<h4>Add maps to your app</h4>
|
|
<p>With Google Maps Android API v2, you can embed maps into an activity
|
|
as a fragment with a simple XML snippet. The new Maps offer exciting features such as 3D maps;
|
|
indoor, satellite, terrain, and hybrid maps;
|
|
vector-based tiles for efficient caching and drawing; animated transitions; and much more.
|
|
<a class="external-link" href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/map">Add
|
|
a map object</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>Customize the map</h4>
|
|
<p>Add markers onto the map to indicate special points of interest for your users.
|
|
You can define custom colors or icons for your map markers to
|
|
match your app's look and feel. To further enhance the app, draw polylines
|
|
and polygons to indicate paths or regions, or provide complete image overlays.
|
|

|
|
markers</a>.</p>
|
|
</a>
|
|
|
|
<h4>Control the user's view</h4>
|
|
<p>Give your users a different view of the world with the ability to control the rotation, tilt,
|
|
zoom, and pan properties of the "camera" perspective of the map.
|
|
<a class="external-link" href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/views">Change
|
|
the view</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>Add Street View to your app</h4>
|
|
<p>Embed Street View into an activity and let your users explore the world
|
|
through panoramic 360-degree views. Programmatically control the zoom and
|
|
orientation (tilt and bearing) of the Street View camera, and animate the
|
|
camera movements over a given duration.
