show case, iwebkit + Gmaps V3 + HTML5 offline cache and client database

[Cheng Chi]

Hi, guys

This is a web app for mashup Australia contest.

I use Google Maps API v3 and lots of HTML5 features, include offline
cache, client database and of course geolocation.

It supports Safari Mobile(iPhone, with HTML5) and Chrome Lite(Android,
with Gears). You may also browser it on Safari 4 or Google Chrome on
desktops.

URL:
http://victernet.com/

The app will shows public Internet spots around you, and you can also
set search options like "printers" "opening" "wheelchair access".
After you select a spot, you may click "Route" to get the directions.
(Now only works in Victoria, Australia.)

Cheers,
Chi

PS.
If you want to use HTML5 offline with google maps api v3, you need to
add these urls below
NETWORK section in manifest file.

http://mt1.google.com/

I personally don't like using Google Maps API on iPhone Web Apps, it is tooo heavy to rum smoothly on mobile Safari.

 

I made a map-based app too, it uses Google Static Map API, calucates pin offset and creates clickable events instead of using Google's APIs. It is much much faster, but you can't zoom it because it is static... you can take a look at it: http://i.sh2sg.com/roadmate.html, try to search for something and see how it looks like.

That is a very cool web app man! I can immediately see other ways to utilize gmaps this way....great job.

Hi guys,

Seems Google is going to use HTML5 cache ability

My French is not that good :) But you can use offline capabilities in iui, too. There is a patch in the issue tracker.

Cheers
