I'm a member in a team that maintains a quite big inhouse Delphi application. Now we have started to look at mapsupport. And we feel that Googlemap seems to be the best value for the money compared to some map components. The current solution (that is really bad) works by starting Internet Explorer from ShellExecute, load some coordinates in the Googlemap URL. Then Google map display the best direction to drive through the coordinates.
It works, but it can be slow if the the amount of coordinates is higher than say 10. Besides that there seems to big memleaks in IE...
Another option is to use TWebBrowser component instead and load a Googlemap html-file to show the same thing. Yes I know Googlemaps license policy and we are prepared to pay Google the price when the solution is used in reality.
Right now I have registed a API-key for my own site just for test. I also found that it works to load a local html-file. From Javascript I can call GUnload to eliminate the memleaks according Googlemap documentation. As the API-key is bound to a domain or a local-file I guess I have to save a javascriptfile with coordinates and then load it in TWebBrowser for every call to the map. I found this clumsy, but I see no other way... ?
Is there other options to use Googlemaps? I don't know other html-components for Delphi than TWebBrowser due to bad performance and memorymanagement. I would like to use a Mozilla component but it seems to be only for C++.
Comments and advice about this ?
I've wrapped the Google Maps API some time ago. It's a component that contains a TWebBrowser that loads a local html file that contains some javascript helper functions and sets up a basic Google maps page. The HTML file is embedded into the exe as a resource for easy deployment.
It can use some work, but it has done some nice jobs for me already. It expands on the idea that was posed here: http://www.stevetrefethen.com/blog/UsingGoogleMapsFromVCLSampleApplication.aspx
I've put a demo executable and sourcecode online here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~niff/GoogleMaps.zip
On this screenshot I've switched to the Google Earth view:
Here are a few examples of how you can use it:
Center the map to some shithole in the Netherlands, with nicely rounded coordinates:
GoogleMaps1.SetCenter(52,5,True);
Load a KML or KMZ file:
GeoXML := TGGeoXML.Create('http://mywebsite.com/mykml.kmz'); GeoXML.GoogleMaps := GoogleMaps1; GoogleMaps1.AddOverlay( GeoXML );
Switch to the embedded version of Google Earth, for fast and smooth 3d action:
GoogleMaps1.MapType := MT_SATELLITE_3D;
Keep a list of overlays, and manage it via Delphi structures:
GoogleMaps1.Overlays[2].hide; // hide overlay 2 GoogleMaps1.RemoveOverlayByIndex(3); // delete overlay 3
It lets you create polygons using fast Delphi arrays and then plot that in GMaps;
MyPolygon := TGPolygon.Create(MyPointArray); MyPolygon.Color := clBlue; MyPolygon.Name := 'Awesome Polygon 1'; GoogleMaps1.AddPolygon( MyPolygon );
It doesn't intend to wrap the full API; it's just to make life easier when dealing with Google maps. The unit DouglasPeuckers is not really needed. It's used to simplify a polygon when you run out of resources.
Good luck, and let me know if you've created something useful with it.

{ The aim of this unit is to wrap the Google Maps API in such a way that }
{ users don't need to know that map operations end up being rendered by }
{ a browser component and JavaScript. }
{ }
{ JavaScript classes have a Delphi counterpart, and each Delphi class }
{ takes care of proper JavaScript rendering and execution. }
{ }
{ For many things, like constructing detailed polygons, this provides a }
{ major performance boost and adds compile-time type checking. }
{ }
{ A big limitation so far is that I didn't find a way to directly pass }
{ complex types from and to the JavaScript engine in IE via COM, so for }
{ now, everything needs to be (de)serialized to and from strings. :( }

If you're looking to get directions and you're prepared to write some javascript, you can use GDirections, which is part of the GoogleMaps API.
I have an example Delphi program at Google Maps in a TWebBrowser from Delphi: Directions which you might find helpful. (Zip of project).
