I built an application and I put the Google Maps in it (just the view).
I want to add a pin option in order to the user will be able to set his destination.
So I need that the user put a pin,confirm and then I need to get the coordinates and put tham into variables
how can I do it?
p.s
Does anyone know how to define an area (in radius)?
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.
My android application uses Google Maps API 2. Is possible to import markers (using addresses, etc) and can I make navigation from a given location to the nearest imported marker?
I must make my app visible in app store until September 1st...that means i need help fast...
Thanks in advance,
Alex
Hello everybody,
Been looking for a while for a GPS based location and directions app that has the following functionality
1. Pinpoint any location on a map and save the location by giving it a unique ID (alphanumeric)
2. Share this ID with your friends using the same app by sending this ID via the app or email or sms.
3. Users use this ID for location and/or directions instead of typing the entire address or GPS coordinates.
4. App can use google maps or Nokia maps or other maps.
Please suggest some apps with similar functionality.
Much appreciated.

I am currently working on my own android app and I do some calculations and method calls there and finally get latitude and longitude of one point where I want to navigate to and have the latitude and longitude from my current location. Now I have some options from here on:
1. I embed existing navigation on Android in my application.
2. I start an extern navigation application via intent.
Both ways are used to help the user to navigate to the location.
When I finally reached the destination then my own app should handle this and send a message to a server. This is easier when my own app is in the foreground on the phone.
Some ideas what way I should use and if one explains me with what. I read something about Grasshopper etc. but I am not confident what to use.
Hopefully someone here can help me or just write down their opinion.
