Android : Do Maps Always Need GPS?
Oct 20, 2009
Just want to make sure I'm not missing something because I'm having trouble making this work for some reason. If I use a map, do I need to setup the LocationManager and GPS criteria and all?
I just need a map to paint on. I'm building an activity that displays location data collected and stored in SQLite...basically showing the user where they were (it's more complicated than that, but that is the essence). I can do this without needing to start up the whole GPS thing right?

I ask because I began using My Tracks a couple of weeks ago...very cool. I logged onto Google Maps from my office and there were the "tracks" I had saved. I never took action to upload them, they were just there I suppose as a function of allowing Google to sync. BUT I created and saved a map on the PC expecting to be able to see it on my phone, but it didn't happen.

I'm going to be visiting London in April. Presently I'm planning on buying a UK sim card for my MyTouch 3G to use while I'm there.
However, I think my biggest need for data will be for finding my way around London. Does Google Maps work over there (I've somehow gotten the impression that it doesn't), or is there another map app that works with the GPS?

I've got a new HTC Desire and I'm loving finally having GPS functionality on my phone and use a few apps regularly which are very useful. Can you recommend any other ones that make good use out of GPS and mapping functions. The ones I use are..
Google Maps - Needs no introduction. Just amazing. Google My Tracks - Another amazing one. Records your runs, bike rides, car journeys, etc. Plots them on a map and gives you things like average speed, top speed, altitude. This one has made me actually want to go out for a jog or bike ride.

I have several Android devices and each of them has different version of Google Maps: 3.0 in HTC G1, 3.1.1 in HTC Dream and 3.4 in Nexus one and Motorola Droid. When i use the following code: Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("geo:0,0? q=Starbucks"); I get different behavior on the devices: On the latest versions of Google Maps application I see a map the term centered around my current location with a reasonable zoom radius while in Google Maps 3.0 I see list of results and button to the map. Is there a way to get the same behavior on all devices? of course i prefer the behavior of the latest versions

Incorporating the Maps API into your application is free as long as the app is also free. Otherwise, you need a commercial license. A commercial license for $10K is a heck of a lot of $1.99 apps. Does anyone have any insight on alternative payment structures for the Maps API. Excerpt from terms.html: 9.1 Free, Public Accessibility to Your Maps API Implementation. Your Maps API Implementation must be generally accessible to users without charge. You may require users to log in to your Maps API Implementation if you do not require users to pay a fee. Unless you have entered into a separate written agreement with Google or obtained Google's written permission, your Maps API Implementation must not:
(a) require a fee-based subscription or other fee-based restricted access; or (b) operate only behind a firewall or only on an internal network (except during the development and testing phase).

I have some trouble testing my Android application which includes the google maps API. The ooficial API example worked just fine but if I copy the code into my own project it keeps saying: "The application has stopped unexpectedly". I looked up the key in the keystore several times and registered it with google. Even tried reinstalling the SDK.
CODE:.......
There are some exceptions following but none pointing to my code, everything in background processes.

I found that Google Maps didn't exist in Android 1.0 release version. So I tried to put Maps.apk/GoogleApps.apk/Street.apk into /system/app but it didn't run. So I'd like to kown if Maps.apk from SDK 1.0 can run on Android 1.0 ? What modification should I do?

Can somebody please explain this to me. I have been looking through a number of forums relating to Android with maps (google). It costs money to use maps with tmobile as a data connection is required. That's fair enough. But some people say GPS is free (albeit heavy on the phone battery). What use is GPS without some form of maps?

Is there a different voice synthesiser that can be used for google maps navigation? To start with her mispronunciations and bizarre inflections were a source of amusement but now it is doing everyone's head in. I think I'd rather have Stephen Hawking than this deranged ladybot.

If you compare how the map looks in MapView and how it looks in Google Maps, you'll notice that in Google Maps the map is "bigger". The texts are bigger, roads wider etc. Can I achieve this in my MapView?

I'm currently using the HTC Aria on AT&T 200mb/month plan. I normally use a good chunk of that a month already. I was wondering if there is an app that allows me to download maps that can be used off line and has gps turn by turn navigation on the downloaded maps. So essentially I'm looking for a navigation app which does not use data.

Google maps api is great for developing location based services for mobile phones. But for some reason the use of it is restricted for me in a special project.E.g. if your project is in conflict with the general terms and conditions of google it is not recommended to use google maps API.In my app (android, iOS) i want to display a location on a map by retrieving gps information. Overall the api should offer a similar scope of operation like google maps API.Which alternatives do you know? Maybe there are open source api's?

I obtained a production maps API key. I then signed the .apk with the production keystore cert, but when I load it onto my phone there is no maps data. I do, however, get maps data with the dev key. What am I missing here?????? This is literally blocking my release here.
