Hi,

I seems that it's possible to display a Google Map in an Java
application :

https://developers.google.com/maps/faq#tos_nonweb


Please could you tell me how to do, What API to use. Do you have an
documentation...


I want to display a Google Map in something like a JPanel and be able
to zoom ...

Thanks

I'd suggest embedding a WebKit in your Java app. Check out these Stack Overflow Q&A threads:

Thank you for your answer.

I thank to this solution.

For me it's not a problem to embedded a Web brower, but my last question is : Do I need I a key to be able to use the Google Map APi or not ?

Thanks

Keys are optional, but we strongly recommend using them - particularly if you're using it in a Java application, since there is no publicly accessible URL that will be sent via Referer headers.

By using a key you get statistics about usage, and Google will be able to contact you if there are any problems with your application.

Thanks
