<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&lt;center&gt;(Return to the main idea page for the [[Google Summer of Code]])&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> == Incentive ==<br /> <br /> Today with sites like Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps and Mapquest there is often a desire to integrate with those sites. While such sites already provide an API for integration, they can take unfamiliar developers a long to learn and the API's differ between sites. This project would create a single mapping API provide a small number of very powerful features that would make integration into such services easier for the PHP developer just wanting to get things done.<br /> <br /> The goal here is simplicity. Make common mapping features easy to implement in a PHP application while preventing the developer to become an expert with the mapping API's themselves.<br /> <br /> == Objective ==<br /> <br /> * Identify a set of mapping features of most use to PHP developers who would want to integrate with a mapping service yet not have to learn an entire API.<br /> * Research the existing mapping API's provided by Google, Yahoo!, et. al and develop a PHP interface to support the above goal.<br /> * Implement the interface using both Yahoo! and Googles API.<br /> * Implement a web service that exposes this API.<br /> * What else (Justin)<br /> <br /> == Level of Difficulty ==<br /> <br /> ''Medium''<br /> <br /> This project doesn't involve a lot of User Inteface and CSS work so for those who have a solid PHP background but struggle to make things &quot;pretty&quot; this is right up your ally.<br /> <br /> == Further Reading ==<br /> <br /> * [http://code.google.com/apis/maps/ Google Maps API]<br /> * [http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/ Yahoo! Maps API]<br /> * [http://www.mapquest.com/features/main.adp?page=developer_tools_oapi Mapquest API]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Summer of Code]] [[Category:Development]]</div>
