Google Mashup using C ++

Question

Is it possible, or desirable, to try to create a mashup on Google Maps using C ++? I would need to display 150 places around the county, and when people click on the pusher, a picture of the location should appear and, possibly, a brief description of the landscape.

C ++ is the only language I know, as that is all I have learned so far in school. This is not homework, but rather what I thought I could do for work and for pleasure.

Answer 1

This is certainly possible (for example, as a standalone GUI application). But, is it appropriate? I would not say so if you do not plan to do this as a training project.

Answer 5

I wrote a flash app some time ago to use Google tile servers. It really is not that difficult.

Cards are recursively subdivided into 2x2 squares, and a formula can be obtained.
