Annoucing Phoogle Maps
Posted by justinjohnson on Jul 10th, 2005
Google Maps APIs are great, but you need to have longitude/latitude data of locations that you want to display. That’s the problem for me and for many others. Well in order to fix that I created what I call Phoogle Maps.
Phoogle (pronounced like foogle) Maps is a PHP class that uses the nusoap libraries to connect to the geocoder.us service to create an array that can be passed to the Google Maps API. What does this mean? It’s a PHP script that can map whatever address you pass it. The address can be from a database or hardcoded.
