Gregor Wolf started the great SDN community project Community Project ZGEOCODE. Gregor shows how you can geocode the addresses of your Business Partners using the Nominatim service.
In this blog I take the next step and release a WebDynpro ABAP application that displays Business Partners and a map that is showing the location. The application uses Openstreetmap and the Flex Framework Openscales.
More about this you can read in these blogs:
WebDynpro ABAP Flash Islands with OpenStreetMap
WebDynpro ABAP Flash Islands with OpenStreetMap - Part 2
Here you get an impression how the new application looks:
In the first step you can select the Business Partners. In the moment you click in the result list, the map will appear. The place of your Business Partner is marked.
There is lot of space for enhancement in this application. I invite all of you to participate and improve this application.
Before you copy this application on your system, you have to install / import Community Project ZGEOCODE. The first reason is, that I use some methods of this project. The second reason is, that this application makes only sense, if your Business Partner addresses are geocodes.
After that you can download and import this application by this Nugget ZGC_BP_OSM.nugg. Furthermore you need this Flash application OSMAP.swf. If you want to change the Flash application, here you can download the whole Project OSMAP-zip.
