Google Maps lets loose a Flash-y API
Google has released a Google Maps application program interface that enables developers to use the mapping software in applications that use Adobe Systems' Flash technology.
"We've designed it so that Flash graphics can be used for each tile layer, marker, and info window," a n announcement by Google Maps engineer Mike Jones read, "opening up possibilities like dynamic shading, shadowing, animation, and video."
Earlier this week, Google Maps added a feature to let users see what photos, videos, and user-created maps have been associated with various places around the world.
