The Azure base base map that displays with my map looks great but I don't see any of the streams or water basins labelled on the map. Are there Azure map layers available to display this information?
Thanks,
Annette
I suspect the data you are looking for isn't in the base map data. I recommend reporting this feedback on this site: https://feedback.azuremaps.com/ Click on the map where the streams/water basis are missing and press "Add comment". This will create a ticket with our data provider and an investigation will occur on their side to get this resolved in the future. When you send feedback it also creates a URL you can use to go back and check the status of your feedback.

I'm building a React app and I would like to use Maps. Google Maps and other Maps APIs have a charge and this project will be free for the community (just like an NGO) so no budget at all.
In this app there is a page to create an Event, so you can type many things and where the Event will happen, and that is where I would like to use Maps, to search and show the location.
I thought that if is there any possibility to use a search box connected to an API just to get the Longitude and Latitude based on the search would be great, but I have no idea how to make it and I was expecting that you could help me find a way. (the thing is: get the information for free)
Just as I create this event, I would like to show this information on the Event page, so where the event will happen. And that would be the second part that I would like to use Maps. Do you know if I just show the location in Maps if I would be charged? If so, then I can use redirection to Google Maps using the Latitude and Longitude that I got from the event creation.
Thanks in advance!

Anyone here familiar with Kinetise? I try to add to my app some kind of remote tracking functionality, where backend will trigger from active user his GPS position. What first come to my mind was PUSH notifications, but it's rather message notification than event triggering in this tool. In taxi template there is a map with live changing positions, realized by longpooling requests I think. I found that you can add your current position in request params or body and I consider to use this technique to send user location to server, but I think that I would have to add empty lists in each screen, just to send a location. A bit weird but maybe there is any better solution?
#Marek for GPS purposes you have also functions:
GPS TRACKING START
GPS TRACKING STOP
You can add it to buttons from widget "EVENTS" tab.
EVENTS tab
I know it's not triggered by server but can help you meet your requirements.
We have a property/accommodation profile page that lists a property address including postcode. This information is stored in a SQL Server database table and the page has a recordset that allows us to feed profile information onto a page depending on the propertyID that is selected (either via link or using a form) by the user.
We created a field in the database table that would allow us to insert the Google Map embed code for a property and, subsequently, we'd then call that on the property profile page but this requires us to create the embed code in Google Maps first, have to paste that into our database field etc, before it would display a map on our page.
So...we would like to database drive the map based on the postcode. Is that possible?
We really don't want to have to get into longitude/latitude coordinates, we just want the map to identify the postcode and put a place marker on a map where that postcode appears.
How do we acheive this? We've tried looking through the documentation and help files, but we really don't know what we're asking for so finding answers is proving incredibly difficult or the answers that we've found seem extremely technical (Google API, Geocoding, etc) for what we're trying to acheive.
Could someone point us in the right direction?
We hoped that there would be some way of inserting the postcode, dynamically, into generic embed code from Google Maps and that Google Maps would do the rest.
Anyway, we would appreciate any help and advice that could be offered. Thank you.

Traditionally Postcode data in the UK costs lots of money.
You can now download the Ordnance Survey data and convert their data into Latitude and longitude which would let you plot coordinates on google maps. (http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/products/code-point-open/index.html)
I'm trying to see the path my users take when clicking thru a web app I have. I've got logs, awstats and webalizer on the server-side, and I'm looking to install some sort of analytical product. I don't see any breadcrumb/click path data in my log files. Am I missing it? Barring that, what analytical products (Yahoo, Google, etc) can do this?
Thanks.
You can try GAVisual a small tool for Google Analytics which can show you users paths with waves (page by page) visualisation. It uses GA data for your site which was collected before.
I believe Google Analytics supports this via a site overlay that shows which links users clicked on each page. I don't think it will do per-user tracking, but the site overlay gives you a good idea of how users in general navigate through your site.
Regardless, I would highly recommend Google Analytics - super easy to set up and really powerful.
Woopra can show click-through paths in real time and on reports. It uses colors to visualize bounces (red) and popup links (green).
The downsides: free only while in Beta, and it can take a while for your subscription request to get approved.
Google Analytics does summary reports for entrance and exit paths and bounce rates, but it cannot show such a compelling picture as Woopra at the individual user level.

I'm looking for a solution to map one or all of the following Flickr, twitter, vimeo, by exif, keywords or whatever to google maps. I'm trying to show a map of my location from updating social sites.
If each of the services you want supports GeoRSS, then you can actually build such a map with zero coding whatsoever! This is because Google Maps supports mapping a GeoRSS feed directly. All you have to do is type the URL of the RSS feed with the GeoRSS data within, into the box on Google maps. Here's an example of the feed from my What's The Harm? website mapped in Google Maps.
Now you mention several services there, each of which whould presumably have its own GeoRSS feed. What you would need to do is merge the feeds together before handing the resulting feed to Google Maps. There are a variety of ways to do this, one quick point-and-click way is via Yahoo Pipes. Search for "merge feed" or "merge RSS" on there and you can find many examples that you can copy and modify.
Yahoo Pipes also has functionality to add GeoRSS coding to feeds that don't have it already. You could use that to bring in data like blog posts and son on that might not be GeoRSS. Look under "Operators" for the "Location Extractor" widget.
As for the websites you mentioned:
Flickr: Yes. Make sure you map your photos, and use the feed marked "geoFeed".
twitter: There's a service called GeoTwitter that can add this for you.
vimeo: It doesn't appear they support it out of the box.
There's a nice greasemonkey script to ease geotagging on Flickr.
