Adding Marker on Google Map with J2ME

Question

Hi,

I am developing an mobile application that search the user's location via GPS and display the location of the user on the google map.

I am aware that i can load a static map base on the coordinates. But is it possible to add a marker on the static map itself??

This link http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/J2ME_Google_Maps_API doesnt shows how to add a marker. So i am wondering is it possible to do so??

Any guidance will be greatly appreciated. THANKS

Kevin

Answer 1

If using the Google API, then there are many ways to add layers and markers; see that reference.

To use maps.google.com directly, then form the URL by adding the coordinates using the q parameter:

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=45.00,-121.00 (for +45.0 lat, -121.0 long)

Answer 2

Further to wallyk's suggestion, for a mobile application you may want to use the mobile version of Google Maps, as follows:

• http://maps.google.com/m/?q=35.89,14.42 (35.89 = latitude, 14.42 = longitude)
