I am developing a simple maps application that displays map in street mode. I want to display street name and a snapshot when a particular street is selected. Is it possible to get the street snapshot as is displayed by the native maps application using android APIs.
Also on native maps app when we select the street a 3D view of the street is shown. How can I add this 3D street view to my app.

When I'm at work, street view can be fun for filler time. Or if I'm looking to go on vacation it's handy to see what's around the area.
But really tho what are you guys using street view for on your phone other than to show you friends who own Iphones how cool it it? Are there functions that I'm missing?
To me it almost seems useless for a handheld device. Even if it moved real time as your walking all it will show you is what you would see right now ... only 6 month to a year ago.
So my question .... is anyone using street view for anything useful .... or am I missing something.
It used to work but now it has gone missing. GM has updated to 4.2.0 (#4210) and i wonder if that removed it?
It's not in the Layer menu. If I hold finger down on a location it doesn't come up in a menu from that either So how to I get it back?
Is there any possibility to highlight a street using the Google Maps API? I want to set a color on a street, similar as it is done in the navigation function of Google Maps.
If there is no generic implementation for this - and I guess there probably isn't - is there any good/simple solution for this? The only thing I could think of was reverse geocoding coordinates and see if those coordinates resolve to the street I want to color and if they did I would then draw some color on to those points. But this is a really ugly solution.
My galaxy S2 was working fine. I used google play a couple of days ago without any problem and today when I tried to update my app systemPanel from google play (or any other app), I got the error:
Update for 'systemPanel app/Task Manager' could not be downloaded due to an error. (error retrieving info from server [RPC:S-5:AEC-0])
what exactly does it mean? I googled it and tried the clear data/cache of google play/google frame and it did not work.
I have also deleted then added back my gmail account and it did not work.
I couldn't install any app either. I got the same error when I tried to install any app from Google play store.
It would seem that they've just rolled out their new Street View for practically the whole of the UK. So my question is: How long do you think it'll be until they release Google Navigation for the UK??

View 3 Replies View RelatedProb a noob question or maybe I'm just not seeing it but in google maps, how do I get street view? I can't seem to find it for the life of me. Also, there's apparently a bicycle directions layer option which I can't seem to find.
View 2 Replies View RelatedPer the title, there are new versions of Maps and Street View in the market. The Maps update is just to add walking directions I think and the street view was a more polished update. Street view doesn't work after install, at least on my Epic. I open maps, pick a road and long-click on it. A balloon pops up saying "Loading address" for about 30 seconds then give me a pop-up error that says "Data Connection Lost, Retrying" But, data is working just fine on the phone everywhere else. Try rebooting the phone after install, it helped. Still some errors but much better than before. It is awesome when it works. Try compass mode.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've seen many people complaining that their Google Navigation doesn't read street names anymore. But I was wondering if the reverse is possible. In other words, is there a way to stop Google Navigation from reading street names?
So for example,
Currently: "Turn left onto Lehigh Street in 500 m"
I want it to be: "Turn left in 500 m"
Is there a way to disable the street name TTS without rooting?

Is there an a Google Latitude application that I should have or do I access everything through Google Maps? When I go the www.google.com/latitude on my G1, it offers me the option of "launching" Latitude but it just takes me to Google Maps. From there, I cannot see the locations of my Google "friends" (who have agreed to show location), neither does my own location show up on the Latitude homepage on the web (I have settings turned to "detect my location automatically").

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am writing an application (on v1.0) that needs to search Google maps for the nearest facility to my current location e.g. What are the nearest bike shops. I looked at googlenav.Search but this has been deprecated for some reason. I did look at the Qype APIs but gave up early as these were difficult to use.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to display GoogleMaps in my application, but instead of map I just get an empty screen with crosses and Google logo in the bottom left corner. I'm using Internet permission in manifest file, just as the library "com.google.android.maps". I have also supported my application with Android Maps API key and I placed it in layout as android:apiKey value for MapView, but it still can't display the map.
main.xml:
<com.google.android.maps.MapView android:id="@+id/myMapView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:enabled="true" android:clickable="true"
android:apiKey="07vNiwHa094tV14bUdyK0VTtXx0eeAZlk6WdKXQ" />
manifest.xml:
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" /> ...
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
I have used two different API Key values, regarding whether I signed the application with debug or my own created keystore, but it didn't work with none of them.
For some reason I cannot get my first maps application to work. I have gone though the full process of getting the MD5 fingerprint for the debug.keystore, registered for the key on the website, put it into the xml file. Even had changed my computer's locale to US English. I also signed the application with my private key and pushed it via ADB to the emulator. All attempts so far resulted only in the grey Google Maps background with the tiles not loading. JAVA_HOME environment variable points to my JDK file. Not sure what else I can do. Even upgraded from SDK 1.1 to 1.5. No improvement. I am really stuck here. I am running WIN XP, Eclipse ganymede, SDK 1.5 r2, with the latest ADT. Here is my class file code: package com.mellagio.maps; import com.google.android.maps.MapActivity; import com.google.android.maps.MapController; import com.google.android.maps.MapView; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have an android application which allows the user to open up google maps or navigator to show a certain address. This functionality was working in the past, but now I get the following error and the app crashes:
ERROR/AndroidRuntime(2165):
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException:
No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW
dat=google.navigation:q=MCNAMARA+TERMINAL+ROMULUS+MI+48174 }
The two intents I'm using are-
1) For Map:
String uri = "geo:0,0?q=MCNAMARA+TERMINAL+ROMULUS+MI+48174";
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri));
startActivity(i);
2) For Navigator:
String uri = "google.navigation:q=MCNAMARA+TERMINAL+ROMULUS+MI+48174";
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri));
startActivity(i);
I have a couple of images on available to my program. They are parts of jigsaw puzzle (with rectangular pieces though). I wanted the look and feel similar to that of google maps in android.
One way I could implement was to create a set of ImageViews and keep recycling them, as the user pans the image in any direction. However, to me that appears like a brute force method. Is there any alternative approach to implement such kind of application? Or rather how is google maps implemented? A set of Imageviews ?
I tried to use google maps on my application but when I launched the application all I saw is a blank grid.By the way google didn't accept the fingerprint which is :
F2:06:12:30:88:2C:10:98:88:BF:AB:E2:F3:F7:44:15:2A :48:99:7E
So I shortened it to :F2:06:12:30:88:2C:10:98:88:BF:AB:E2:F3:F7:44:15
Just tested it out, I sent a bing map to the phone and it opened up bing in the browser. Was hoping to at least have an option to 'open with' google maps. Any workarounds, you creative people? I wish chrometophone would auto-convert bing maps to google maps on the fly.

Anyone else having problems with the Google Maps App on the EVO? Whenever I try to view my location, zoom in or out, or drag the map around, all I get is the white pixilated screen. Sometimes it will load, sometimes it won't. Sometimes it takes over 3 minutes to load. I don't understand because I've checked my 3G connection and it's strong - I'm assuming the phone connects to the internet to download the maps. I used to have a Hero and it wasn't this slow.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI live in Sweden and the application is on my phone, but does not work. That is odd because it doesn't seem like it would be that difficult to do, especially if Google Maps already gives turn-by-turn directions. I'm guessing it might have to do with the language or pronunciation of the streets. I don't mind using it in English, though.
