To answer your first question, I believe the Google Maps API already contains the functionality you are looking for.
If I understand correctly you'd like to be able to add and position images on a map, and add comments to the images on the map? You may want to take a deeper look into the Google Maps API before you attempt to reproduce any work that may have already been done by Google for you. Specifically look for info about Map Overlays, Click Handling, Event Handlers, and Info Windows. http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/ To answer your revised question, yes you can use scriptaculous to position images using drag and drop. However making this interact with Google Maps will likely be non-trivial. If you do not want to use Google Maps at all and would like to develop your own Google Maps like interface, then the link provided earlier about Ajaxian Maps is an amazing resource. (Gotta love those Pragmatic Programmers) Cheers. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2006 3:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Rails-spinoffs] Make application like google maps but moooore simple Hi, thank you for these information. in the previous message I have not given many information. I wanted to ask if in reference to scriptaculous/prototype there is something in order to create a page where to posizionare some the images (drag&drop) and then to add of the descriptions the same ones. These information (position of the images and descriptions) I would save in a database.
