I’m writing a Java Webapp based on the Google Maps Javascript 3.0 API. I’m displaying a map and a textarea. Now I want the user to be able to paste a Google Maps Link that he created on the Google Maps main page http://maps.google.com/ by clicking on the link icon.
E.g. Link
After the user pastes this URL into the textarea I want to display “my” map according to the url parameters. Is there a Google Maps Javascript API functionality for doing so or do I have to extract and set all the parameters “manually”?
You’re going to have to extract the parameters manually from these URLs. There is no published spec indicating the parameters you’ll see.
