Integrating Google Maps :

Integrating Google Maps :
User Interface is a part of Cloud Architecture ,You can see google map on a page for a billing address or any other information on a google map using visualforce page.It is simple and also can deploy to production since you don't worry about code coverage since it doesn't have any custom controller.This simple example for account object billing address shows on detail page of account (section created on page layout drag the visualforce page into that section).The code looks like this



<apex:page standardController="Account">

<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api">
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">

var map = null;
var geocoder = null;

var address = "{!Account.BillingStreet}, {!Account.BillingPostalCode} {!Account.BillingCity}, {!Account.BillingState}, {!Account.BillingCountry}";

function initialize() {
if(GBrowserIsCompatible())
{
  map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("MyMap"));
  map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());
  map.addControl(new GLargeMapControl3D());

  geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();
  geocoder.getLatLng(
    address,
    function(point) {
      if (!point) {
        document.getElementById("MyMap").innerHTML = address + " not found";
      } else {
        map.setCenter(point, 13);
        var marker = new GMarker(point);
        map.addOverlay(marker);
        marker.bindInfoWindowHtml("Account Name : <b><i> {!Account.Name} </i></b>
 Address : "+address);
      }
    }
  );
}
}
</script>


<div id="MyMap" style="width:100%;height:300px"></div>
<script>
    initialize() ;
</script>

</apex:page>
