I am trying to create an Android App
for our field sales men to be able to Add and Updating Map Data using Android Apps to
Open Street Maps (OSM)
Can you kindly point me to the appropriate OSM Android Classes to be able to do the same
Thanks a lot in Advance
I am trying randomly with the OSM classes
I am relatively new and not able to figure it out from the online documentation

I tried to run the indoor_map_app example in navigate\flutter but it shows a blank map, How can I load my own map to the example or get the venue id to search for it and load my own indoor map in the application ?
Did the HERE team already create the indoor map for you? Then you should have received a map ID (venue ID) which you can also enter inside the example application.
But just for your information, I think it's hard to find that info on the HERE website: You are just able to use indoor maps if you have a contract with HERE. Then you can provide them floor plans of your building and they will create an indoor map for you.
I'm trying to visualize GPS points on PowerBI maps offline and wonder what would be the best way to achieve that.
Ideally, I'd like to see the offline mapping to have the same effect as directly using the "Map" visualization - GPS points (in data as longitude and latitude columns) plotted on the Bing map. However, our team will need this function offline, because our users are usually under bad internet connections. Also we are wary about Bing's data sharing policy as our GPS information is highly confidential.
So far I've tried PowerBI's shape map function, which allows me to upload a TopoJSON file and use it offline. However, it looks like shape map is better used for highlighting a region on the map, instead of plotting individual GPS points - shape map doesn't seem to allow longitude/latitude. Besides that, shape map does not have as much information like Bing map, such as showing city/road names and etc.
Is there a way to visualize GPS points offline on PowerBI, but still get enough information about what are around the GPS points? I'm referring to PowerBI here but all things I've been doing are on PowerBI Desktop. I don't plan to publish on the web as this will be my company's internal tool. Thanks in advance!
The built-in mapping functions such as the Map visual powered by the Bing maps API and the Eris mapping do not have an offline mode. Both require an online connection. Depending on the level of detail that you require, I would suggest looking into an R or Python visual with one of the mapping libraries. Here are some examples of the R mapping libraries. But getting the map json files into Power BI will also be an issue and may not meet your requirements on the level of detail that you need.
Also we are wary about Bing's data sharing policy as our GPS information is highly confidential.
I wouldn't worry about it, Bing & Power BI mapping is used by a wide number of organisation including heath and military customers. Your confidential data is more at risk with some one copying your Power BI report and sticking it on a USB drive.
However, our team will need this function offline, because our users are usually under bad internet connections
I would try some other options for offline mapping, for example Google Maps has the ability to down load a section of the map for offline/bad connections. I've downloaded the whole UK and its about 100meg.
Hope that helps
If I search a query in google maps for example "carlton victoria australia" then it will give me a map of the region with the border around that area.
My questions are:
Is there a way to get list of all regions from the google map api for
certain province or country?
Can I combine the region information for example, change the color and also add some infowindow on top of the region?
What kind of level of the region that I can get from the api (district, subdistrict, village)?
Currently Google Maps JavaScript API doesn't expose any boundaries of geographic features. There is very old feature request in the public issue tracker to add this functionality, however it looks like Google didn't set high priority on this:
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/35816953
Feel free to star the public feature request to express your interest and subscribe to further updates from Google.
You can get polygons from other sources and add them to Google maps as additional layers.
The nice workaround to get polygons in GeoJSON format from OpenStreetMap is described in the following answer:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/40172098/5140781
So, if you download the GeoJSON you will be able to add it to map using the data layer and its loadGeoJson() method:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/datalayer#load_geojson
You can style colors of GeoJSON objects and create info windows. Just read the aforementioned documentation.
I hope this helps!
My team is creating a map of wheelchair-accessible travel destinations.
A few months ago I discovered that Google developers added finally the option to mark every place on the map as wheelchair-accessible. We really want to use this function in our app and the web site, allowing our users to sort all accessible places and to show only accessible places in our region. Unfortunately we haven't been able to figure out how to do this.
Does anybody know how to filter destinations this way using the Google Maps API?
We are using google Map API for plotting multiple location in android mobile application.
We want to use Waze MAP instead of google Map. Is that possible to use waze map and plot locations on it through my android application.
It's an old question, but I'll answer it anyway.
Waze provides a Transport SDK, but that doesn't include a way to embed the Waze map into your own application.
So I'm afraid that what you are asking is not possible at this time. In case you are only having one person using the app at the same time, you could consider adding the points as favorites on one account and just sharing that account. But I don't think it's possible to share a Waze account on multiple phones, nor is it possible to export and import multiple favorites at the same time as far as I'm aware.
