I am using 'getbearing()' in the same way as I've been successfully using 'getlatitude()' and 'getaltitude()',

I would like to know if there is an equivalent to javascript api v3: Styled Maps Because i need to change the roads color, and would like to mask road labels. Is it possible directly from the android v2 api? I tried to use javascript v3 api to fix the precedent problem but my app needs tilt like this too and it looks like no tilt for javascript v3 api :( . Finaly, do someone have a solution to: add tilt to javascript v3 api for ROADMAP or/and change the roads color in android v2 api Thank you :D Unfortunately, you are not able to do either of these at this point.
