I want to show the google map of my company in the company website. I read on the google maps site that new keys for google map for actionscript are no longer available. How can I show google map in the site?
These are the two alternatives you have :
Bing Maps Platform in Flash/Flex/ActionScript
Yahoo! Maps AS-Flash API
MapQuest offers both Flash and Mobile Flash APIs and they ARE supported!
Obviously this isn't a solution that involves Google, but I've been happy with the MapQuest Flash APIs. Hope this helps!
These are the alternatives we've been deciding between:
Flex Only
ESRI ArcGIS Flex API
AS3
OpenScales
ModestMaps
MapQuest
As a side note if you are just trying to show a simple map on your website, perhaps you should consider the JS Google Maps API? It's fairly simple to add a small map to a html page. Check out http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/
Hope that helps.

I need an AS3 maps API for a school project (AIR Desktop APP). I wanted to use Google Maps API but, since it is deprecated, I can't obtain a key. Any other good maps API I could use? I just need basic function: search for a city, get coordinates, calculate distance and place elements (circles/lines) on the map to connect the cities.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
If you dont have to use as3, you could use the JS Google Maps API in Adobe Air. Also you could try http://developer.mapquest.com/web/products/featured/as3-flex-flash. I have personally have not used MapQuest but I read good reviews about it.
You can use ModestMaps.
Library.
Simple tutorial.
You can simply use the flash.media.StageWebView object or classes from flash.html to display web content. However, you will have to create the web content yourself using Google Maps API and JavaScript.
I have my own custom technology map and I was looking to integrate the image with the Google Maps API to provide a richer Google Map-like experience for navigating around my material.
Can anyone provide some thoughts on how best to do this? What steps do I need to look at in order to use my custom image with the Maps API? Is it even possible.
Similar examples would be what Google did for the Moon or Mars - but is this approach open to others to do?
Looks like you want to create a Custom Map Type with a Custom Projection:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/maptypes#CustomMapTypes
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/maptypes#Projections
All the information you need is there in the documentation.
Please take a look at this implementation of http://map.embed.ly/ [google maps][1] . Would like to know how it can be achieved ? I have seen only satellite, hybrid implementation this seems new to me

It looks like a well done custom overlay on top of Google Maps API (v3).
The GMAP API website has an example that shows the code as well as the output. Good luck!
What you're looking at doing is implementing the Google Maps API. It provides methods for placing custom overlays and data sets into a Google Maps interface:

I'm trying to integrate Google Earth into Google Maps, and I saw it was possible in v2.
But I can't find any doc about how to do so with v3.
Unfortunately, this is not yet implemented in Google Maps API v3, see the corresponding ticket.
Please note, the more stars a ticket has, the sooner it will be taken care of.
Just a note that there is now an unofficial library at http://code.google.com/p/google-maps-utility-library-v3/ (trunk at http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/googleearth/)
Here's my offering: https://github.com/myshen/google-maps-v3-earth-map-type.
It's not from Google but it does do a little more out of the box:
Links polygons, rectangles, circles, kml, in addition to markers.
Links mouse events (click, drag, over, out).
I've been trying to port [jlivni]'s code to OpenLayers and have setup a GitHub project for that (1).
Now you can see a demo with Google Maps on one side and Google Earth on the other side:
http://ziglionz.github.com/GoogleEarth-for-OpenLayers/ol.html
Currently the library supports only unstyled placemarks but it shouldn't be too hard to support other features.
The demo also sports a timeline for OpenLayers, that's part of another project (2).
I am using the google maps api v2 to build attraction guide mashup. Currently it shows some landmarks on the tiles it returns. I notice some of the geocoding of certain attractions is off.
Is there a way I can tell google to send back map tiles with no land marks? I cant seem to find any info on the api docs about it.
As of Google Maps API v3, you can use the Google Maps API Styled Map Wizard to do exactly this.
There is no way to request custom tiles from Google. Your only option is to choose from the available map types, or to generate your own tiles.
The Terrain map (G_PHYSICAL_MAP) might be more acceptable for you.
