General :: Open Local KML File In Google Maps In Offline Mode

Sep 7, 2013

i just registered here to find out if opening a KML file on my SD card with Google maps in offline mode can work. I am looking for an solution quite a time, but only found this thread on stackover.

Quote:

To load kml into Google Maps on Android without writing an app, you can create a little html file somewhere with a geo-uri link to the kml file and then click on that link in any Android web browser.

For example: suppose your kml file is located in /sdcard/overlay.kml then you write a geo-uri link like this:

Quote:

<html>
<head><title>Example KML link page using a geo-uri</title></head>
<body>
<a href="geo:0,0?q=file:///sdcard/overlay.kml">overlay.kml</a>
</body>
</html>

Clicking on the link will launch Maps and then Maps will attempt to load and your kml.

Be warned however that the Android version of Maps does not appear to handle the same version/range of kml elements as the desktop version (or desktop Google Earth).

a other thread is about editing the manifest file to get maps to open local KML files

Quote:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="h**p://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.lyold"

[Code]....

Any way to open local KML files with google maps in offline mode ? I want to open kml ONLY in google maps, i know there are several apps out there that support kml files....

HTC Desire :: Google Maps Not Talking

Aug 20, 2010

I have a Desire and have Google Maps installed, but when I want to go somewhere, it doesn't tell me my turns and what street to turn on. I only see the map and that's it. When maps was installed I had a popup that advised that I should download text to speech as well, which I did. I've watched on utube and the videos show turn by turn speech happening on the videos. I live in Canada. Is it not available here?

HTC Desire :: Google Maps Navigation Voice

Jul 14, 2010

Is there any way of changing the voice on these, the synthesised voice is AWFUL. Apart from not being able to pronounce English words correctly (E.g. Kew <queue> said as koo - I can't imagine what is must be like if I had to drive down Gloucester or Leicester) it's soooooo grating and harsh on my lugs.I've tried both English and American English settings but both are as bad as each other.Is there a download for new voices or one in the pipeline?I'm shocked this passed Google's quality control!

HTC Desire :: Impressed With The Google Maps / Navigation

May 24, 2010

I am REALLY impressed with the google maps navigation on my Desire, I have a TomTom and pay for maps quarterly and it's up to date but still does not know about the 4 new roads where i live and one is a few miles long. However Google Navigation knew about the new roads (1 extra before i knew, let alone tomtom)

How can they offer such great navigation for free when i have just paid ?74 for my tom tom map update and it's still out of date.! if htc/google can fix the issue of calls via blutooth whilst using HTC desire for navigation i tell you TOMTOM are history and thats hard to say after all these years!

HTC Desire :: Google Maps 3G Data Usage

Jun 1, 2010

My phone seemed to be using a lot of my months quota of data without me actually doing anything. I thought it may have something to do with google collecting location data in the background so turned off 'use wireless networks' in location settings. This seems to have fixed the problem but is there a way of having this setting enabled so the phone only uses 3G when in an application rather than using my data usage without being in any particular program?

HTC Desire :: No 'Favourites' Stored In Google Maps

Sep 9, 2010

I'm new here and new to the HTC Desire but understand most of the Apps that can be used on this neat phone. One BIG niggle I have is that the Google Maps App on this phone does not allow you to save 'favourites' or 'starred' places on the phone, like your home or work place if you use the phone for navigation from A to B. I have searched here to see if this topic has been mentioned before but cannot find anything. Looking at Google Maps Mobile 'help' it does say that you can 'star' destinations and save addresses in your 'favourites' but do you think I can, well no.
