I am using Xamarin and am developing a Google Maps application. I would like to create my own style of the InfoWindow concept.
Is it possible for me to create a "box" that can be used as a container that can be positioned on a Google Map. Inside the "box", I can load a View or display some TextViews that have AutoLink properties that I can click on, rather than the current InfoWindow that is just an image?
Is this possible? Is it easy to do? May I please have some resources and/or advice on how to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance
I really dislikes the InfoWindow provided by google.
I found that it is not flexible enough to suit the needs I have for customization.
In my recent google maps project I have been using a third party infowindow called 'infobox'.
You might wanna try it out - its really flexible.

You can see some demos here:

The full documentation can be found here:

I have a huge plan of a site (the plan is just a picture), the problem is that Google Maps, can't have access to it, so I need to add markers in this picture (Plan), My question how to that ? how to make a picture interactive ? how to add markers ?
Really I have no idea, I saw indoor of Google Maps, but it's not what my custmer need.
Thank's !
this is a small example
you may give this library a try or see its demo here: https://leafletjs.com
it's a pure javascript library that may be used with any web platforms
wish it to be helpful.
I am trying to create a Location based augmented reality app which plots marker on top of the camera view.
Mose of the libraries and tutorials are outdated and they are 4+ years old also not stable. Below is the link to things which i have tried and failed.
Links to libraries
Link to tutorial
Link to stack
Im trying to create something like below image which is an iOS app developed using HDAugmentedReality which is very stable and does not overlap.
Since i could not find any library I'm planing to use Google Maps, It rotates according to camera with simulates AR. So i am planning to show only the markers and hide the Google Map View. If this is possible i can easily create an Location based AR app..
Is it possible to hide Maps but show Markers or is there any library which i missed? Thanks in advance .
I believe you can't use the Markers without showing it on Maps. The main purpose of it is to identify the location on a map. My suggestion would be for you to use your own custom overlay for the marked items you'll show.
Check out the Sun Surveyor, its not similar to what you'll do, but the idea of overlaying the information seems plausible (as indicated on the tutorial link you provided).
Hello I want to add a custom place on google map. I am using map API v2 .. I just want to achieve the functionality like default maps application in android in which user can add any place anywhere on map and can add any description title etc for that place.. I look around for solutions but didn't find it. Any help with be appreciated...
I think this is a small question don't put basic things in here. First, you have to search your requirement and if you not found put question here.
These provide basic knowledge about google map http://www.rogcg.com/blog/2014/04/20/android-working-with-google-maps-v2-and-custom-markers http://wptrafficanalyzer.in/blog/custom-marker-icon-for-google-maps-android-api-v2/ If you need to touch the map and add marker you can refer this link http://wptrafficanalyzer.in/blog/adding-marker-on-touched-location-of-google-maps-using-android-api-v2-with-supportmapfragment/ hope these links work for you.
I'm looking to create a circle menu for markers in my app that uses Google maps.
I've found this online example of what I am trying to do:http://demo-ee.com/index.php/examples/view/circle-menu-for-marker-with-mx-google-maps-for-expressionengine#
The problem is that this is for google maps in a webview, I'm looking to do this on Android.
Does anyone know if this is possible to achieve with google maps for Android and if it is, how much work would be involved to do it?
Is it possible to rebuild this example code in java to use in an Android app?
thanks
I put this as an answer and not as a comment, but I don't think you can achieve the same.
First of all, on android you don't have the "hover" callback for maps, you can only use the onMarkerClick listener.
You could try to build a custom infowindow (there are a few tutorial online but never followed, so I can't give you a trusted one, you have to try :( ) and check if the iw can be placed around your item. Unfortunately on android there is a limited set of functionalities, but to be honest, I would explore a different UX for that (cards, dialogfragment or other).
Check how google maps behaves when clicking on a place (a view scrollable from bottom with details).
You can also think about using a toolbar/expandingtoolbar
We added about 200 new markers in the MapView.
Now the app stucks and you cant use the MapView.
I heared about MarkerClusterer but did not found any more inforamation how to use MarkerClusterer with Android...or are there better solutions?
Can anyone give me a link or write a little turorial?
Thanks :)
You can have a look at this example Android project https://github.com/igorab/ManyPinsProject
It shows limited amount of markers depending on MapView zoom level.
Here is tutorial from Google https://developers.google.com/maps/articles/toomanymarkers
As #CommonsWare said it is only for JavaScript version or GoogleMaps, but may be you can find something useful there. For example, they have a link to MarkerClusterer js source code. Maybe you can find a way to adopt it to Android.
You can use this library – Android MapView Balloons. This project provides an easy way to annotate map overlay items with a simple information balloon when using the Android Maps.
