mapzen / android Goto Github PK

Turn by turn navigation text-to-speach is alerting me just as I'm approaching an intersection for a turn instead of 500 feet before. A little more heads up would be helpful :)

Currently we require "© Mapzen" in our terms but it seems like that is something we want to change.

Open Questions:

• What should this look like?
  • Expandable icon?
  • Text? "Mapzen"
  • A logo?
  • Where does OSM have to be?
• Where should this link to?
  • mapzen.com/rights?

My proposal for v0 would be a small text link just saying "Mapzen" pointing to /rights. In a later version we could make something expandable. We update the legal docs to have something specific to mobile and say you should use our default implementation.

When I start a Mapzen Activity from the samples list on my device, I get the following exception.

In short: Android cannot inflate mapzen.android.MapView because there has been a stack overflow.

I run Android 4.4.4.

If I find out anything further about this bug, I will post it here.

Moving this to: mapzen/eraser-map#207

Hello, I am looking for Android library which can render OpenStreetMap vector data. I need such library for rendering offline maps. I had look at MapBox and their offline maps inside their library are closed source. And it very often lags. But I found your library and I like it. I like your idea about open source and open data. Now I use in my Android app Google Maps API, but they are not supporting offline maps nor vector tiles. So I need mapping library to replace it, because I am planning to do paid version of my app with offline maps. I found this issue in tangram-es repository tangrams/tangram-es#626 but I think for offline maps this is not very suitable for users to download thousands of tiles to their storage to show offline maps. In refill style I found that there is commented url "//localhost:8080//osm/all/{z}/{x}/{y}.topojson". Are you planning to do some http server on localhost for Mapzen Android SDK which can serve offline tiles? It will be fetching tiles from osm files which contains data about countries/cities? Also are you planning to adjust your API more like to Google Maps API? As I can now see there is much things missing compared to Google Maps API. I am asking this because I need to estimate needed work to adapt new mapping library inside my app. Anyways thank you a lot for this amazing job.

“Include the Open Source Sonatype Nexus Repository"

    maven {

If we want to model the prevailing map behavior then showing a UI component to center on the users current location (and start tracking updates) will also be enabled when setMyLocationEnabled(boolean) is set to true.

https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/maps/GoogleMap.html#setMyLocationEnabled(boolean)

Should include basic instructions for submodule initialization, building the project, running unit tests, also running the sample app.

Once I worked thru the compiler, import, and dependency import issues, I get a black map rendered on all devices and emulators.

I am assuming it's something todo with vector tiles not getting downloaded and handed off, because (on device at least) everything initializes correctly.

Devices test:
1+1 running 5.1.1
Nexus 7 2013 running 6.0.1

Add wrapper for Tangram MapView that automates API key init. MapFragment should be updated to leverage the SDK MapView.

Include a [setMyLocationEnabled(boolean enabled)] in the compatibility layer to automatically track the user’s location using LOST.

Right now the sample app eats up battery if you leave it running in the background

In nearly all the documentation files, there's a line that looks like

mapFragment = (MapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.fragment);

This has line has multiple problems. mapFragment is never declared anywhere, and R.id.fragment does not match the the fragment's name when it's defined in https://github.com/mapzen/android/blob/master/docs/markers.md and is called map_fragment

The correct line should be MapFragment mapFragment = (MapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map_fragment);

Tangram and LOST only for now
