Turning down the Flash Maps API
Tuesday, August 12, 2014
Alert!
On September 2nd of this year the
three year deprecation
period for the Google Maps API for Flash will come to a close and the API will be turned off on that date. We encourage developers of existing applications to migrate to
JavaScript Maps API v3
as soon as possible.
Over the past 3 years we’ve added numerous additional features to v3, such as
elevation
,
cycling and transit directions
,
symbols
, and support for
GeoJSON
,
making it our most powerful and well used Maps API ever. Developers looking to migrate to the JavaScript Maps API v3 can find answers to any questions they have on
StackOverflow
. Our
support page
has the right StackOverflow tags to peruse.
Alternatively, if you are a Maps API for Business customer you can get help through the
Enterprise support portal
(check the Resources tab).
