Supercontrol map problem Google maps

[Td203]

Google has change their maps app and now I'm getting a script error from the Supercontrol.

The old expression was written:
"http://maps.google.com/maps?q="+Address-" "+city-" "+state-" "+zip-" "

Does anyone know how to write the new expression or how to get the Supercontol to work with their current scripting..?

The new url https://www.google.com/maps/preview#!data=

The are now using a preview with longitude and latitude
https://www.google.com/maps/preview#...83!3d41.575852

How do we use the a new app in a super control? My database does have the longitude and latitude but I just want to pass the address into Google maps without getting error.

Not able to properly zoom on undefined or null reference.

It's broke at the Alpha end and they are not going to fix it.
This has been reported and that was the official answer.
Works if you use MS MAPS option but not as well.

Thanks Ted,

Did they fix in in version 12 ? I would roll out version 12 if this is a solution but I can't sell it if Alpha has not resolved it.

I believe that they did fix it in V12 Todd.
Beware the other problems caused by IE11 in V12 though if you are planning to use Grids anywhere.

Todd,

I just used this supercontrol for the first time and it works using the exact expression you mentioned.

I'm running Win7, so I have to try it out on Win8. Maybe that's the problem?

I have used this before and posted before. Cut and paste into IW and see it work. Then fit it into your situation, Maybe this might help.
