The query string is appended to the basic URL used to query Google Maps the combined string is set as the navigation URL property for the web browser control. The bottom pane of the control contains a panel with a web browser control docked into it. Both sets of controls have buttons the click event handlers for these buttons are used to construct a query string used to retrieve the map based on either the address or coordinates supplied by the user.

The second set of controls will collect a latitude and longitude.

There are two sets of controls in this panel the first set will collect an address in the form of the street, city, state, and zip code (5 digit). The form contains all of the controls and code necessary to request and display a map from the Google Maps site.įigure 3: Solution Explorer with Project Visible.įorm 1 contains a split panel control oriented horizontally the top pane contains the controls used to enter the search terms. The project is called 'MapAddress' and this project contains one form.

The solution contains a single project for a C# windows desktop application.

While I have not tried it specifically, I would imagine that one could build the same sort of interface and use it against Microsoft's Virtual Earth.įigure 2: Mapping an Address (Hmmm, my old neighborhood seems to have changed). You even get an overview map, the ability to print the map, email it, or link to it at no extra charge. Since the application is based entirely on Google Maps, as an added bonus, the Google Maps site provides all of the view manipulation controls necessary to navigate the map so with no additional effort you pick up panning and zooming, traffic maps, street maps, raster imagery, and hybrid maps combining street maps with raster. Building the application does not require any sort of agreement or licensing with Google there is no required API to invoke and it really won't take more than a few minutes to put a map into your desktop application.įigure 1: Mapping an Address by Latitude and Longitude. The demonstration application will map a point by either its physical address or its latitude and longitude.

This project demonstrates a quick and easy way to add mapping to a windows desktop application (with an available internet connection) using Google Maps as the basis and source for the map.
