I want to show the user nearest landmarks on the android phone. I can read the GPS coordinates, but don't know how to get landmarks using the GPS coordinates. Is there any easily manageable way? Could someone please put some light on this?
Are you doing this through Google Maps? Is there something in the Google Maps API that lets you get landmarks?

I want to receive roads information from Google Maps API like the regular street info.
For example, in the Google Maps application, you can see the traffic in each road. Is there any way to receive this info in data and not just view on the screen?
I need to get information such name, traffic, speed-limit and point of start and end.
I think about something similar to the existing streets info, I will give a location (long,lat) and the system will return the nearest roads around (maybe crossroads also).
Is there any way to get this information with Google Maps API? If not, there is another service that can provide this info?
I tried to find some details but I can't find anything...
You can use Google Directions API for this. It provides you closest directions, distance and time to travel. I also recommend using Google-Directions-Android library for parsing all that stuff, it really saves a lot of time.
I have a problem: I need to calculate the routing within a mall that has a plan registered in google maps, but with the direction API can not get the indoor routing. To be precise if I am away from the mall and I want to calculate the route to an internal area, I am guided to the outside of the mall, while I would like my app would calculate a route for the section inside the building . To do this I currently use the Google Maps Android API v2 and the Direction api with json output. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? sorry for my bad English
I have exactly the same problem; compting a route (with mode=walking) between two points that are both inside a mall gives a path that starts, goes and ends out of the building.
The closest similar path found on Google Maps (HTML version, from a browser) is the "bike" one...
I am a new Android developer. I am developing an application about map using Google Map. I created a Polygon on the map and I want to detect through GPS when the position is within Polygon but I do not know how to detect it.

I am trying to develop ATM finder application in Android. I am equipped with how to get my location and to access map. Can someone help me to find out ATMs on map?
Use the Google Maps API to find nearby places. One of the supported types is "atm".
You can use Google PLACE api...
Which will allow you to find nearest ATM, HOSPITALS... etc..
You can get LATITUDE and LONGITUDE from its service and can display in your map
here is link Hope this will help you
I have an app which stores co-ordinates. I am using Google maps to show the location to allow full use of the maps app. I am using the intent call and placing the co-ordinates in the q=xxxxxxxxx,xxxxxxxxx part.
This works, however when Google maps shows the location it often finds a point on the road, sometimes a little distance from the actual co-ordinates.
Is there a way to get maps to show the actual point?
