GoogleApis - To be or not to be that is the question

[Star-Dust]

Since the GMaps javascript api is no longer fully compatible with WebView (Desktop), various software have problems as they only display the satellite map.

I looked for alternatives with alternative classes to WebView and there are several of excellent quality, some for a fee but which guarantee many functions like a Browser.
It would be an optimal solution if it weren't for the fact that some are paid and I haven't been able to implement them.

So I resorted to the browser managed by b4J with the help of a Javascript code that acts as a collector.

The result is almost sufficient, there is still a lot to work on... but it is a positive hope to guarantee at least the minimum of functions

It seems complete but still missing: Marker, InfoWindow, GroundOverlay, Directions, Street View
I probably won't be able to fit everything in... but we'll see

While working on my library I managed to get it working inside a WebView.

My intuition was right, version 3.56 should have been specified and not 3.exp which uses jGoogleMaps. And so it works correctly.

I don't know if @Erel will update the JGoogleMpas library. If he updates it I will stop, because it takes time that I don't have, but if he doesn't update it I will continue to develop my
