Using Google Maps API in C++

[cheungwh88]

Is it possible to run Google Maps API in C++? I would like to use the functions that are within Google Maps in my C++ program.

To my knowledge, the Google Maps API is meant to be run client-side, not server side. When a website embeds Google Maps, the user interacts with the embed map and the map can send information back to the website server, but cannot be actively controlled by the server, since it is controlled by Google. (Someone correct me if I am wrong please!)

It is possible. You certainly need a library (web browser engine):

Specially blink and gecko. Both are C++.
