Hi Shamil I'm not familiar with the MS Web Browser control but in .Net I have used this URL to display just the map: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=da&geocode=&q=kalkbr%C3%A6nderil%C3%B8bskaj+4+a,+denmark&sll=46.377254,-86.484375&sspn=28.638122,54.84375&ie=UTF8&t=p&s=AARTsJo6QIZIUSLZJjht_Zf2KrLNZ8c1xw&ll=55.720439,12.595997&spn=0.01692,0.036478&z=14&iwloc=addr&output=embed Maybe you can decode its parts for your purpose. /gustav >>> shamil at smsconsulting.spb.ru 07-08-2009 12:43 >>> Hi All, Have you ever tried to work with Google Maps in MS Access application via MS Web Browser control? To do some simple navigation you can use URLs like the following: Finland http://maps.google.com/maps?type=photo&mode=preview&ll=65,27&spn=5,5 Using this approach I have made a simple sample application, which screenshot you can see here: http://shamils-4.hosting.parking.ru/temp/GoogleMapsNavigator.jpg My question is: Do you know what format of URLs to use to show just a map? I know there exist the Google Maps API (http://code.google.com/intl/en-EN/apis/maps/) for advanced usage of Google Maps via JavaScript but I wanted to try to bypass usage of that API this time. For the ones interested to experiment via simple Google Maps navigation approach I have posted MS Access sample application here: http://northwind.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=26600 You can download it using the following URL(watch line wraps): http://northwind.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=26600#DownloadId=78352 (175KB) Our Northwind.CodePlex.com team could use the above approach + Google Maps API in .NET sample application. More advanced question is: Is there any way to react in MS Access hosting form's VBA code to the changes done in Google Maps map, e.g. Zoom-in/out, Move of map .? I mean when Zoon-in/out happens there should be AJAX (Google Maps API) calls to the Google server - are there any web browser events, corresponding to that API calls?(I know Browser navigation can be trapped via web browser events but this isn't the question.) Thank you. -- Shamil P.S.
