I'll try to make this short. I have built an autonomous vehicle at my
University and would like to incorporate Google Maps into the source.
Java was the first language I learned, I switched to C++ for this
project. The whole thing is in C++, Ubuntu 9.10 OS. Their are
multiple processes and some processes are multi-threaded, all linked
using shared memory. The Path Planner has the list of waypoints
(longitude/latitude positions) that the vehicle follows as well as all
vehicle orientation and position information. So I tinkered with the
Google Maps API and got a webpage to come up in firefox and I can
click and add markers, etc. What I would like to happen is my C++
code launch the Google Map script to open the firefox page. Then have
the array of waypoints in my c++ code loaded onto this map. Add also
have the ability to add or move waypoints on the google map and these
points would be updated in the c++ code. I attempted at loading this
script into a string and running it in the code and got a list of
errors. Being that yesterday was my first "dive" into JavaScript, I
honestly have very little idea how to do this. Is v8 even the right
approach for me? Any advice or code would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
