Yahoo Maps API Released

Monday, February 11th, 2008

Yahoo Maps has released a new API using Actionscript 3. The Maps API contains a core set of widgets, markers, overlays and web services to enable you to interact with the map in every way.

All the examples are built using Flex, but I’m not sure if the Flex Library is required to publish. I’ll find out when I give it a whirl.

Screencast and additional Map API info.

Update: I just fond this great information on how to use this API in CS3, without Flex (a hack, but they say CS3 support is coming soon):
