Dreamweaver Users
Pro Maps for Google enables developers and small business owners to easily
integrate customized Google Maps that leverage address databases, traffic
reporting, driving directions, and satellite view
Encinitas, CA (PRWEB) October 25, 2007 — Today’s release of Pro Maps for
Google from WebAssist brings the power and flexibility of Google Maps to an
even broader audience by taking the complexity out of integrating Google
Maps into web sites. Pro Maps for Google, an extension to Adobe
Dreamweaver, makes it possible for database-driven and manually entered
addresses to be displayed in a custom Google map on any website(without
complicated coding.
Pro Maps for Google steps the user through the options, and integration
process, with an easy to use wizard.
Features include:
* Support for street addresses and coordinates: Pro Maps for Google accepts
standard street addresses (both US and international format) as well as
coordinates (longitude and latitude). Multiple points can be mapped in
either or both formats.
* Works with manual and database-derived entries: Users can enter their
addresses or coordinates one at a time or bind them from database-driven
content. Manual and database entries can be mixed in the same map.
* Driving directions options: Include driving directions to your default
destination with the click of a checkbox. The starting location can be
manually entered, incorporated from a database or entered from a Web page
form.
* Full map controls made optional: Users can choose from two different pan
and zoom configurations, map type (map, satellite, hybrid), inset and more.
* Real-time traffic updates: Maps for major cities show where traffic is
congested in over 30 major US metropolitan areas with color-coded overlays.
* Enhanced address markers: Pro Maps for Google includes a library of seven
address markers: Google traditional/flat, Google traditional/pillow, flag,
pin, push pin and star, all in 11 different color schemes. Individual
markers can be assigned to different addresses or address recordsets.
“Google maps is an industry standard for navigating the world,” said Ray
Borduin, Vice President of Engineering for WebAssist. “Now anyone can
integrate Google’s feature rich maps with their database-powered sites,
whether they’re in the US or(with our new support for coordinates(anywhere
