Last week I blogged over at PC Pro on how to display a location marker on a Google Map. This assumes that you either enter a standard address and/or postcode/zipcode and relies on Google’s Geocoder to perform the transformation from the entered details into a latitude and longitude value.
All good. But I received one comment on my PC Pro article asking about OS (Ordnance Survey) Grid References and displaying them on a Google Map.
After a bit of an enforced break (due to being quite busy!), my latest blog post is now up on PC Pro where I explain how to display a location marker on a Google Map.
As usual there are some examples, one simple one and another more complex one which allows you to enter an address which it will display on a Google map.
Comments here or there etc. etc.
I’ve just written a simple post over at HTML5 Laboratory all about the HTML5 drag and drop API.
It’s by no means a complete explanation of the contents of this API, but it does give a sample of what can be done with this useful new feature that’s part of HTML5.
