Google Maps & Filemaker / Php

November 22nd, 2009

I want to enhance my filemaker 10 data with google maps … ie:
Currently I show dynamic map in FM web viewer for a given address (parent record).
I wish to implement a work flow enabling additional clickable , custom markers (child records) including info & optional picture. Polylines would be great as well.

A draggable cursor with zoom control is desired but static map would be ok such as;

http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=37.018,-122.123&zoom=14&size=900×900&maptype=roadmap
&markers=color:blue|label:H|37.018,-122.123&markers=color:green|label:G|37.019,-122.125
&markers=color:red|color:red|label:P|37.017,-122.123&sensor=false&key=MAPS_API_KEY_HERE

It’s the precision placement of child record with custom markers (location editing) that I’m not sure how to implement.

I have about 2K (parent records) and anticipate an average of 4-6K (child records)

pushing data to Google “My Maps” would be ok as long as it doesn’t violate Googles Use Agreement.

I don’t own FileMaker Server but do have a MobileMe account with Apple and PHP supporting site with SBC Global (with 15MB at no add cost)

I intend to utilize a GPS camera which will provide L/L and have messed with various apps for post geo tagging of photos. Clumsy at best.
