Breakdown

In the Initial state we will extend the Demo.demo.Customers table with some new fields (Longitude and Latitude). Then we will use Yahoo GeoCode API to find Longitude, Latitude values for the customers addresses and store the values in the database. The data_xml.vsp page generates XML from that table similar to the one described in Google Maps API Documentation. We have extend it a little bit to have information for the Customer Name and Address. Click on the 'googlemaps.vsp' Run link to see the generated Google Map. You can click on the markers to view additional information.
