I'm writing a map applcication with Ruby-on-Rails 3 and gmaps4rails gem. I have the map setup and everything works fine but I would like to have a google maps like searchbox on the top with a dropdown list of possible places, like this:
Is there any easy way of doing this or a plugin that gives this functionality with not to much coding?
Preferably I would like to limit the search results to just one country if that is possible.
Regards,
Johann
I'm in a similar boat. In the past my application had search implemented with custom JavaScript based on Google Maps API Version 2, now I'm looking to upgrade.
However, in Google Maps API Version 3, there isn't a "enableGoogleBar" option anymore. The good news is that the new "Places" service looks to be the replacement.
You'll want to specifically look at the Places Autocomplete section. The example pretty much exactly describes what you want.
I'm getting into this myself soon. I'll keep you updated with progress I make. If you don't beat me to it first.

I want to add cards to my docusaurus v2 site just like in the Playground Page in docusaurus.io/docs/playground. Can someone tell me how to implement it?
Not sure if you're still looking for a solution for this one year later, but I had the same question and landed on https://iframely.com/
It's not the cheapest (min. $29/month) but looks great, is well documented and has lots of integrations.
https://embed.ly/ is a cheaper alternative but only has one card style (horizontal) which I didn't like.
I am trying to put google maps on my browser and I am having trouble with APIs. What I am trying to do is have a searchbox with a map under it, where the user can put address and it will search near restaurants and pin them on the map. What I tried is searching the hole google and it just gets more confusing. I need help with this.
I came across something similar not so long ago and stumbled upon this neat jQuery Autocomplete Plugin.
It autocompletes the location you type and searches for it, after which it focuses the map on that location. It doesn't however highlight the nearest restaurants/bars/etc., but you can easily place a marker if said location was found. Hope this helps.
If you're interested in using PHP, this library will greatly help your journey. It saved me countless hours with the Google Maps API.
I am just a beginner in Titanium and searching for few sample source code to learn from and run. Downloading and working with kitchen sink or with the API is a big pain, to understand as well as to work with.
Although everything is there in both and they have given sample but that seems like not an implementation. I just want to have some source code to learn how, when and where to use the elements? How things work, how are they integrated etc.
Usually at the Q&A section there are samples of code. Just search what you are looking for: http://developer.appcelerator.com/questions/newest
The Wiki provides examples: http://wiki.appcelerator.org/display/guides/Home
Even this website provides code samples, check out the Titanium Tag: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/titanium
And last, but not least, there seem to be more and more code samples in the API Docs: http://developer.appcelerator.com/apidoc/mobile/latest
Good luck!
As an option, you can find good application samples on CodeCanyon. They're not free but you can learn a lot by examining how to start from scratch to build an application like;
Simple Foursquare like apps
Photo gallery apps
TODO apps etc.

I found this Forging Titanium series on Vimeo.com to be one of the best. Just watch out this complete series. Beside providing you with basics and advanced limelight on elements and functionality, also provide link to many github public repository we can follow and get numerous sample codes.
I want to add a similar feature to a tool I'm making. I'm interested in how it works code-wise. I want to be able get an html page and exclude all but the article.
The Readability project does something similar for chrome and iOS. I'm not sure how it detects the content automatically but I know that Readability has an API for people who want to integrate it's features. You might want to check that out.

If you're working with Ruby, you could use Pismo. It extracts an article from a given document.
I want something like Axiis, but without using Flex or other Adobe products.
Have a look at the JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit. Also, maybe the gRaphaël charting library (built on top of Raphaël) can suit your needs.
Others:
Ajax.org
Google Chart API
flot
Style Chart
Bluff
JS Charts
jqPlot
pChart
ExtJS
Vizualize
TufteGraph
milkchart
DojoX Data Chart
jQChart
PlotKit
See whether one of these suits your needs best.
The closest I can think off the top off my head is Google Visualization API
Of course, AFAIK, this will only work for on-line applications. And is Google any less evil than Adobe is a question for you to decide :)
This is a pretty open question, as you havent specified any preference for any particular technology or language.
I do a lot of WPF/C# stuff so I immediately start looking on that stack. Assuming that this would be a suitable platform, then Visifire might be worth looking at... I originally found them here on codeplex.
There seem to be a ton of third party paid for components that can do similar things. Telerik has some visualization tools that may also be worth having a look at.
Is thre any specific scenario that you are looking at, or any specific language? I think we may be able to suggest better alternatives if that was provided.
You could try protovis (JavaScript), looks quite similar.
You can use jqChart - HTML5 jQuery Chart Plugin
