I'm looking for information about how to create customized google map for Android. This question came into my head after I saw the Ingress game app. Does anyone of you know, how map work work in this application ?
I've read that you can create your own customized map using Maps Api v3 on Web and display it using WebView, but this doesn't seems to work like this.
Ingress on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nianticproject.ingress
Style Map feature is for you :)

Is using google maps for android SDK in China working?
I've been trying by VPN and it's not working.
Is there some SDK setting I'm missing?
Like the javascript api allows change the url to
http://maps.google.cn/
If not, can anyone give me some suggestion?
I've been trying the Skobbler OSM Maps, the speed of randomly loading when loading the world wide map area is so slow.
Does it works by using the webview (Google map javascript API) ?
Our app need to show the global countries map, including China area.
Many Thanks
you can change the google maps to GaoDe (amap).
First because Google maps need the googles services, which are not available on Chinese phones.
Then because if there is a way with JavaScript to get to the Chinese google map ( see the following link: developers.google.com/maps/faq?hl=en#china_ws_access ), for android with java it is still not reliable.
I have developed an app, in which Im using map option to display the user stores in google map using Google map API V2 for it.
I'm able to display the map with 2-3 market in it, every this is working fine.
I want to share that map with marker and all to pc as a url.So that i can open in browser.
How can i do it?
Is it possible to do it or not ?
I don't think they offer functions to do it. But you can build your own, which looks something like this:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=[ADDRESS]&z=[ZOOMLEVEL]
you can always refer to the Google Maps Embed API for more information.
*note that, sadly, there are no way for adding multiple markers into the maps.google.com.
Hello Guys is it possible to make Bus Station icon clickable using Google Maps API ?
I am currently working on an app but haven't worked with Google maps before. Can any of you please provide some tutorial links for this if possible
Thank You!
I want to show a google map of a place with custom markers for different places. I want to be able to edit these markers without updating the app. Best way to do this according to me is using Maps Engine layer in Maps api for android. I have tried searching but haven't gotten an answer.
If there is a better way to do what I am trying to achieve please suggest me that. Let me know if updating/adding markers is not possible without updating the app.
Yes you can pull maps engine data into your app via the API and populate markers on your map view.
Google give some great examples in the API docs # Maps Engine API docs
You could also roll a home brew solution and store your marker data on a server and have your application check for updates each run or daily.
I was just wondering as to how to download/create a map out of Google Maps in order for it to work offline.
I was thinking of creating a navigation system with offline Google Maps, but I don't know how to get a copy of Google Map to work offline then embed it with my own application.
Please help me on this one.. really need it badly...
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/terms.html
Please read section 10.1.3
Downloading and creating a derivative work is against the terms of service.
it is already builtin i think ?
google maps has now a local cache for maps , still not sure what we can do with it
