Hi, 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 s...

Hi, I'm playing around with Google maps for the first time, so I looked at a nice tutorial over at CSS Tricks: http://css-tricks.com/google-maps-slider/ I like working with jQuery better than pure JS, and this tutorial makes a nice way to click on a place in a list to display the marker in the map. I liked it that way, but I need to ad...

For some reason the Location object being passed into the method is null. My question is, why is it null? Does it pass in a null object if it cannot acquire a location? My GPS is on and I...
I'm implementing a Google Map on a website. One requirement is to display a directions box, which contains the same fields as the one Google Maps uses, and which pops up when the user clicks a button. I'm aware that the Google Maps API allows you to draw a line between two different locations. Is it possible to display the directions ...
Hi, I'm working on what it looked to be like a very simple feature which is causing a little bit of a headache. I work with a GIS and we integrate it with Google Maps.

My application uses a large number of MapView screens and I'm trying to figure out how to manage the API key between the debug environment and production. Apparently, there is no way to change the debug application key in Eclipse so I must use a debug map API key in that environment. Conversely, there is no way to export a package for be...

The geocoding is not the main part of the app and it is not advertised to be a geocoding app. Is it ok to do this? Someone mentioned that google has an iphone terms of service, but I c...
