Rendering the map with coordinates

[MajklS]

Hi,
can you map google maps in labWindows and watch for example the movement of a vehicle using GPS coordinates in real time?

Can I find an example or source code somewhere? Or is there a library for that?

I did not find this option in ActiveX and I do not know whether it goes somehow through bitmap.

Thank you for your help.

May not be the best solution but, you can use the Internet Explorer activeX control and set the URL such that Google maps gives you a map centered around the coordinate you provide. See the Maps URL API for details.

Yes, thank you for the answer, this is exactly what I did, but there was a problem when new information came up, the page is still updating and I need smooth running of the vehicle, without updating. (Or at least not to affect clarity.)

Fmt(mapa, "%s%f%s%f%s", "https://www.google.com/maps/@",latitude,",",longitude,",861m/data=!3m1!1e3"); 
INET_IWebBrowser2Navigate (webHandle, NULL, mapa, CA_DEFAULT_VAL, CA_DEFAULT_VAL, CA_DEFAULT_VAL, CA_DEFAULT_VAL);
//Install event handler for navigate complete event from web browser
INET_DWebBrwsrEvnts2RegOnNavigateComplete2 (webHandle,NavigateComplete, NULL, 1,NULL);

The geographic location is rendered here, but as the "longitude" and "latitude" changes, the whole page will be updated and this will be unclear.

There is also a fixed internet explorer there and there is also a compatibility issue.

How about creating a new page with JavaScript in it.

I am no JS expert, but possibly you can read the lat and long from a file and thus change the map view without reloading the whole page.

You just need to write the latest lat long values to a common file.

I recommended using a file because I don't know any other way to modify the JS variable with external data.

Thank you, that might work, but I don't know how to implement this line of code into labWindows.
I don't understand JavaScript.

Unfortunately, I didn't find anything like that to work with it to have an example of what to do.

Here, someone was dealing with it through the Google Earth library, but I didn't see any result and CVI doesn't contain it.

I haven't found any other source code.
