In the 4.1 Admin Guide (page 129), there's a picture of a feature description that shows a Google map image of the parcel along with attribute information.  Has anyone ever had a feature description that included Google maps and if so how did you do it?

  FYI, that example is a violation of Google's Terms of Use which does not allow the use of Google map tiles with the Google API.

  Code to generate the tile call (e.g. http://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=y&x=1325&y=3143&z=13) is located at https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/map-coordinates

  I don't do it any more because my users did not like the space that it took up, but I put a code sample in the Silverlight section of the Code Gallery a while back.

  Hi Everyone,

  While it is possible to integrate Geocortex viewers with Google Maps, Google Street View, and Google's Maps API to retreive map images, Tom is correct that in some circumstances doing so may be in violation of (https://developers.google.com/maps/terms) Google Maps Terms of Service .

  Please consult these terms before configuring your applications to integrate with Google Maps or Google Maps API.

  Regards,

  Drew.
