A simple app to show different map views for a gps location, it can show a street view for your current location or one whose coordinates you manually enter and can also give you driving or walking directions from your current location to a destination of your choice that you select by dragging an on screen marker.
It reads a pre written html file into a string and replaces certain parts of that file with app calculated data such as your gps coordinates and screen dimensions, it is not perfect but hopefully will be of some use as an example although I admit I am far from the best programmer in the world so while the code works it may not be finely honed.
It uses three screens, screen one holds basic status information with screen two holding the map data and the third screen offering basic options such as selecting a map type as well a text area for manually entering gps coordinates. Navigation is via either button presses or swiping a finger across the screen.
It was originally intended to be a literal waymaker, as in the user could when out and about mark points on a map (mark their way) and either save these maps or send them to other users but I am not advanced enough with google maps or B4A to achieve this yet but that's the reason for the name
It is a free app I have on the Android market but if the code is of use to anyone as a stepping point for something better you're welcome to reuse it (although acknowledgement of being the original source would be nice ).
