Give double value to Geopoint in GoogleMap overlays

Question

I want to point to a Google map location using overlay. For this purpose latitude and longitude values will be assigned to a GeoPoint, but it only accepts int values.

Answer 1

Since GeoPoint accepts latitudes and longitudes in microdegrees, simply create your point like so:

GeoPoint point = new GeoPoint((int)(latitude * 1e6),
                              (int)(longitude * 1e6));
