Accessing Google Maps from EPUB

[Frank Natoli]

Attempting to access Google Maps from EPUB document. Have XHTML
compliant file, based on Google Maps sample code, that has no problem
accessing Google Maps when invoked from IE 9.0 or Safari 5.1.2 but
goes dead when invoked from Apple iBook EPUB. Search of Google Code
for "EPUB" gives zero matches. Have seen examples of EPUBs that access
Google Maps, but those examples use subterfuge of first shelling out
to Safari, then connecting to a tinyurl.com page, then connecting to
Google Maps. Want to access Google Maps directly from EPUB without
shelling out to Safari and without using tinyurl.com or any other web
page or resource. Apple iBook appears to intercept and block any HTTP
URL that contains a question mark. Any experience or examples of EPUBs
that access Google Maps directly? Thanks.

Guessing you are not using the javascript API, your question might be
better directed at the Google Maps group

Barry: clicked on your link, clicked on Maps JavaScript API V3 link,
clicked Discussions, got back here, perfect circle.

Yes, I am using JavaScript API V3, which I thought would be implicit
by "based on Google Maps sample code". Sorry it wasn't.

Is anyone aware of any application that successfully accesses Google
Maps using JavaScript API V3 in an EPUB XHTML file?

Hi Frank
Have you tried using SVG

I made a demo a few months ago of google map in SVG
