Google Maps / GPS

[azahn123]

How do I use livcode to track gps and output this to Google Maps ? I want to build an app that allows the mapping of gps points through livecode on my iphone THEN maps these points to a Google Maps (API) ?!

Hi azahn123,

This is not a question of new or not new

There is an iOS release notes pdf that can tell you how to get the gps coordinates.


I think that to get google map images, you might have to create a "browser" OR get a url and pass in some gps coords in the url.

I'm not sure yet. I have successfully used the get a url thing to get random numbers from random dot org.

I made a mistake about which forum you had posted in... This attached stack is for mobile, the previous one just runs on the desktop.
Hope that it helps you...

Hi Dixie,

those 2 stacks are way cool. Would have taken me a long time to figure out.(if at all)

Thank you very much.

Kind regards

I get this error:
button "chooseCity": execution error at line 15 (Handler: can't find handler) near "iphonePick", char 1

Durr...it only works in iOS.

Now that I'm thinking a little more clearly, I see that this is a really cool app!

How could we make it so that you can zoom out? Show bike lanes? Input your current location?

Hi Britt,

Durr...it only works in iOS.

yep, one need to use "if then" to make it (not!) compile.

Code: Select all

...
if the environment = "mobile" then
   ## iOS Stuff here
end if
...

I wish the desktop engine could simply ignore these special
"mobile" commands in the scripts...

To zoom out, then "pinch'. In the simulator, hold the 'option' key down and drag on one of the grey circles that appear.

Be well
