Hello,
ive been trying to open up with webview, google map class..
i dont udnerstand why i cant enable there the zoom option, in order to zoom in/out the map.
*ive just tested it with some url of a map with 4 points and a route between them
here is my code:

WebView webview = new WebView(this);
webview.setHorizontalScrollBarEnabled(true);
webview.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(true);
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webview.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);

setContentView(webview);
webview.loadUrl("http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=41.897422,-93.529015&daddr=41.893333,-93.599052+to:41.901127,-93.6091+to:41.891799,-93.619137&ie=UTF8&z=13");

i`am running it, inside an activity, without special layout, just setting the set content view.
ive also tried to fix it in some layout, and the zoom hasnt been enabled also.
it's running fine, just cant enable the zoom's ability.
Iam doing it through my emulator, and havnt tried it on a real phone yet.

any idea?

thanks.

I'm far from being a map expert but from what i've read, is the getsettings() really necessary?
is " webview.setBuiltInZoomControls(true); " possible?

No it's not, tried that already!

I haven't used WebView yet, and I do not know if this will help you to achieve YOUR final result, but have you tried working with the MapView? The MapView has the method MapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(boolean), and I have gotten that to work perfectly. Although I must mention that you have to do some setup to get Google's Maps to work on your emulator/device.

yes ive tried to do a mapview, and there it works fine, but i want a "route" between destenations, and it's much more complicated to achive with mapview, then just past a link from google maps.

Noone could find any solution to this mysterious?
must be a way how to zoom inside while using webview..

Thanks,
