I am not a web developer so in advance please forgive my lack of knowledge.
I am working on an applicationwhere the desired functionality is to have users enter a street address, have that address geocoded and display the result in browser on a Google map, all as the result of the user entry. The application is a Microsoft Access 2010 db and coding is VBA. Thanks to Peter De Baets, www.PetersSoftware.com, whose application gcc2000.mdb introduced me to the Google Maps API and furnished examples of geocoding addresses, and thanks to the Google Maps API site (http://code.google.com/apis/maps/index.html) which explains the parameters of static map display, I can build a string that represents the URL I would like to locate, passing lat-lng pairs for center and marker. An example of such a string is: strURL = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap? maptype=hybrid¢er=" & loc.Lat & "," & loc.lng & "&markers=" & loc.Lat & "," & loc.lng & "&zoom=16&scale=2&size=600x800&sensor=false" With latitude and longitude values substituted I can manually paste this string into the address bar and Google will return a static map centered on the l&l pair with a nice red indicator marking my target location. However, if I try to pass this same string as a parameter, I get an error message that the map can not be displayed. 'Unable to download staticmap from maps.googleapis.com' I've tried using strURL as the address of a hyperlink, and issuing the hyperlink.follow method for the hyperlink, and I've tried creating a browser object and issuing 'browser.navigate strURL'. Both methods are equally unsuccessful. It's obvious that I'm missing something. I would appreciate any suggestions that could point me in the right direction.
