I need to develop an application for Android that uses the Google Maps API.
I the need to use a marker that show me my position and rotation exactly like the one shown in the figure (Link: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Sy61Gjk7aKA/Tw2Lo553AiI/AAAAAAAAAVI/oJ7tiGb-lts/s1600/2.jpg).
Is it possible to realize?
I wrote an answer to a similar question: Google Map Heading Marker or Indicator
I haven't tried it in 3D, but there's no reason why it shouldn't work.

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Mose of the libraries and tutorials are outdated and they are 4+ years old also not stable.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.

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).
I am trying to reproduce the same satellite view as the Google Maps application on Android.
This is a picture of the satellite view (it shows the main streets/roads highlighted) in Maps application: http://i.stack.imgur.com/YCkLL.png
But using the layers of the Google Maps API i can not achieve the same result.
I want to show the main street/routes roads highlighted like the Maps application. I search all the possible options but i did not found nothing that fit my needs.
Is there is something i am missing? Or i have to develop a new layer to show the roads like that?
Thanks!
did you try to use the "HYBRID" map type?
myMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);
it should fix your problem
Is it possible to take a screenshot of the google map programmatically in android that is currently outside of my screen/viewing window.
It is sadly not capable of doing that right now. But you can hard code it. there is a read the location method (and you can add distance or radius d to that to find other locaitons and record them)on google maps api
I would like to develop an android application using Google Maps API v.2 is it possible to remove the default markers placed by Google such as bus markers.
Sorry for the basic question but this is my first time developing an android application.
is it possible to remove the default markers placed by Google such as bus markers.
There are no default markers. Whatever "markers" you are seeing are part of the map tiles, and cannot be removed.
What is your aim ? You dont use them, you dont need them to remove!!! In maps you have to show a POI like as a marker. Otherwise it does not make a sense.
You can replace the icon with a transparent drawable... :)
I am working on making a interactive campus map. I am wanting to take an image (below) and overlay it onto Google maps and then add interactive points of interests. I am not seeing how to add or merge the image to the map. Can this be done? Are there any examples out there I missed?
If you want to replace the google map background.
From my experience, I could say no. It can't be done
But if you want to make it like transparent you can put Your map on top of google map and just set transparent.
However, somebody already been done this before. you might got some idea if you see this
