Hello, I need some help

For my application I need a map (GoogleMaps?) and when I navigate to it in my application (for example I click "Map" button on Main Screen), I have to be located by GPS and displayed some overlays on a map. I find this but there is no GPS positioning and Text Areas on the left/right side of a pinpoint/markers on Overlay.

So I have a map, map is zoomed to my GPS location which is pinpointed, and around it are some other locations which are also marked by pinpoints but around pinpoint(s) is some (my) text. Coordinates of that other locations (latitude, longitude) are stored in a database, and also text around it is stored in a database.

Here is an image how is that supposed to look like (don't mind that everything is "A", think like A,B,C,D,E...)...

Code: Select all

anybody? anything?

Hi,

I'm on the path to doing some map stuff and thought your question was a good one. I found this blog with an example that looks like it could help. It's a little old, but I think the use of pixelCalculator and drawText are what you need to draw what you want.

Download the .zip file and check out the MyOverlay.java file. It may just help.

Attached the source zip.

Good luck.
