include google maps in context document

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 824 bytes --]

Dear Sirs

I need to justify my displacements from my school to the various companies
where I have students in training. For this I must include in my report a
gloogle maps image with the path and the distance covered.

In the browse o found all the information that I need. For example, with an
url address like:

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=Seattle&destinations=San+Francisco&mode=driving&sensor=false

i get a json response, but not the google map image.

If I try an address like this "
https://www.google.pt/maps/dir/Chaves/Valpaços/" I found all information in
the browser, but I need to include it in my context document report.

Anybody know a simply way to make this work or this is a too hard task for
now.

Have a good night

Thanks in advance

Jorge

This is not really a ConTeXt-related question, but ConTeXt can include
any image you can feed to it, and potentially fetch images from URL on
the fly. So you first need to figure out how to get the image you
want.

See:
    https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/static-maps/intro

You first need your own API_KEY.

If you have problems with the interface, ask on stackexchange or
elsewhere. If you have problems with making as automatic workflow as
possible (once you know how to get your PNGs exactly), you may ask
here. But have the rest of the details ready.

ConTeXt supports "natively" drawing OpenStreet Maps, but I doubt it
would work in your case.

Thanks for your support.

Can you provide me a example (or a link) for use OpenStreet Maps in context?

Perhaps I can track my displacements with my phone and superimpose those
tracks with the OpenStreet Maps.

See the attachment (you need to extract the osm file before running context).

There is a LaTeX-Package called getmap. 
http://www.ctan.org/pkg/getmap
It's documentation contains also some remark about how to get
routing. Perhaps you find something useful in it.

Wow, that looks like something I need, thank you so much!
Why didn’t anyone publish this as a module or on the wiki?

Thank you.

This looks like something worth porting to ConTeXt :)
Even if implemented from scratch, the package could be used to borrow
the hacks. The syntax is pretty clean (and already relatively
"ConTeXt"-ish):

\getmap[file=berlin, mode=gm, language=de, scale=2, 8 xsize=400, ysize=600,...]

To Jorge: I would probably use LaTeX to fetch the maps and then
include the images into ConTeXt as the first workaround if you need
the maps in a ConTeXt document and need a fast solution.

Blame me :(

Hans wrote most of the code and told me to document it.

Thanks to all for your support.

For now I use Latex for making the images (thanks to Ulrike and  Mojca),
but my heart is on OpenStreet Maps + luatex + Metapost solution (thanks to
Hans et al). Perhaps soon anybody can play with it. For now it lacks a
labels level and it's to hard add particular gps tracks.

Thank you very much to all.

Jorge

All the heavy lifing is done by a lua-script; the sty file is simply 
calling the lua script with appropriate arguments. So, it should be 
relatively straightforward to create a wrapper around the script using 
t-filter.

Of course, ideally, since the code is written in lua, there is no need to 
call the external script. However, some refactoring needs to be done if 
the script is to used directly from the tex side (the parsing of arguments 
needs to be separated from actual call to the openmap api).
