Just very short heads up for AIR desktop Developers, that you're google maps will stop working altogether tomorrow sometime, due to the fact the desktop browser is a webkit browser from 2010.


You can add a vote to a request from 2013 if you would like to.

You'll likely get an error similar to this:

Error: The Google Maps JavaScript API does not support this browser.

at https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.35&key={XXX} : 109 drawmap at https://<XXX>/API/code/vic1/vmlib-1.0.0.js : 473

this API will keep working
Overview  |  Maps Static API  |  Google Developers

or just use an ANE

Yeah, that's okay.  Static Maps is hughly different than the current 3.36 interactive. 

I wrote a slim version of our map using Bing Static maps,  BING has an API that gives you the position of the icons relative to the map you request, so one can easily overlay a 'div' hot spot to have interactivity with the image.

It's just like Bing Maps 2012 !  ;-)

Do they make ANE's for desktop apps, or is that only for mobile applications?  Google Maps is a huge part of our platform, this could become a real problem if you are correct.
