Closing Google Maps Flash API

May 15, 2008 at Habré appeared the first post dedicated to the announcement of the Google Maps API for Flash. As it turned out, 4 years later, on May 19, 2012, the Corporation announced the termination of work in this direction. New keys for the Google Maps Flash API will no longer be issued .

It seems that Google is driving another carnation into the still not closed Adobe Flash coffin.

PS A more accurate epithet would be that Google, “not very quickly” turning in the direction of sociality, trampled a little more on the already not so big sphere of influence of Adobe. Flash can still be confident in its future for at least three years, only it becomes a more limited and specific tool: broadcasting, broadcast from the camera, DRM protected content, browser-based p2p with multicasting and a number of popular technologies available to us in www only through the brainchild of Adobe, while the replacement of all of them is preparing, but even even (most of them) did not see the light.
