dlal66 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Monks, I have the following predicament. I have downloaded a googlemap using Geo::Google:StaticMaps:V2 by specifying a center Lat/Long, a zoom level of 16, and a scale of 2. The image that is output is 1280x1200. If I specify scale of 1, the image size is 640x600. I am displaying this image on a canvas. What I need to do is to map the Lat/Long received from a GPS receiver on the googlemap image. The scenario will involve having the perl app running on a laptop in a moving vehicle. Is this possible? The accuracy does not have to be 100%. I have read a lot of posts relating to Mercator projection but have not been able to clearly understand what needs to be done. Thanks

    I hope to make you smile

    Is this possible?

    Hi, yes, anything is possible, it just requires different amounts of knowledge and work

    IIRC zinc-demos from Tk::Zinc had some kind of map example
