Been dreaming about this for quite some time. Has prepared the data for quite a while in dapper. Been playing a bit not so long. Finally, time permits and also the God of Bandwidth has been genereous, I finished my first mapplet. Mapplet is, roughly, an app (utilizing javascript APIS) you can run on Google Map platform. Yes, I liek to call it platform since it enables us to play above it.

Okay, about my mapplet. It’s a very simple one. Basically what it does is adding marker into the map. It utilizes data (JSON) invoked from dapper. So, if you load this mapplet, you’ll see marker on cities having 21cineplex theater.
 Dapper gives me city list then I pass it thru GClientGeocoder to retrive GlatLng (latitude & longitude) object and finally render it onto the map.

Further improvement may contains movie schedule on each cities. Data are there already, I just need to pull it over and then make the map interactive (shows info when marker is clicked).

Ah, a perfect end to my weekend :). Huzzah!

PS:
Actual city list data belongs to 21cineplex.com
