Folks,

I am interested in figuring out how I can integrate the Google Map V3 API features into a custom WinForm application. I have come across a codeplex project (GMap.NET), I trying to understand what are my options and limitations. I know I can add a "web control" in WinForm, but will that allow access to all the java script functions?

I suggest you to use GMap.NET. I've tried web control in my mobile
application and not all javascript worked. I suppose it will be the
same in desktop application. In GMap.NET there are even things like
marker clusterer and you can use google, openstreet layers, bing or
yahoo if you want. If you used web control, it would be pretty hard to
control map with buttons in your application.

I'm not familiar with the .NET framework, but in general, we recommend web views. Could you find a WebKit-based web view?

Neither solution is directly supported, but use of GMap.NET violates the Terms of Service.

Using a web view may not be covered by our "supported browsers" but in all likelihood will work, and allows you to be compliant with the Terms of Service.

Cheers
Chris
