Easy Maps Apps in Java and Python

Integrating Google Maps API services into applications provides a great set of location based services for powerful functionality. If you write server side applications in Java or Python, accessing these APIs requires some way to talk to the Google Maps server REST APIs that provide the interfaces.

Google have built an open-source set of client libraries that take care of all the nitty-gritty detail of connecting, and managing Maps API services for both Java and Python.

Alex Danilo introduces these libraries, and what they do - allowing Java and Python server side application developers to save time integrating Maps API services into their applications.

These libraries streamline and simplify the work required to get an application up and running by taking care of things like retry for dropped connections, rate limiting to make sure applications manage their quota, and more.

Documentation for the client libraries is on the Google Developers Site here, and the open source project code is on github here.

If you develop in Java or Python, you should definitely take a look.

*Save Time with Easy Maps API Integration from Java and Python*

Are you a server side application developer that wants to use the Google Maps API services from either Java or Python? We have you covered.

We’ve launched a set of client side libraries for both languages that simplify and streamline integration to save you time in development. Check out the introduction video on what features they provide and which APIs they support right now. Bonus is that they’re open source too, so you can change them any way you like!

Sounds great! I am experimenting with the Python library for a few weeks and enjoying it! Thanks!

O dang this is pretty cool, and using two of my favorite languages :D

How can I include the libreries in my java project using eclipse?

[alexeaton]

Can I ask, is it possible to utilise the google map api and any other features I may find useful to, in a non commercial way, allow a user to choose a location and then manipulate the static image of that image to see what the pixel values are, I'm doing a university project and I'm unsure if this part is possible, thank you for any help.

Even though, there are bunch of Packages available for Dart, but we would like to use Official Package from Google for Dart Language

*Nice. I would like to use it for my python project!
