Is it possible to call an external URL in a component and to show it in the mash up
the idea is more detailed look on maps for example. Other integration could be arranged too.

Of course you can integrate data that is accessible via URL. Create a data feed and specify the URL (and authentication credentials if necessary) in a data source's options. This way the URL-data becomes a data feed and can be mashed with other data or visualized using any MashZone chart or other components.
This way you can even present images whose file name or URL is calculated at run-time.Since URL data is also mapped onto the data feed concept it can be used for filtering to provide user interaction and it is available within the data feed processing.

Hello Stephan
I'm not looking for a data feed, but for a integrated Internet Browser window in the MashApp area.
Instead of the predefined maps, I want to show maps.google.com with marks, where the customers of a sales manager are situated.
Google Maps is only an example. Other via browser url reachable site could be integrated, to show related information.
