Google maps

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Stanisław Definitely! Hence we did not have them at first and they cannot be selected as default.

We did expect people to miss them so I already had some things prepared for the request

Hopefully it won't ruin the entire business plan! I stopped using Tyre when I had to enter my own Google key to use Maps. Whether we like it or not, Google has the most detailed POI database. I could live without it, as now we can paste the GPS coordinates but many peapole could be disappointed. Thank you!

Had al zon vermoeden dat het bepaalde kosten met zich mee brengt als men bepaalde kaartsijlen toevoegd in een product, google wil natuurlijk ook geld zien voor gebruik van zijn kaarten.
Hoe hoog de kosten zijn, is afhankelijk van bepaalde uitvoeringen. ben niet zo in die wereld hoe het zit bedrijfsmatig.
Of je vraagt een kleine bijdrage per jaar voor de gene die graag de google kaartstijl? wil nemen als het extra kosten met zich mee brengt. als optie?
Of dat een goed idee is laat ik in het midden.

@Alexandre-Marcel Google maps is mostly used as a layer to check the route and where to find atm's, shops, tantstations, banks etc. I think google maps is not used as planning the route as navigation engine.

@Ed-Bos-0, no definitely not, only the map-overlay is used, not the routing engine.

@MotoCon What when I use the here Engine, but using e.g Google Maps as overlay, and the via and shaping points are placed according Google maps streets.

Will the navigation work perfectly with the app, or will I need to convert it to Here Maps after planning?

Hi, as a Google user, you can get an API key to get charged for paid Google Maps services via your own account.
This has been available for Tyre to Travel for quite some time. With the free allowance, you never actually reached the point where charges applied. So you paiy nothing.
I’d like to see something similar for MRA, so that the links on the Google Map can be clicked on just as they are in Google Maps itself, and you can access the relevant information.

@Jörgen, That's impossible since MRA is a webservice. They would need the be the one being licensed because they serve the data to you. In a standalone software program that's possible, but who wants to draw their clients into the Google API maze...

An overlay is just an overlay. It's the navigation Engine that defines the "real" roads, hence the differences between them. So no, when you are already using the HERE navigation engine, there is nothing to convert to HERE anymore and it will work just fine for Navigation.

Ok, I didn't know this. I thought you could do that online as well.
By the way, I’ve got an API key for Tyre and it wasn’t that complicated.
But never mind.
