maps

I'm trying to make an Android application that displays a map of a Park and when a user taps on a certain location on the map, the application goes to another screen. Problem is that currently my map of the park is in a .jpg format. Which mapping API is best for my application and how would I go about converting this .jpg map into a format that is accepted by the API. Thanks! Adding an overlay for Google maps with a custom map is pretty easy to do, the sample code works out of the box. To overlay the map you need to have a rough idea of the gps coordinates of the park. There is the sample code

is there any c++/c open source implementation? i got two point clouds and would like to match them.. any ideas? Give LibICP a shot, although I personally have not used it so far. http://www.cvlibs.net/software/libicp.html EDIT: I tried it by myself, not a great experience -- the library is short of documentation and example code. Also, I didn't receive much help from the authors too. I wrote a article about accelerated line search on ddj.com some time ago. I dont exactly understand what you want to do but the approach shown there divides the whole area into "quadrants" of a given search width.

I try to invoke the navigation from my applicatoin. I call with this query: String link = "geo:" + posInfo.getLatitude() + "," + posInfo.getLongitude(); Intent navigateIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(link)); Intent chooser = Intent.createChooser(navigateIntent, ctx.getString(R.string.navigate_intent_chooser_title)); ctx.startActivity(chooser); The intent chooser displays 2 apps: GoogleMaps and Waze. The navigation with Waze works perfectly but with Google maps it doesn't work. I get the map displayed but no navigation instructions. If I use GoogleMaps directly then I can

I have a question regarding the draw() method of the Overlay class in Android Maps. When I move map, method draw() get called a few times (from 4 to 13). It's a problem for me, because this method must repaint my route with 70000+ points, and this is a lot resources. I can't find description for this problem, but when I use code examples from any sources, I have same problem. This is the normal behaviour. When you move the map, you expect it to move smoothly and to achive that any map movement is slipt in smaller movement steps. For the sake of consitency, the draw() method on the overlay is

This demo program (intended to be run in an IPython notebook; you need matplotlib , mpl_toolkits.basemap , pyproj , and shapely ) is supposed to plot increasingly large circles on the surface of the Earth. It works correctly as long as the circle does not cross over one of the poles. If that happens, the result is complete nonsense when plotted on a map (see below cell 2) If I plot them "in a void" instead of on a map (see below cell 3) the results are correct in the sense that, if you removed the horizontal line going from +180 to -180 longitude, the rest of the curve would indeed delimit the
