Google Maps API is now available
Posted on: June 30, 2005
Google has announced that they have released an API for developers who need to create their applications on top of Google Maps
Excerpt from their announcement :
Developers are already using Google Maps on their websites in an ad hoc way. Some examples of interesting things done with Google Maps include housingmaps.com, dynamite.co.uk/local and chicagocrime.org. Google
wants help these developers and others by providing support and documentation for their innovations.
The API is open to commercial and non-commercial websites that are free to consumers. Google will include the Google logo on the map, a link back to Google Maps and may show ads in the future on the maps. More
