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.

I am considering extending an application with HERE maps API calls (geocoding, routing, and maybe others). The application allows to select providers for different services and mix them. For example, using map tiles from one provider and showing search results from another one. I wonder, whether it is allowed to do so with HERE REST API call results. For example, show route polyline and use routing instructions from HERE and mix them with Mapbox GL tiles.
Question stems from https://legal.here.com/en-gb/terms/acceptable-use-policy, "Layering and Modifications" which seems to me prohibiting such use. In contrast, Is it possible to use here's Maps API combined with another base map (e.g., Bing, Google, OSM)? response states that it would be OK.
While I can make a separate profile that would enable HERE APIs only with HERE map tiles, I would prefer to allow users to mix providers as it is now. Currently, only HERE map tiles are supported, but those should allow me to layer other data on top, as far as I understand the allowed use terms.
In contrast to reply at Stack Overflow linked above, reply in Knowledge Base states that showing geocoding results on top of other providers tiles is prohibited.
I am working on a GSM based tracking device . i have successfully able to plot the approximate location on google maps using Gmap.net library for windows application and google maps api for android application.I want to mainly do the tracking of the Rail coach .with my current device i gets the approximate location near the railway track.I want to shift that Location /Maker on the near by Rail track.i need help and suggestions on how to achieve this task.please help.
Afaik the gmap.net library does not provide any feature around pinning tracking data, so I guess some manual work might be necessary.
The naive approach is to map your track on your own, google maps etc. is fine. I fact I've used gmap.net once itself to create exactly that.
Then all you need to do is some math (useful key word here is 'shortest path'), to locate the closest matching tracking point and use interpolation to distinguish your anticipated position on the track. You can also add some plausibility checks to speed up the whole process such as "knowing" where on your track you've already been.
I've got experience in real-time tracking for TV events and can go in deeper detail if you want.
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?
I am developing a node.js application which (amongst other things) will recieve location information from remote users and allow them to interact with each other via the server.
I'm using the Google Tracks API because I like the idea of being able to track users when appropriate, set up geofencing to define my coverage areas and to visualise what's happening.
The Google tracks API documentation is reasonable, however I'm not sure how I would go about actually visualising the entities and geofencing I have setup on a map - this is not something that I can find covered elsewhere.
Ideally I would be able to simply embed a map into a webpage which could link with my Tracks API account and show all of the fencing and entities. Another nice feature would be the ability to 'draw' a geofence, is there anything out there which would allow this?
Thanks :-)
Tracks API does not currently offer any kind of server-side rendering for your Tracks data, so the best approach is to use the API to retrieve the crumbs (or just current location) and render them using polylines (or just markers) in the Google Maps API. You can similarly get all your geofences and render them using polygons.
Because this is done clientside, you'll probably want to limit your data to a reasonable number (depending on the browser/OS combination, something like O(thousands) of vertices).
All this assumes that your app meets the terms of service of the Maps API so check those out as well.
I realize that the question is pretty complicated and may require much research. Hope anybody can help me to get useful resources to achieve my goal.
I want to have a Google or Bing map on my ASP.NET 4 application (C#) to display all my logged in users as points on the map.
I understand that this involves five major problems
Get the location of the device (most likely standard laptop with IE9 browser) based on its unique IP address.
Integrate Google or Bing map with ASP.NET or Silverlight application.
Display the right portion of the map with the right Zooming depending on logged-in users locations.
Finally, mark the addresses as points on the map.
Note that the locations points should be dynamically reflected when any of the locations is changed.
The database is implemented using SQL SERVER 2005/2008R2
There are geo location services that can give you the latitude and longitude given an ip address.
As you mention you would be storing these in a database, getting all the current users would be simple database call.
Integrating a google map into a html page is very simple. You would only have to emit the necessary javascript from your page.
You should mark the points on the map first.
Google maps api has calls to fit the map to show all current points(fitBounds). I am guessing bing would have something similar.
To reflect the current points, you would have to fresh your locations from the database. I highly recommend an ajax call that returns json and using that to replot the points.
