I’m looking for a Delphi component that enables the user to pick and modify lat/lon coordinates, preferably in a user-friendly way (that is, not by entering two numbers).

Ideally, the component would work as follows:

  • It has fields latitude and longitude that can be edited by the user.
  • Given coordinates, it displays a map or satellite picture with a marker.
  • It can take an address (street, number, zip-code and country) and make a guess for the coordinates
  • It would be nice if a user can drag the marker to adjust the coordinates

Does anybody know if such a component exists? Open-source solutions are preferred. If not, can anybody get me started on how to build such a component?

    Try using the Google Static Maps API V2, If you want a Delphi sample to use this API try this article Using Google maps (Static Maps) without TWebBrowser and also check the license agreement (because in the time when I wrote this article the license agreement was different).

    …If a Static Maps API image is used outside of a web-based application
    (such as a browser) then a link must be included pointing to the
    displayed location in a web browser or native Google Maps application
