Playing with Yahoo Maps Flash
January 15th, 2007
Started messing around with the Yahoo Maps Flash API. It’s a very cool piece of work. Plenty of potential there to showcase the power of Flash. I haven’t had a chance to do anything great but I’ve got it showing a bunch of sports venues around Ireland (mostly GAA grounds). Handy if you need directions to Croke Park or somewhere like that - You can zoom right in on the map to see the exact location of each ground. Click here to see the sample.
The locations are all read in from an georss file and plotted using their latitude and longitude. Trying to find the exact location of a venue in Ireland, outside Dublin, is quite tricky - but that’s to be expected I suppose
