Android :: Showing The Google Maps Reticle?

Sep 20, 2010

I'v encountered a problem with Google Maps on Android. In my app I have a location-chooser where the user navigates to his desired location to save the exact street location. In order for the user to actually see what street he is no (and not just the general area) I need to mark the middle of the map clearly.

The problem is that the reticle (the little circle marking the center) from Google Maps usually won't show. It appears at the most 1 out of 10 times I open the map, probably less. This happens regardless if I add other overlays or if I just show the map as is. I am aware of ReticleDrawMode and have tried setting it to DRAW_RETICLE_OVER, but this does not seem to work (and it should be the default already).

Have I missed something here? I have searched for the problem and from what I have see the problem seems to be common, but I havn't seen a solution for actually forcing it to always show, only for hiding it.

If the reticle is broken, does anyone have a good suggestion for how to create a custom one? As I said the the user will navigate the map, so I can't just do a normal overlay on a fixed point of the map, and the map also does not take up the full screen so drawing something over it is a bit ugly (although I guess that will be my last resort).

HTC Hero :: Google Maps Takes So Long To Update When Showing Directions / What's Wrong With It?

Aug 10, 2010

Since I installed (might just be a coincidence but I did update Maps via the market) 2.1, Google Maps takes so long to update when showing directions. For example I'll be in one street and have walked to another and it will still show me in the previous street after 30 seconds or so later. Also I noticed today when using it, that the arrow wouldn't move and just stays in one spot but the arrow does change direction though.

I could have sworn it wasn't like this before and I could just use it like a real gps unless I've overlooked something.

Also I get the "Current location temporarily unavailable" message all the time when searching my location unless I tick the Use Wireless Networks in the Location settings of the Hero. When I had 1.5, I didn't need to do this and just used GPS satellites.

What am I doing wrong here?

Sep 18, 2010

I got my son the Droid 2 and i have the Incredible. He just got his license and part of my reason for getting him the phone was the gps. I want to know where he is. How EXACTLY (and i mean step by step) do i set that up on the Droid 2 so its more accurate? We are always showing at different locations even when we are side by side! My phone shows me in the correct place but his shows him where he was a few hours ago and sometimes just shows a few miles away even when he wasnt there!

Android :: Google Latitude Application For Access Through Google Maps?

Mar 5, 2009

Is Google Latitude available in the UK or not, because it doesn't seem to be working for me? I have received the RC9 update for G1 and have Google Maps 3.0. 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").

General :: Google Maps App Doesn't Sync Names With Google Bookmarks

Apr 17, 2013

I'm using the latest version of Google Maps on JB 4.2.2 [Nexus 4]..I noticed that I cannot edit the names of my locations in "My Places" in the phone app. So I used Google Bookmarks (google.com/bookmarks) from my PC to edit/rename My Places. However, the names do not sync or carry through to the Google Maps app on the phone. The names in the app are still the generic names, coordinates or street names.

Is there any way to change the names of My Places and get them to sync with the phone app? Really baffling!

Android :: Google Maps App

Jun 10, 2010

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

Android : GPS Without Google Maps

Apr 8, 2009

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.

Android :: Alternatives To Google Maps API

Nov 24, 2010

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've found on the net it can be done with this intent : Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("geo:"+lat +","+lng)); where lat and lng are the latitude and longitude. Unfortunately, I get a SecurityException :'(. Can someone tell me which permission I should ask ?

Android :: GPS Navigation Without Google Maps

Nov 1, 2009

I'd like to show you off-road GPS navigator utility, created for active people. I like no-map Garmin GPS handy navigators, so I created software, that has most functions of such navigator. TripComputer records tracks of your trips and stores your interesting waypoints. You can view them on map view, see stats like distances, speed, time, altitute graph, bearing, azimuth, and many more. Also, if you have internet connection, you can send your selected waypoints and find waypoints sent by others,to use in you own trips.

At this time, TripComputer does not use maps - because in off-road areas, maps are useless. However, topo maps will be supported in future versions. Also, I'm working on GPX files and some geocaching support.
