How do I apply the overlay to draw a line in maps Android?

What SDKs (iOS or Android) for maps do you know?

  • Can you recommend an SDK (either for iOS or Android) for maps with the license which allows caching of maps to use offline on users’ smartphones? For our purposes we need the license to allow travelers to cache maps of the regions they choose on their phones; if they are without cellular connections we want them to be able to use precached maps for operations. Ideally the sdk would allow us to put layers and objects on maps and it would cover main European US and Asian tourist spots. We think that in our case only open solutions will be suitable because licensed map services (Google’s, Nokia’s, Microsoft’s etc) restrict caching.

  • Answer:

    You'll need to compare cloudmade and mapquest open API's for your specific application I think, the licencing on both should meet your criteria. http://open.mapquestapi.com/ and http://developers.cloudmade.com/projects/show/iphone-sdk

You may find more success with an open source GIS and then using it with free data instead. This will greatly widen your options.
