Yesterday, there was an announcement about new supporting library for Google Maps JS API v3, which is Geometry Library.
For almost a year, I have been looking for switching from V2 to v3 and there is one missing point for enterprise level which is geometry support. With geometry support, ExtMap written in v2 will be completely convertible to v3.
The library will not be added by default, you should add some parameters to script loading url (libraries=geometry). This is also a good option to keep file size less for normal users.
This announcement also a good clue for more libraries will come to Google Maps API in 2011.
Wish you a year with more geo news 🙂
This post is related to presentations and workshops that I gave until now. All of them is related to Geo issues such as Google Maps API, Google App Engine, ArcGIS Server and its APIs, Arc2Earth and Microsoft Virtual Earth (aka Bing Maps).

I have been working on ExtMap (previously known as Summit ExtMap) versions and its website. Today I ‘m proud of announcing the three versions of ExtMap and its website. As it is stated, I changed the name of project from Summit ExtMap to ExtMap and the versions are as follows:
- ExtMap JS (ExtJS, Google Maps API and ArcGIS JavaScript Extension for the Google Maps API)
- ExtMap REST (ExtJS, Google Maps API and ArcGIS Server REST API)
- ExtMap OL (ExtJS and OpenLayers)
JS ve REST versions are mostly the same as Summit ExtMap, but OL version has some missing features which will be done soon. The website of ExtMap is also available as

Please do not hesitate to ask any questions or suggestions related to ExtMap.
