Description:
The Google Maps extension for PalmOS provides an interface from your Satellite Forms application to the free Google Maps application, providing detailed interactive maps, turn by turn directions, integrated search results, and satellite imagery.
The Google Maps extension enables your Satellite Forms 7 application to launch Google Maps to:
- Find a Location
- Find a Business
- Get Directions to a Location
- Get Directions from a Location
The LaunchReturn extension can be used to enable the automatic relaunching of your SatForms application when the Google Maps application is finished. You will need to use the Special AppReturnEventMode instead of Normal mode.
