automated testing with Google Maps API
Our new website will be heavily location based and use the Google Maps API quite a bit. Is it possible / practical to do any automation of this API using TestComplete? Thanks, Cu...

Allen,
I don't understand the part of your comment about "the path is also a set of several small images (you can check this in the Object Browser)"
When I initially tried to use the object browser to point to one of the icons on the map, it outlines a panel area that may or may not even contain the icon I pointed to. There is a grid left to right top to bottom of 12 of these "sub-panels". I'm guessing that the google map image is either reserving these panels for popups OR since the map can be shifted, that the panels correspond to different areas of the map that can be displayed.
Not that I can highlight some of them and the map may shift or the highlighted object might be completely off the map display area.
Does any one know what these panels correspond to? I've attached a snapshot of the heirarchy.
It looks like I will have to take image checkpoints of the map as expected and use the Regions.Compare to see if what I am getting matches.
Comments?
The get an image of the difference sounded promising. I was hoping I could do an automatic comparison of the image but it sounds like that might be a manual process. Is that right? In other words, I take a picture "X". I compare it with a picture "X" + "Y", then automatically compare the difference image with my image of "Y". Is that possible?
I suppose I will have to estimate the icon locations if I want to do any clicking on them . Comments?
Thanks very much.
