Gentlemen, Just started Geocoding all our customers and interfacing the Google maps to our VFP system here and it is going well in that we can now display interactive graphs of customers/prospects for our sales staff and throw the links to the graphs into the reps Google calendars on their phones/tablets/laptops... so far so good.
However, I have a question and I guess I am being a little lazy here, as I can't be bothered sifting through all the non-useful so called solutions on the net. The example Google API call for Geocoding given here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/start returns back a JSON response and I want to easily catch this from VFP ideally without showing the web interface. Any ideas as to the best approach to initiate this data and capture the response? For the maps I have used the approach whereby VFP generates a HTML Page and embeds a map from a list of lat/long co-ordinates that are embedded into the page which works fine as I don't actually receive any data back, unlike the JSON response. I guess it is going to be a little like the web services that were the rage some time ago .... I stayed away from them. I would prefer 100% VFP but don't mind going the called C# program if I have to. Any ideas?
