Hi,

Is it possible to get google maps into flash without using a browser, so in the stand alone player.

Here is an example [http://nycsubway.eyebeamresearch.org/](http://nycsubway.eyebeamresearch.org/) but I think it uses code that in the browser as well, so this wouldn’t run in a stand alone player?

Thanks

Dev

it appears you need their API, why not apply for it?

[http://www.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html](http://www.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html)

BUT chances are its loading a lot off their server to get the street info…
