Hello Everyone,
I'm building my first android app with Google Maps and have a running app where I can add markers to the map etc.
I can't figure out how to load markers from a database and show information in a popup.
I'm targeting apps like Gasbuddy, where prices are shown realtime.
Can someone help me in the right direction?
Thanks alot

Hi Guys,
First of all thanks for helping me out.
I am developing an application using Google Maps API. It is an Android developement.
My problem is I need to get the coordinates of all locations within a certain marked area of a KML file. it is a KML which was created using boundary coordinates.
My application needs to enable the user to key in the exact location. After that my application will need to get the coordinates from Google Map and match it to the exact location on the KML file. It has to be based on exact coordinates.
The problem is, since the KML does not have all the coordinates, I am unable to pin point to the exact location.
I believe I can overlay the KML on the Google Map and that way capture all the coordinates of the marked areas within the KML. Is that possible as now I just am so stuck.
I hope someone can help me out here, emailing me at [email protected]
Your kind assistance is very much appreciated.
Regards,
Venot
Hi all,
Previously if you sent your location to someone (ie. through whatsapp) and you viewed that location it would be the exact location that was sent. But now after the update it seems to show you the closest POI. For example, I'm at a large park and send the location of where our group is to someone who just arrived. When the view the location in the latest maps it shows the the main point of the park, not the location I sent them. Makes finding your car in the parking lot difficult also.
Is there any setting (which I couldn't find) that will make it show the exact location again? For now I've just uninstalled the update.
Edit: I'm trying to display a PIN at specific coordinates on the map but instead it shows the closest POI or street
Thanks.
Am familiar with Google map and some other mapping apps. What I'm looking for is something similar that keeps routing notes of business locations. A client provides a product for area retail outlets. Need app that allows notes to be kept for multiple locations where can click on a map, click on business location pinned on map, and be able to edit note/spreadsheet for that location. App would be able to track when last visited a location, items delivered, etc. by doing a quick search and also be able to print. Sometimes these areas don't have access to the Internet so being able to use offline map with notes would be a big plus. Is there an existing map app that has such capability?
Hi,
When using Google maps, if I set a destination and navigate to it, the ma just sits there and doesn't move when I drive off, nor does my location on it.
However if I stay on Google maps, and drive about my position is updated correctly but obviously I can't navigate that way.
I tried mapquest and that works with no problem as an alternative, but what the he'll it's wrong with maps?
Any ideas, I've already cleared Google maps in the apps section?
Sorry to reply without adding to the issue, but as I had not come across other's with this issue I want to confirm that Maps on my Galaxy S2 with Android 4.1.2 also does not update my position once I start navigating to my destination. But it does find my location before my destination is set.
EDIT: can anyone suggest a good place to put this query so that a Google employee takes note of it?
Edit 2: I reported the bug from within the Google Maps application. Hope there is some result.
Hi,
I wonder if there is any app that will add a new item to share menu giving a possibility to send coordinates from GMaps to other apps.
What I would welcome is to find a place with google maps and send the ccordinates of the point to other Navigation app like Mapfactor or be-on-road. There is something like that in OSMAnd - for a choosen point I have a share the location menu. So the location can be shared with Email. SMA, Clipboard and geo:
When I point to geo: I can then choose my prefared navigation app.
Basically I am looking for similar functionality on Google Maps.
If any hint - please.
Regards,
Marcin
