HTML::GoogleMaps or Other Way to show multiple addresses on amap

From: Suresh Govindachar
I could not even get started with HTML::GoogleMaps and
geocoder.us since the " Example" pop-up an error
dialog box about internet explorer not being able to open
the internet site.
I got it to open up and work just great with Mozilla Firefox
copy the link into your Firefox browser, and it works just fine
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~nmueller/fsbo_open_houses.pl
If you aren't already using Firefox, first ask yourself this
question: "why am I not already using Firefox?", and then
go straight away to their website and install it.

However, that doesn't answer the original question
sent on 30 Jul 2005 15:20:55 +0000:

I would like to show multiple addresses on a map -- from a "user
PC" (rather than from a "web-server"). I am hoping to have a perl
script read in a list of addresses and generate a html page. All
the input addresses would be within about 20 miles of each other;
and each address in the list would have a html link associated
with it. Viewing the html page generated by the perl script in a
browser should show a map with markers for each address in the
list. Clicking on the marker should open a new browser for the
html link associated with that address.

Can the preceding be done? Any suggestions?

Incidentally, looking at www.cs.wisc.edu/~nmueller/fsbo_open_houses
(note no .pl at the end) displays code which seems to print to the
browser the way a cgi script would. So I gather HTML::GoogleMaps is
meant to be used in a cgi script.

Actually, the fact that that script prints to a browser as a cgi
script would can be overcome by having a corresponding .pl script
print to a file and then opening the file in a browser. The actual
restriction to a web-server is likely to come from HTTP::GoogleMaps'
use of the "key" parameter -- the "key" is provided by Google to
people who submit the web-server they would like to use the key
from. So I suppose Google validates the key sent in with
each request with the location from where the request is coming
from before responding to the request.

is WebServer::GoogleMaps.

To install on Windows, just end up with the file
<path
Then change line 57 in GoogleMaps.pm from
$self->{gm_version} ||= ".1";
to
$self->{gm_version} ||= ".3";
(Preceding modification is from a post to CPAN::Forum
by Michael Burns on Sat Jun 18 20:38:18 2005.)
Then run the two main examples and look at the resulting
images mymap.png and goodeats.png.

Why not a webserver on your local PC ? You can easily install
Apache on your PC from Apache.org.

I would consider using HTML::GoogleMaps instead and bring up the
Google map interactive so you can pan and zoom direct from the
Google site. You can get a free key for your machine (I got one
for 127.0.0.1 and used that on my PC).

Thanks for the suggestion and mentioning (below) your experience
using GoogleMaps with it.

I suspect that one can also write a perl script that acts as a
simple HTTP server and works with GoogleMaps -- but I don't know
where to start for coding and for seeing examples of such scripts.
I would like to explore this before getting into Apache.
Any suggestions?

Why not just do it with Javascript ? If you have a webserver, you can
just code it in Javascript (that's all HTML::GoogleMaps does is change
your code to Javascript). Here's a page that will start you off near
my house (I shifted it off a bit) and let you move wherever you want :

<!DCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "">

<HTML xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml">

<HEAD>
<script <KEY-GES-HEREtype=text/javascript></script>
</HEAD>

<BDY>

<div id=map style="width: 900px; height: 600px"></div>
<script type=text/javascript>
//<![CDATA[
//if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {

var map = new GMap(document.getElementById("map"));
map.centerAndZoom(new GPoint(-118.709012, 34.282444), 0);
map.setMapType(G_HYBRID_TYPE);
map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl());
map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());
var marker_1 = new GMarker(new GPoint(-118.709812, 34.284244));
(marker_1);
var point = new GPoint (-118.709812, 34.284244);
var marker1 = new GMarker (point);
// Show this marker's index in the info window when it is clicked
//var html = "My House - ";
//GEvent.addListener (marker1, "click", function (overlay, pos) {
// marker1.openInfoWindowHtml(html + pos.x + ", " + pos.y);
//});
(marker1);

//}
//]]>
</script>

</BDY>

</HTML>

You have to get a key from Google
I just used 127.0.0.1 for my IP address.

The addListener part isn't working yet - just started playing with it (and
Javascript).
