Dear All,

I want to create one SSRS report that should show map location based on the value entered through report parameter.

Please advice.

Thanks,

Rohan

The google static maps API should be able to do what you want.

You call the API with various parameters and you get a map section returned.

Take a look at the Static Maps API Developer Guide for further details.

Bing maps is a lot easier to implement. Certainly Report Builder 3 makes it very simple. Is there a reason that you want to use Google specifically?

definitely better to use Bing maps - it is MS after all, so should have better support/functionality.
