Latitude longitude picker using google maps and lazarus

I am desigining a simple geolocation application in witch the user must select it's location.

I was wondering if there is any way I can access google maps or any other map to display a map and allow the user to select his location by clicking on it.

I have managed to do this with Delphi using the TWebbrowser but I am looking for a cross platform solution.

Maybe someone can help me.

Thanks

  • Yes, there's a way. Look for TMapViewer on Google Code.

    Features:

    • Google Maps: Normal, Satellite, Hybrid, Physical, Physical hybrid
    • OpenStreet based maps: OpenStreetMap Mapnik, OpenStreetMap Osmrenderer, OpenCycleMap
    • Virtual Earth: Normal, Aerial, Road, Hybrid
    • Yahoo: Normal, Satellite, Hybrid
    • Nokia Ovi: Normal, Satellite, Hybrid, Physical
    • lots of debug information
    • pluggable download engine (synapse, native win32)
    • basic thread based downloading

    Link: Get them from Google Code

    Cheers!!!
