I want to to use the InForm-Navigation in a Report by klicking on a custom map.
I.e. I want to create a map that looks like a toy car. If I klick on the dor, I want to navigate to an other Report.
Is it possible to build such a custom map with custom poligons?
Is there a usefull tutorial?
I don"t really know about this but I found that page, may be It could help you : Drawing a logo or diagram using SQL spatial data
Looks like I found the answer:

I access a webpage (eg "http://signal.eu.org/osm/#locs=40.853293,14.244461;41.312371,16.288605"), which shows a map control with details of a rail route. On that webpage there exists the map as a control. If I examine the map control using standard Edge functionality, I can see a series of coordinates. I would like to extract these coordinates for use in my VB.Net program. I can handle the desktop part, but the Webpage thing is all new to me. I have tried using a WebClient and downloading as a string, or using a WebBrowser and examining that object, but all I see is the main web page details and not the map control.
Any help would be really appreciated as I have just spent a few hours with google and I feel like I'm not really asking the right question.
If I understand correctly you want the direction of the map. So you want the step by step direction of how to go from "Via Matteo Renato Imbriani, Quartieri Spagnoli, Municipalità 2, Napels, Napoli, Campania, 80136, Italië" to "strada locale, Barletta, Barletta-Andria-Trani, Apulië, 76121, Italië"?
If this is the case, google provides an API exactly for that (Google for "Google direction API").
I'm trying to integrate my own markers as pointers on my map. The defaults of circle, rectangle diamond etc... are not what I need and I'm looking for arrow symbols instead. Ideally the popular Microsoft wingdings arrows. I'm surprised simple arrows are not on the default list, I'd thought there would be many a need to indicate a rise or fall with any numeric data on a map.
I would like to solve this with an expression to force an arrow icon as a marker, can this be done by using it's character code etc..? I'm using SSDT to design the report.
Alternatively I'll just have to do this in paint and upload via the image import.
Food For Thought
I see they've done a great job in making the map process easy to set up, but when it comes to customisation from the norm it is extremely difficult.
TechNet: Understanding Marker type Rules:

As you can see from the link (Which is one example as not to swarm this post with links) Microsoft make no mention of image upload or Expression input for maps. This I find is one example, the maps are great, but I feel it's difficult to get documented resources to further customise my report.
You'll need to use an image of an arrow for your custom marker, and you will still be able to change other attributes of it (size, transparency, etc).
If you use a custom image marker, you may run into problems where Visual Studio fails to render the map in design mode from time to time - it's incredibly annoying, so I find it best to drop in the custom images as the very last thing I do when building a map (just use a circle marker or something in the interim).
So I have a fusion table and I can map it out. However, I'd like to know how to make it so that if I click on a specific page, the map will just show that specific place.
To make it clearer, it's similar to what Yelp is doing.
So if I search a local business, and I see the page, Yelp have that business on Google Map, zoomed in.
Another example: http://alamatku.com/direktori/united-parcel-service-inc-ups) - Here you can see that the map is specifically located for UPS.
I'd like to do something like this but I can't find a way. Anybody can help me perhaps? =D
Thank you so much in advance!
Here is an excelent example of querying the table with javascript. http://geochalkboard.wordpress.com/2011/05/19/adding-a-fusion-table-to-google-maps/
Fusion table has an SQL API which allows you to 'select' or 'query' table and the result of which you can use with google maps api. Go to this link for more details :
Google Fusion Tables API
While editing the table under Visualize > Map, click the 'options' link beside 'Showing all rows'.
Then create a filter for the row you want to find, 'id = 1234' for example. Click apply. This should filter the demo map to just one element.
Now, click the 'Get embeddable link' link. That should provide you with an embeddable code that you can edit. Should look something like this (note that I've masked my table id to #######):
<iframe width="500" height="300" scrolling="no" src="https://www.google.com/fusiontables/embedviz?viz=MAP&q=select+col4+from+#######+where+col0+%3D+'1234'&h=false&lat=42.90790860608937&lng=-78.84992963798828&z=7&t=1&l=col4"></iframe>
The important part for you is to find the filter condition:
where+col0+%3D+'1234'
This is what you want to edit when generating a link for different places. For instance in my case I would change '1234' to whatever id I've stored for my place.
Hopefully this steers you in the right direction. If you're using the javascript Google Maps API then there are other ways to do this.
I'm using the Google Maps generator to create a few maps for a client. The maps embeded on the site are a bit small (255x176), so map real state is crucial. I've already removed the balloon, but can't find a way to remove the "Earth" view button from it (all newly generated maps come with it now, 4 views in total).
The annoying part is that the "Earth" view requires a Google Earth plugin to be used anyway, something the client could live without - me too.
Any advices there? Feedback will be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Wallace
You may customize the map controls using the MAPS API.
Visit http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/controls.html#DefaultUI
Look for MapTypeControlOptions and pass appropriate map type you want to show.
Refer http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html#MapTypeControlOptions
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html#MapTypeId
If using the default UI, you would get only the map types in G_DEFAULT_MAP_TYPES, which does not include the Earth map type (G_SATELLITE_3D_MAP).
This means your generator is adding this map type explicitly. So you should be able to simply look for G_SATELLITE_3D_MAP in the javascript you get from the generator, and remove references to it.
If you are still having troubles, can you provide a link to the map generator you are using?
I have a map of several counties I need to turn into a county select menu (i.e clicking Leicestershire will select Leicestershire.
I am using a php built system that this map will need to return the appropriate value to. I am thinking this will be a get in the url, checked for valid values in the backend.
How would you approach this? A html co-ordinate map? Some sort of Javascript? Flash?
I am aware all those solutions have one drawback or another. Does anyone know a better way of doing this? Or an existing opensource project?
Just an idea, if I read your problem correctly: I would personally use the Google Maps API for this. Plot each county onto your custom Google Map, then when you click each marker an info window could appear with "Select this County". Click the link and pass a value through the URL to your PHP script.
Used a html map system. Dreamweaver made it easy (first time I've used the design screen seriously)
