Open source Flex maps components
Hi there guys.
I was busy theses days working on maps for Flex, and turns out that we had
left so less, Google,yahoo drops support.
And I guess is time to create our very own component and integrate in the
current SDK, spliting overall problems on platform support.
I'd like to introduce Flex-Maps https://github.com/igorcosta/flex-maps
It's based on ModestMaps engine and includes basic functionality found in
Goole Maps like, Markers, Collections, InfoWindow.
So, the idea behind is to fullfill the gap left by major vendors and help
developers using current vendors out there with their own maps.
Right now the components includes the following services:
- Openstreet maps
- Nokia Here maps
- Microsoft Bing Maps
- Yahoo Maps
I'm planing to include in the flex SDK, but has a lot to be done before I
submit.
>From now I just need some feedback.
Best Regards

Re: Open source Flex maps components
Posted by Igor Costa <ig...@gmail.com>.
@Joao.
Flex component is based on Apache License, the Modest Map engine is the
base for the component but the idea in the component and most of them will
be my own, Since I'm comitter of SDK it's a feature pending approval by
community. I still pending approval by the guys at modest to approve
donation of classes at core engine.
The only concern that I really care about is the license of Maps vendors,
Openstreet just need to show the copyrights notice, others like Google,
Nokia Here, Bing, needs a api_key which will be implemented in the
component.
@Frederick @Marcus, Openscales is a great open-source map project, but
doesn't fit on Flex SDK due to other license aproach
http://openscales.org/license/index.html and some ideas in their current
project can be implemented in our current one.
Foundation is make a very UI consistence component for Maps rather than
depending on vendors sdks.
But to make it clear, It's a very first draft that needs more
implementation and rights of use for tile base images, From what I've read
in their Agreements license we can start using it, we're just consuming
tile images 256px png files from their API services. But most requires the
copyright notices from their images, the only one that needs license
mention is openstreet. Major licenses approaches from API request token,
keys.

Hi Igor,
Nice! The questions is, are we allowed to build such a component and use the content from Google, Microsoft, etc.?
A working maps component (especially with the good Google content quality) would be a great addition to the SDK.

Igor,
I know you started working on this a while ago. Do you remember why this
got dropped? Any chance you can continue working on the donation again
with the Modest Maps folks?

Igor I think it's a requirement that the guys behind Modest Maps need to
fill all the paperwork required for donation like any other donation.

Om
As I mentioned in first email, before I had the privilege to commit the
code, I had first auth from Modest Map guys and feedback from others
committers of Flex project and overall users.
That's why I didn't commit in first sentence.

Btw, shouldn't the greenshock dependency be removed before donation? I
don't think they have a compatible license.

Because similarly, any other committer could veto it.
I did find a few vote threads in other projects mail archives, but, as you
know, we never took any votes on the Adobe donations.
I couldn't find any official process document requiring votes, but I thought
I would ask.

Igor is a committer/PMC member. Why cant he just commit the code into the
repo? Just curious to know why you think this needs a vote.

Igor,
First I need to check with our former mentors as to whether we need any sort
of vote as to whether to accept this donation.
Then, we should work with the Modest Map folks by having them sign up for
this mailing list.

its technically easy to scrape map tiles from any provider but legally not
feasible. if i recall correctly, modest map used to scrape google tiles at one
time until google forced them to stop. in terms of spatial data coverage &
quality (which are all that really count), losing google from the flash/flex
community was a massive blow.
you missed ESRI which doesn't have as much public spatial data as google but is
way more sporting w/what it does have than ms--ESRI gives you 50 million
transaction per year (defined the same way as ms).
http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services
plus ESRI is old school GIS, so you get "free" access to quite a few analytical
