State map with markers,info windows
-
Hi Everyone- I have built a help-desk application that allows agents to create tickets with issues that our technicians are dispatched to resolve. Our company for the most part operates in three states. What I am looking to do, is have a section in the application that displays a map of our region, with the three states visible, with markers or pins on them. The idea is a new call comes in with a problem in a city. The dispatcher can look at the map and see markers/pins of all of the technicians and where they currently are. The dispatcher can then make a determination "Steve is only 10 minutes away, lets send him after he is done with his current call". I am wondering if anyone knows the best way to go about doing this for a C# Windows Forms application. I was tossing around the idea of having a browser window somehow interfacing with Google Maps to tell it the area I want to display along with the pin/marker information, but was wondering if any of you could point me in the right direction! I would really like to accomplish this without the need for a local web server if that is possible. TIA!

If the PC is always online, the use WebBrowser control, open google maps, and put some coordinates in it. That is the easiest way.
That's exactly what I would like to do! I have been searching for a little while as to an easy way to open google with coordinates. Everything that I have found so far requires custom web pages with all of that jazz. Any suggestions as to easy way to add points/coords to google map from within a browser in C#?
