hi all,

I am a doubt on how to create routes using the MapView.
Can you give me a tip on how to use this feature ?

Hi, on creating routes, path is needed, on creating path, points and the relations between points are needed.so, you should get the geopoints from the open database first. unfortunately, there is little service of this kind in use for free.

I guess you can have the GPS coordinates along the route and then draw lines from one coordinate to the other

Hi all,

All points marked on the map, Anybody know the class that trace the routes?

"com.google.googlenav"-Package

It was possible to use above class but not anymore.. Unfortunately....

But There is alternative to solve the problem (actually, Not a perfect way!!)

You can use Intent Class and Call Mapview with some attributes
this is a sample

new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=37.4,-121.9&daddr=Bellevue, WA"));

saddr=[need start point|Name]
daddr=[need destination point|Name]

That gives you googles route right? its not your own route..

could someone please provide a batter example or working code? thank you very much

There is not much to it, I am not sure it is batter (sorry) but here is another example:



Where startLat, startLng, endLat, endLng are a long with 6 decimals like: 50.123456
Stick this code somewhere as the action for a button for example and there you go.
