No more Google Maps support for Internet Explorer 11

Hi guys,
if you use Google Maps within the WebGadget(), it will not work anymore. Unfortunately Google has deleted all older versions.
All version information before v3.50 will ignored.
So, what can be done?
Does anyone know an archive of Google Maps javascripts?
Is there an easy way (userfriendly) to switch the WebGadget to Edge?
I only know the way via the edge development version. But that is difficult for customers.
I have also seen a Chromium framework, but it is over 100MB in size. Are these all the current possibilities?

Embedded Google Maps still work with the PureBasic WebGadget. I just tested my Windows examples and they're working fine.
TEST: Compiled executables can be downloaded from my website; see
FREE STUFF >
Geolocation: Google Maps.

Yes but its pure luck
Google removes sources from server slow.
They ALWAYS. Have more time than the one anmounced in all products they withdraw.
So its a matter if days/weeks to stop working
And solutions based in chromium webgadgets (like your own)
Should be used
Native solutions like the ones mention need little work to afapt from old WebGadget() .... Which is a good think..

@JHPJHP : Unfortunately, the map view no longer works.
Does anyone have a local copy of this javascript:
https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?v=3.17&sensor=false ?
Here you can see the script error:
Code: Select all
Url.s = "https://www.dbsthumb.de/livemap/index2.html"
Procedure NavigationCallback(Gadget, Url$) ; nur auf Windows!
If Url$= "https://www.purebasic.com/news.php"
MessageRequester("", "No news today!")
ProcedureReturn #False
Else
ProcedureReturn #True
EndIf
EndProcedure
If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 600, 300, "WebGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
WebGadget(0, 10, 10, 580, 280, Url)
SetGadgetAttribute(0, #PB_Web_NavigationCallback, @NavigationCallback())
Repeat
Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

No, Pure-Programming
but I agree with you, it won't last forever.
Going forward a better option is the
Chromium WebGadget.
Code: Select all
Enumeration
#MainWindow
#Cr_WebGadget
EndEnumeration
IncludeFile "includes\sources.pbi"
WindowWidth = 960 : WindowHeight = 548
nFlags = #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered
If OpenWindow(#MainWindow, 0, 0, WindowWidth, WindowHeight, "Chromium WebGadget", nFlags)
Cr_WebGadget(#Cr_WebGadget, 0, 0, WindowWidth, WindowHeight, #Cr_WebGadget_BorderLess)
crwg_data.CrWG_DATA
crwg_data\GadgetNumber = #Cr_WebGadget
crwg_data\SourceURL = "https://www.dbsthumb.de/livemap/index2.html"
Cr_WebGadget_Init(crwg_data)
Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf
--------------------------------
Hi dige,
See
Geolocation: Google Maps; the solution has been available for years, I guess it just depends on what your time is worth.

Thank you for this good solution with the latest ie11 emulation and the user agent for the session
Too bad there is no RegSetValueSessionEx
Hoping this solution lasts long enough to see a Chromium or WebView2 Gadget natively.
