Message-ID<jhfjkq$5d2$1@news.albasani.net>
I am trying to write a java programs on windows xp which will show google 
maps. I suppose it will have to do with web services as done by a browser.

Being pretty new with java, can anybody offer some tips ?

Thanks.

It is best to start with the simplest imaginable program and get that
working, then gradually add features. 

That way you are always building on a correct understanding of the
API. 

It is so easy to misinterpret documentation and create a giant mess
you cannot begin to debug.

Try using Google to find sample code snippets.

One of the most useful comments you can put in a program is 
"If you change this, remember to change ?XXX? too".

That is excellent advice, and a more detailed beginner's approach along those 
lines is available on Dr.) Patricia Shanahan's site, the "Beginner" page. (Dr. 
Shanahan is a valued contributor to this newsgroup.)

If when you say "web services as done by a browser" you mean
[web services used by a browser application similar to Maps]
then OK.

Try this, not kidding, type into Google Search, "how
to program Google Maps". Check out the link titled:

"Google Maps API Family"

Watch out for licensing. There is also a great open source
maps project, Open Street Maps, although I don't think
they have satellite imagery.
