google api geolocation in a sencha tab

[Roller89]

Hi guys!
now im defo very new to programming and wonder how can a google map with geolocation
into one of the tabs in the example "tabs"
I've tried this code but when I open my app in a web browser and choose this tab it says "Google Maps API is required"

{
             xtype: 'map',
				title: 'Map',
				getLocation: true
            },

can someone help me with this, I need to build an app that can locate different restaurangs which I'll manually add with pins and a small info popup into the map.

thanks guys this project rocks!

Have you included the Google API files?

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"></script>

No I haven't but I've added them now and it works like a charm thanks a lot man!
one more thing though I need to ask, how can I add multiple pins to the map? would be great to point out some
places!, where do I need to put the cordinates?


thanks once again!

var location = new google.maps.LatLng(latitude, longitude);

            var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
                map: this.map,
                title: 'Marker Title',
                position: location
            });

That will add a marker, so do some looping around that. Check out the Google Maps API (v3) for more examples and all the docs.

cheers man! I've looked at google "my maps" and I've added some spots with information, but I need to get "my map" into my app, that's my problem now. how do I do that? where do I get the source code for that?

thanks once again I know Im a newbie

I'm not sure i understand what you mean when you're talking about "my maps" - can you explain a bit more?. You should just be able to your Ext.Map object into a panel in your app.

sorry man for my english and lack of programming skills!
I want the pins to drop down when you start the application
it should be really simple and look something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piGIlkpwX54 is there any premade code from google
which allows me to just add the pins to the map?

thanks
