You can fork or download the source code hosted on GitHub. Alternatively, you may open it in full screen for more comfortable use. To highlight the newly native support of Baidu Maps in Woosmap Javascript API 1.4, we’ve developed the following sample Store Locator mapping the Starbucks Coffee Shops across China. Navigate to, set a custom name for your key, select “Browser side” as the application type, uncheck unwanted APIs (let at least Javascript API) and configure the allowed referer as shown below: Sample Store Locator Last stage before integrating Baidu Maps in your website! You’ll need to create an Application Key for Browser side capabilities. You should receive a text message with a verification number to validate your registration. It’s about the same process as the previous step. You will then have to register as a Baidu developer to use the Baidu Maps API. But you could easily get a compatible mobile phone number using one of many available web services (Skype, TextNow, ,…). Signing in to Baidu with a QQ or Weibo account will ask you to bind a Mainland China mobile phone number anyway.Īt this time, European phone number are not supported yet. You can create a Baidu account without a Chinese phone number using the overseas registration page. Note that for non-Chinese area stores location, the WGS84 coordinates system is the one used by default. All you’ll have to do is to create a Baidu Account and bind it an Application key - ak with desired security settings. The Woosmap SDK 1.4 is actually doing transparently this conversion so you can focus on what matters: helping your users finding the right store. Before using Baidu Maps JavaScript API, it is necessary to convert your WGS84 based locations into Baidu coordinates through coordinate conversion interface. Indeed, for various reasons, Baidu use its own coordinate system, called BD09.
Baidu Coordinates Systemīuilding a Store Locator from scratch using Baidu Maps Javascript API could be a tough task, particularly when using the standard earth coordinate system for your assets - WGS84 - and wanting to display them in Mainland China. This article talks about building a Store Locator with Baidu Maps for Mainland China, and how to achieve this using Woosmap.
Woosmap SDK 1.4 has been released and allows Woosmap developers to display Assets over Baidu Maps, using our new Chinese-based infrastructure, in a transparent way.
And for Chinese territory, especially in the Mainland, Baidu Maps stay one step ahead of the competition thanks to its better accuracy in location data and more detailed satellite imagery. The Chinese map provider, offering a wide range of mapping services, from local search to driving direction, is actually turning into a world map provider. Search engine company Baidu recently launched their mapping services, Baidu Maps, for overseas users and developers.
