NC Google maps development

Hi,

I'm looking for a few features for the google maps plugin (vazco_gmap):

A way to display the users of a group (or all users) on a
google maps
A way to search by distance for the users (e.g. 10km around a
specific town)
How much would it be to integrate these two features? Of
course I'm fine if you sell them to others, too.

BTW: Do I need to pay google to use the maps service?

 

regards

Alex

  • Alex,

    Google Maps usage only needs that you register for free with them and get some Key(s) which then enables you to access the Google Mapping Service.

    I'm sure that Vasco and other have already coded such a feature for Google Maps... Some one should have contacted you by now in this matter. My Team will also be coding similar features for some client, but we're not overly concerned with moon-lighting with the same code on the side ;-)

    Regards.

  • Hi,

    actuall I mailed vasco two times regarding these features, but he didn't reply. Therefore I'm  looking for other ways to get it done.

  • Alex,

    sorry for not answering to your email. We're currently working on multiple projects. Since I get hundrets of emails per day, I had to focus on the ones from our current clients first.

     

    A feature of displaying all users is already available in commercial version of vazco_gmap plugin. We can code in a map that will display users from a given group quite easily as well.

    Search feature is already in the commercial version - you can input a given town and map will focus on this town. Then with zoom you can select the area which you're interersted in and a list below the map will be updated. I sent you a demo of this mechanism in email. You can view a simplier version of members map, without search mechanism, on our site:

    If you need some additional modifications, please let me know on email and I'll send you an estimate. We can quite easily extend the google maps plugin.

     

    ps. You don't need to pay Google to use map service - at least not unless your site makes millions of queries to Google Maps per day.

  • Alex,

    If Vazco's solution works for you and when you don't need help anymore, please post a PCL to let other devs know.

    Thanks,
    DW
