }Data coming to preimage. Size of it is OK. But Image.createImage() method doesnt work on z530i. I dont see any messages with exceptions... Whats wrong? Maybe data format? I tryed GIF, JPG, PNG32. Result is the same...
    PS

    Hello
    I rooted my Sony Ericsson Arc S by following your excellent and easy to understand instuctions in order to remove some of the unwanted crap that came preloaded on the phone and in order to install the rooted version of Avast antivirus/antitheft app.
    Everything has worked perfectly well for the last few months since doing this however now I am unable to update the phone via the sony ericsson update service.
    Please advise

  • Images do not load in foxfire, but load ok in IE. such as the zoom bar in google maps

    I'm using Firefox 9. when I goto sites such as amazon, the images do not load. I can right click on the image box and select view image and the image will be displayed in a new page. An other example is google maps. The zoom bar on the left does not display. If I move the cursor over where the zoom bar is suppose to be the cursor will change to the hand and I can left click to work the zoom. If I bring up Internet Explorer all images, etc work ok.

    You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
    *Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
    *Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
    *Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    *Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
    *Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • .gif Images saved as static images, not animated

    Using the most recent version of Firefox mobile on Android 4.1.2 on a Samsung Galaxy S3. I can download animated .gif images via Firefox to my phone and the saved file will display as a static image. If I download an animated .gif image with the proprietary browser the saved image will display as an animated image.
    Thanks in advance,
    Evan

    Thanks for bringing to the notice, I'm filing a bug regarding this.

  • No Images in Goggle, Google Maps, eBay, YouTube or Amazon Why?

    Hello,
    Now I'm very new to the Mac world having just purchased my new 24" iMac with Time Capsule. It's goodbye to my old slow clunky PC.
    I thought everything was running smoothly until recently.
    It's sorted of started with Google Maps in iPhoto, where the large map no longer displays. The red pins can be seen, but no map. Now when I try looking at Google Maps in Safari, this also no longer displays.
    This problem has now spread to other internet sites, Youtube, eBay and Amazon being the most problematic. All 3 sites download without fuss, however no preview images appear. When you say click on a video in Youtube, the video will play, however the preview images down the side remind blank.
    Now it's probably a set up error on my behalf, but was hoping someone might be able to guide me thru a couple of fixes.
    Hoping someone can help, and remember I'm new to Mac so be kind.
    Regards

  • Adding static images to map at specific points in time

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a power map animation and I am having difficulties figuring out how to go beyond simply animating the data over time.  let's say I want to add a little image of the space needle in Seattle when the animation gets to the point in
    time when it was built.  Obviously, I will be in the process of animating my normal data when this image gets added.  Also, if you know of any tutorials that might be relevant please mention them.
    Thanks,
    Bob

    You can add static images at a point in time and these are done by adding an annotation to a specific point that is plotted on your map.  Once you pause the tour at a specific time you might want to add a scene to the tour and then add your annotation.
     In order to add an annotation you will need to select the point and then right-click and select 'Add Annotation'.  You will then be able to add a title along with either text, a field from data set, or an image.  At this point you can continue
    to plat the tour and/or add another scene and continue to build out your tour.
    Check out this article on inserting annotations to Power Maps for additional information

  • How to view satellite image during navigation with google maps iphone 5

    I am a new iPhone convert. I switched from the HTC EVO that used Google Navigation. Google Navigation in Android allows the user to see the image of the map during actual navigation to be the satellite view instead of the standard map view. I downloaded the Google Navigation App to my iPhone 5 but I can't get the map to switch to satellite view. I can only get the satellite view up for the overview map. Once navigation starts, the screen pops back over to the standard map view. How do I view the satellite image during navigation? Please help....

    I don't believe that is an option in Google Maps for iOS.

  • How do you insert an image into a google map using a macbook?

    I am trying to put images into a Google map using my MacBook, but cannot seem to find any help. How do I insert an image into my Google map using my MacBook?

    Nothing complicated with your menu - very clear "ADD Image" but my menus are not as simple. Everytime I need to add an image I spend 5-10 minutes searching again. Wonder why so hard. I generally find Acrobat menus cryptic and unclear and I am big Adobe fan - use Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Premier, Fireworks etc - but Acrobat menus are like calculus in the dark.

  • Corporate Website Design - Make a Static Custom Map or Google Maps

    Could some one please kindly advise on the following:
    What is considered more professional if you are designing a corporate Website.
    1. To design a custom map that shows each rail road crossing and traffic light on the way to the company. But due to the fact that it is a still image suffer from usability issues e.i. not being able to zoom beyond the drawn bitmap.
    2. To embed a well known tool such as Google Maps (that allows world wide zooming), marking the location of the company building with a custom photo pin.
    3. A combination of both points above displayed on one contact us site.
    The above needs to be corporate design conform.
    Thank you in advance for your advice.
    AZ.

    Hi Marian,
    Thank you for the reply,
    1. The audience consists of a the following according to the polls:
    27.5% - Government Official
    9.4% - Network/Association
    8.8% - Student
    8.7% - Academia
    5.8% - NGO Representative
    4.8% - IO/IGO Representative
    3.4% - Media
    2. It is an International Institute so they are from all over the world.
    3. Map interaction is not needed but it would be an advantage considering the town in which the institute is located has a common name and often gets mistaken for another in a totally different country.
    4. Interactive maps on cell phones and GPS
    A map on the webpage is needed because:
    A. The audience is so widespread e.i. from Government Officials to Students from all over the world including the LDC countries, that it is near impossible to predict what technologies are available to them, it is assumed that they will be able to access the internet.
    B. Requested by the management.
    Thank you in advance for your advise

  • Google Maps Reloading Images even after completed

    Hi, my Maps on iPad 64GB #G + Wifi is acting strange. It keeps reloading images from maps even after it has been loaded infinitely.
    I've made a video of what's happening.
    www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLLfUZKNTi8
    anyone knows what's causing this?

    Having the EXACT SAME PROBLEM here. Appears this is a widespread problem but difficult to find any information on. Seems this may have to do with Google's latest api implementation relaease and a conflict with Safari.
    Another issue that I have had and looking through Google and Apple forums seems to be other are having this also is, in ability to zoom in or out after a map does maage to load. First the flicker problem now seems to be EVERY TIME i go into maps. It was or seemed to be an intermittent problem but no longer. When I was able to load a page I often could not ZOOM IN or OUT. I thought this had to do with my connection but have read other have the same issue and it was when connected to a perfect 3G or WiFi signal.
    My info is as such;
    1. Ipad 64gb w/3G
    2. This Ipad is not Jailbroken
    3. Running 4.2.1
    4. Problem occurs when connected via WiFi and 3G
    5. No other apps running in background (or at least not initiated by me. I have not tried turning off push notifications).
    Here are some links I have found related to what seems to be this issue.
