Interactive Maps

Interactive Maps is a SOLoist sample application that fully embeds Google Maps that interact with the enclosing application by exhanging geo-coordinates. This example demonstrates how complex external components can be integrated with SOLoist code in order to interchange the data and keep them in sync.

The user can browse the map. By selecting an object of House in the suggest box, the map view will be positioned on the location based on the coordinates stored in the object's coordinates attribute.

When the marker is unlocked by unchecking the checkbox, and a different location is selected in the map, all the data from Google Maps will be automatically saved to the selected object's attributes.

The user can also type in an address in the text input field, when Google Maps provides the coordinates.

This way, the geo-coordinates from Google Maps and the values of attributes from SOLoist objects are kept in sync.
