I'm wondering if it is possible to move markers when using a MapView. I use a fullscreen MapView which has a few (not more than 5) markers which I would like to move and update by just moving the markers to a new position.

I'm currently developing an app for Android which uses google map service. Because users will be able to see thousands of markers I would like to load only those which are currently within the map bounds (i.e. when user look at specific map tile). I know how to do it with javascript/html. However, Android doesn't seem to provide any similar methods such as containsLatLng(latlng) or getBounds (I only found getLatitudeSpan and getLongitudeSpan, but don't know how can I use them in order to achieve the similar effect). Can anyone give me some hint on that?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an application that displays the location of moving items on a Google MapView. I need a way to update the position of the icons that represent the items (as well as change the facing of the icons every two seconds as updated data comes in). I currently have an activity in the app that extends MapActivity. On to this I have overlaid a static Overlay that draws some lines on the map and an ItemizedOverlay that draws a static icon.

View 10 Replies View RelatedGoogle maps shows my current position of several streets away. I know it says accurate to 400 meters so I'll live with it, but when it states my address as being a village several miles away it annoys the hell out of me, particularly as I live in a medium sized town.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just got my Behold 2 a couple of days ago and love it. Like ya'll, I hope they update droid to 2.0 or greater. The problem that I am having is with the GPS. I have turned it on in the settings, but it does not seem to work. I cannot locate my position while using google maps. I downloaded a weather app and it could not locate my position either. The icon lights up showing that the phone is searching but it does not find anything. I am thinking that I should trade this one in for another while I can. Anyone else have this problem? (I have been outside during clear weather during the searches.)
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen using Google maps, if I set a destination and navigate to it, the ma just sits there and doesn't move when I drive off, nor does my location on it.
However if I stay on Google maps, and drive about my position is updated correctly but obviously I can't navigate that way.
I tried mapquest and that works with no problem as an alternative, but what the he'll it's wrong with maps?
I've already cleared Google maps in the apps section?
Since I've had the phone now for a little over a month, about half the time that I start up Maps, it shows "My Position" as being at a house I lived at about a year ago, which is about an hour drive from where I live now. Back then, I was not with Verizon, but with ATT.
After a minute or so on Maps, it brings up my correct position. That changed about 4 days ago when I received a signal extender that was ordered from Verizon. Now, Maps starts up showing that I'm near a golf course in Canyon Lake, California. About 3 minutes later, it corrects itself.
I am running 2.2 now, and have App 2 SD that lets me move elligable apps to my sd card. I understood that the lastest version of google maps supported being installed to sd card? however my maps app seems to be up to date but is still in the phone memory, I cant move it using the App 2 SD app or by going to settings/applications/manage applications/maps, do I have to stop the app somehow to allow moving it, or can I uninstall it and reinstall the latest version to my sd card from the marketplace?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I load Google Maps and it first locates me, it centers the map on my location. Once I am travelling, the map does not follow my location. My location dot will go right off the map and I have to manually drag the map to see the next section I am now driving on.
Is there a setting to make Google Maps follow my position while driving?
Anyone know where the option to move apps is on 2.2? Apparently it is possible with google sky maps? As a side note, sky maps is really cool, thought it would be better though. Imagined being able to zoom in more and click on stars for information about them like on google sky on the PC.
View 2 Replies View RelatedOn my htc i was looking through display, i see g sensor calibration and i perform this calibration and after i do so the screen seems to have a delay when switch from the horizontal position to the vertical position. its weird because when i switch to the phone horizontally it switch normally and responds fast. but when i switch back to vertically it takes almost 7 seconds to actually switch back, sometimes it switch within 2 or 3 secs but never as quick as switching horizontally.

If you're already updated, shut down and repower (soft reboot) should do the trick. I actually updated my phone and after it started to do this. I restarted the phone plenty of times i even took the battery out for 30 seconds. It only does it when im texting on the browser, basically everything but the camera. He camera screen rotation is perfect. I even rooted the phone but i havent figured out how to use the root to fix the problem. Should i do a firmware update? Because i just did the htc software update.
I wanted to know how to add marker on a map? right now, i am trying to build an application that shows the persons current location, and i can follow it. but the problem is i don't have a pointer, so the changing is vague. what i want is to show the persons location with a marker(e.g some kind of bubble) and follow it.=

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have done my fair share of google searches for this and have come up empty.
I have a set of marker(25) that are being displayed on a MapView. I would love to be able to have it zoom to a reasonable level to make the markers readable.
I have lot of markers on my map. Zooming in each marker shows me a position. but zooming out the markers are overlapping each other and it is more difficult do determine the position of a marker.
Is there a way to scale the marker image depending on the zoom factor?
On my app I will be reading in from an XML file thats formatted something like this
<database> <db1>
<db> <name>name here</name> <street>street here</street> <long> longitude here</long> <lat> latitude here </lat> </db>
<db> <name> new name here </name> <street> new street here </street> <long> new longitude here </long> <lat> new latitude here </latitude> </db>
</db1> </database>
With this information I need to create Overlay Markers on the map (using latitude and longitude) and when they're clicked on I need it to display the name with the address. Depending on the conditions of where the map is, the number of markers will be different so I need a dynamic model for reading in these markers.
If I were to use Document methods like getElementById(String name) then I couldn't call getElementById("name") because it would likely try to call just the first <name></name> or give an unintended result.
Using Google Maps on Android does anyone have any ideas on how to load only markers that would be displayed on the current screen? I'm thinking about sending a request to a web service that returns the lat/lng for the relevant markers. But what would the parameters be that I could use to calculate if a given lat/lng is within the screen?

And:
CODE:.............
Which works, but the shadow below the marker has wrong offset when scaled. Also; i override the public boolean onTap(int index) in ItemizedOverlay to detect taps on the markers, but it seems inaccurate. I can click some range outside the marker and still trigger onTap...
As the object of this topic. is there a limit for the numebr of markers to show on a MapView at the same time with the Google API?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'd like to know if there is already a way to know from a given set of markers, the zoom I should apply to the map or do I have to do it my self? (this depends on the resolution so i expected to find it in MapView because it knows its boundaries.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to draw on a map using markers. The problem I'm having is when I try to add lots of them, then I can't get it to run. To illustrate my problem, let's say I want to draw a square made of 900 smaller squares (30x30).I'm trying to add the markers to an itemizedoverlay, then drawing it.
Code:
public class MyItemizedOverlay extends ItemizedOverlay{
private ArrayList<OverlayItem> mOverlays = new ArrayList<OverlayItem>();
private Context mContext;
