Can I use Google or Naver maps from the map control or dashboard map in Winform?

created 6 years ago

Hello

Can I use a Google or Naver map in a dashboard mapitem in Winform?

If not, can it be used in MapControl?

If you need a license to use Google Maps or Naver Maps in your dashboard or map control, we will purchase that license.

Provide a sample example assuming you own a license.

Hi,

According to Google Maps' terms of service, the tile access is prohibited (see a similar issue described in the WinForms - Google Maps integration ticket). I am afraid there is no capability to integrate the Google Maps provider into our MapControl.

If you have already discussed this topic with the Google Maps support team, please clarify which tile servers are accessible under your license. This way, we can discuss whether it is possible to modify the How to load image tiles from another source by creating custom data provider example using the required tile URL syntax (approved by Google).

As for the Naver Maps integration, it seems that tile images are accessible using the public API (see http://docs.ncloud.com/en/naveropenapi_v3/maps/overview.html). Please refer to the How to load image tiles from another source by creating custom data provider example that illustrates how to implement a custom image tile provider (see the GetTileByZoomLevel method in the custom provider class).
