We have been using the Google Maps Plugin from Codechargetools.com which was more than sufficient in the past. The provided API Version 2.x is no longer supported by Google, and especially with larger projects we run into the problem that the plugin completely stops working. We did some research and learned that Google is slowly "forcing" users to use the new API Version 3.
Hence my question: Does anybody know a good an alternative Google Maps tool that
a) works with Codecharge
b) and/or is easy to incorporate into Codecharge
c) scalable and reliable
We are mainly using CCS ASP.net C# and Inmotion.
Any input is highly appreciated !

I had the same problem last week setting up http://iptrace.im . I ended up ditching the plugin because some component started giving errors and even the plugin disappeared from CCS once and I had to reinstall it. I'm not new to google maps API, so learning API V3 .. at least the basics, was not difficult. Probably you will find a sample in their tutorial that you can modify to fit your purpose ... and tweak later.
All in all I think you will be better off learning the API. V3 is much more compact than V2. Plus, I don't think that there is an alternative plugin and the way things look I don't think there ever will be.

innonet,
Have you asked Codechargetools.com if they plan on upgrading or fixing the current CCS plugin? Just wondering?

Hi MamboBrown,
I was surprised to get a reply to my email request. They just told me that the current plugin does not support V3. A second email if they work on an upgrade stayed unanswered.
Hope that helps.

innonet,
One suggestion that I can make is that you analyse what the Codechargetool does with V2 and see if you can integrate the new features of V3. The other solution is to look for a PHP class that has similar features. Here is a starting place ( http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&gcx=c&sourceid=chrome...ass+google+maps )
