I am in the midst of figuring out a good way to export Yahoo Map
directions/route (e.g. KML file) into a GIS to perform a buffer around
the route, find addresses from a database inside the buffer zone, and
redisplay the results in Yahoo Maps. Any suggestions on how I might
go about doing this, and software or databases that would be good for
such a job? Thanks!

Is there a way I can limit a map and all it's features top one
particular city?

I want to make a mashup that involves montreal only and user
interaction with the map, but if they get the whole map I have to make
checks and stuff to see if they acted within the bounds and frankly,
I'm lazy.

Bump.

I think yahoo map uses ajax and there is a specific key called app id, so am
not sure whether you will be able to export it.
Also , if you read t&c you may find things fuzzy about your idea.

Please verify t&c before putting effort in the same.

Sikunj

It is possible to restrict only you have to code accordingly.

Hi Eugene,

Good bump.

geo-commercial@... is the best address to submit this kind
of query -- please use this address for anything relating to licensing
and commercial usage.

Cheers,

I get this error when just searching for Richmond, VA.

When viewed on the Yahoo map, there is traffic data available for the
Richmond area and I can get traffic data for other locations as well
such as Newport News, VA.

Can someone assist with this issue?

Thanks,
Jason Emerick

Dear Members,

  I would appriciate guidance and notes for the following scenario -

  We are developing a winforms based application for a call center
client.We would need to find the distance between two places and for
that we need the Geocoding data. I understand that yahoo maps api can
be used for free for commercial purpose(please verify)
but for limited transcastions?
Please corect me if I am wrong.

What id I need more trips? Please advise.

Vinod

If you look at

http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/rest/V1/geocode.html

the limit is 5000 queries per IP address per day.  Since the geocoder
api uses XML, you need to set a proxy on your server to pass the
result on to your user.  Therefore, the IP address is that of your
server.  If each user wants one pair of addresses - that's 2500 users
per day; not super high.  Yahoo! pays the data supplier on a per
access basis, so we're effectively subsidizing use of this api.  It's
not there for users to simply crank through long lists of addresses.

You may be able to use our tools in a different way, that would raise
your limit significantly, that would follow the terms of use.  If you
use a Yahoo! map to present the two locations to your user by placing
markers on a map (either the AS3 flash api or the AJAX api).  When you
place a marker, you can specify it using the street address.

Example using AJAX api, addr1 and addr2 have user entered street
addresses. (http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/ajax/V3.8/index.html)

map.drawZoomAndCenter(addr1, 5);
var coord1 = map.getCenterLatLon(); // coord1 is a YGeoPoint object
var marker1 = new YMarker(coord1,'id1')
map.addOverlay(marker1);



map.drawZoomAndCenter(addr2, 5);
var coord2 = map.getCenterLatLon(); // coord2 is a YGeoPoint object
var marker2 = new YMarker(coord2,'id2')
map.addOverlay(marker2);

coord1 and coord2 have lat/lon pairs which could be used to calculate
distance (There's a "distance" method you can use).

This sort of interaction - the moving of the map - may make complete
sense for your application - it's not batch geocoding, which the API
is not intended to support.  A user types in an address, the map
shifts, it calculates the distance from the previous point.

This is limited to 50,000 interaction per IP address, and the IP
address is that of your end user - not your server.  That's almost
like making no limitation.

I hope this helps.

-Alan

I am looking to see if there is a way when setting your YahooMap type
to hybrid to also set the satellite image to previous dated images
from Navteq's db? I'm not sure how often the map data by navteq is
updated but would like to know if it is possible to display previous
shot satellite imagery.

I'm using the ActionScript 3 Yahhoo! Map api.

Thanks,
David

Is it possible to pass a DOM structure other than a simple text node
to openSmartWindow() YMarker method?   I notice you can pass a HTML
string with links etc. I would like to be able to pass some links with
attached event handlers -- Yes I know I can use the onClick="", but
would prefer to generate a DOM structure and pass that.

Thanks,
Joe.

PS: the yws-maps-ajax group looks like a ghost town: it's linked off
the official API docs page and doesn't inspire confidence. Suggest to
Yahoo people either moderate out the spam or delete it.

Yes you can pass a DOM structure . You have to first make DOM structure as a
string and then send it across to the event handler.

Regards,
Sikunj

What's the recommended way to serialize a DOM structure in Javascript?
Will this preserve handlers added with eg YUI Event utility, for example
"YAHOO.util.Event.addListener(myDomEl, myFunction);"

I'm using Mac OS X 10.5. No maps open automatically for me (Yahoo
Maps, Mapquest, Google Maps, etc.) Java is enabled. They open fine in
Safari, but I want to run Firefox. Very frustrating. Any ideas?

Hellos,

Wanted to know if Yahoo Maps supports Push Pins. That is, whether one
can indicate a location using a push pin on the map?

Also, other than the variety of REST web services for lots of features
provided by Yahoo Maps, is there any JavaScript API for the same? (As
in the case of Google Maps and Microsoft Virtual Earth)

Hi Members,

I am developing one winform based application for call center, where i

service geocoder.US which is limited for US region only. does yahoo
have same type of web service for Europe or rest of the world?

i have tried a lot to get yahoo map webservice for Europe or rest of

The Yahoo! geocoder api does support many countries around the world.  Just
use the "location=" parameter, followed by an encoded string with all of the
address components.

Yes, in the documentation, they're referred to as "markers", rather than
pushpins.

Yes it would preserve the event handlers as you can add them at runtime.

Hi,

I'm trying to use the example on this page:
http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/flash/jsGettingStarted.html#marker

..on this test page:

http://jamapages.com/static/maps/test.html

Now, this is just a copy of the example code on their site (with my
Yahoo developer ID)

It just won't show the marker :/

Has anyone got any examples of this working? I've been trying
literally for the last 4 hours to get it working :( I was using Google
Maps, but they don't allow you to use your API keys on sub-domains
(which sucks, as I had it all working exactly how I wanted it, but as
soon as I tried accessing it on sub-domains, it spewed up an error
about the API key not being valid).

Anyway, back to the current issue =)

I've tried almost all of those examples of that page - but still no
success.

Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

TIA

Andy

I hope this is the right place to ask this Q

The following url works OK.  It displays the "A" pointer at the center
of the map
http://maps.yahoo.com/index.php#mvt=h&lat=43.742691&lon=-84.62162&zoom=16&q1=%20\
Michigan

This url does not display the "A" pointer at the center of the map.
http://maps.yahoo.com/index.php#mvt=h&lat=46.752009&lon=-88.57475&zoom=16&q1=%20\
Michigan

No doubt I am missing something obvious - but what???

Also can someone please point to where I can read more about the input
parameters and syntax for formulating urls for Yahoo maps?

Thanks, Joseph

Here's one example URL. It's the same story, though, on every website
where a map is to be displayed.

http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?country=US&addtohistory=&address=19111+Prun\

Yahoo! Groups mangled the URL - I should know this happens to long URLs by
now; I always get rather frustrated when it trying to explain things to
people.  This works fine, and we do have support for many countries outside
of the US.



Here it is without the http:// in front of it.  Use "location=" rather than
the parsed parameters.

My main problem is that I cannot copy and paste from the text in
smartwindows. Since I think this is not something that can be fixed, I
am trying to have the text from the selected marker's smartwindow
print to a sidebar box.

I can print the text in the selected marker's smartwindow to a blank
page with the code below, but not in the sidebar box:

Could someone please help me figure out how to get the text to print
to the sidebar box?

Thanks,
Lela

Javascript:
...// capture click on marker to open smart window
				 YEvent.Capture(marker,EventsList.MouseClick, function() {
marker.openSmartWindow(swData) });

var info = YEvent.Capture(marker,EventsList.MouseClick, function() {
document.write(swData) });

				 return marker;


			 };

Code in INdex.php to print var info in the sidebar:
<div class="sidebaritem">
		 <script type="text/javascript">
		 document.write(info);
		 </script>
	 </div>
