Hey guys!

I am following this tutorial (Add a Google Map to a VB Desktop Application ) to put Google Maps in my Win Forms Application. It runs well except that the browser control in it brings in the whole Google maps website. Is there anyway i could show only the map in the browser control?

I tried creating my own google maps using google maps API in a .jsp page and used the url (http:\\localhost:8080..) in the tutorial (above). I can see the map but the search form isn't working on the new URL. I used Wikimapia - Let's describe the whole world! too, but the search form isn't working with this URL either.

My form needs to be able to search longitude/latitude and address in the Google maps through a search form in the application.

I am new to vb.net. I dug out a lot of articles from the internet regarding this but don't understand half of them and even if i did, i had trouble
implementing them.

This is my school project (due in 4 days )
I have tried creating the world map using shape files. They weren't accurate and proper shape files weren't available for all the countries and cities in the
world. Right now i am trying to use the browser control to bring in the Google maps.

Any sort of suggestions, ideas and guidance are most welcome. Thank You!
