MQWrapper

MQWrapper (MapQuest Wrapper) is an ActiveX object written in Visual C++. It provides any ActiveX capable language (VB, C++, Delphi, etc) to use Mapware's Mapquest libraries. As shipped to developers, Mapware only provides a C++ library to generate URLs that can be passed to their map servers. This is not useful at all if you wish to put maps into web pages and such. Hence, enter MQWrapper (MapQuest Wrapper), which provides a shim layer above the Mapware libraries to allow a developer to use Mapquest's libraries from things such as ASP.

You can download it by clicking here, which will get you the whole VC6 project file and stuff. To use it, you must be a Mapquest licenced company, and have the Mapquest ID. Before compiling the project, you MUST edit the Wrapper.h file and replace the holder with your Mapquest ID.

If you've got any questions, please look at my contact page for information on how to get in touch with me. There is no documentation, but once you've compiled the DLL, and register it (regsvr32 mqwrapper.dll), you can use VB to look at the syntax for using the component. Enjoy!
