Halo guys,i found that the google map apps can show indoor floor plan with stores name,
but as i just implement google map v2 into my Android apps, it only shows floor plan without stores, is it possible to show details like the google map apps?
second, is there a indoor routing system in google map v2 for indoor map? e.g. shop a to shop b in same building same floor, and more if same building different floor?
thanks!!
No. You only get the basic outlines of the stores, not the names and such with indoor maps. Also there is no routing period in Google maps.

I want to develop an app using rssi of ble,wifi to set position of my users in indoor environment, or something else for example when they are near specific location send theme notification.
I have to add my information and markers to google map. and my own simple map.
it is like customized map for my users in my app.
I have this place in map but I want to add walking path and more information.
right now it does not have anything. no walking path for example.no stores information and exact location.
and i want add something like these or much simpler:
Sample indoor map 1
Sample indoor map 2
as I see you mentioned indoor map is just available for certain country.
this link : are available in select locations
and again you mentioned : Display a floor plan as a ground overlay or tile overlay on your map. This will enable only users of your application to view your floor plans.
my country is not the part of your supported list (sanction). but the google maps app is still working here.
I just want using google map to be shown with my customized map and information,markers just for my users in my app not public.
is it possible ?
I place my beacon and the position of the user is set by my algorithm in map. I do not know that I'm in right way or not. where I should start?
thanks a lot.
You can use Google Maps SDK for Android to create a map in your android app. You can customize the map on this sdk like putting markers, info windows, styles etc.
At high zoom levels, the map shows floor plans for indoor spaces which are available in select locations you mentioned.
As stated in the Maps SDK for Android documentation - If floor plan data is not available for a building that you would like to highlight in your application, you can:
Add floor plans to Google Maps directly. This will make your floor plans available to all users of Google Maps.
Display a floor plan as a ground overlay or tile overlay on your map. This will enable only users of your application to view your floor plans.
Hope this helps!
I am converting an Android app which uses Google Maps and the given longitude and latitude. I want to port the app to iOS and was thinking which maps system was better, either the native from Apple or the Google SDK. Apart from that I have some POI in Google which I would like to show also on the iOS equivalent.
Question is: Are the two coordinate system equal? So if I would put them on a map they would show the same location either on MapKit or Google Maps SDK.
sounds like the China GPS shift problem to me... otherwise, both Google Maps and Apple Maps (Tom Tom) should be in WGS84.
I am doing an app that allows users to get directions from one room to the next room of the same building and require the application to show the user indoor directions. I have tried and tested the Google Maps Intent which opened the Google Maps app and gave directions from one room to the next. I am required to not allow the user to open up an external map app and then receive directions. Instead they must use the Google Map built into my application. I was wondering if it's at all possible to do indoor directions on Google Maps Android API. Would genuinely appreciate any help I get. Thanks!
The Google Maps Android API v2 has options for indoor maps. See https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/ under 'Indoor Maps' for a quick example.
Of course, that doesn't prevent them from using an external app by itself, but it does let you provide them indoor map data in your app.
Well I think you should have to start by using internal sensors to navigate. Add an indoor map of the building so that you would know where you are at in the building.
Does the API give access to bike trails in Google maps? I need to be able to display existing bike maps on both Android and ios apps
There is no biking layer currently in maps v2, the only thing you can do is get biking directions.
I am creating an Android application that uses the Google Maps API. I've set the MapType to Satellite so it will not show any labels, but it still shows the Google Maps floor plans when I zoom into an area that has them. Is there a way to make sure they don't appear and I just get the satellite image?
The only options we have for removing labels is using setMapType(MAP_TYPE_SATELLITE) or setMapType(MAP_TYPE_NONE). Indoor plans can be removed with setIndoorEnabled(false).
