I am giving some thought to a mapping problem that has been put to me.
I have a graphic designer produced map that was based on a Google satellite view but now has many additional graphic elements such that nothing now remains of the original image. The area is about 5km east/west and about 3km north/south and fortunately aligned to true north. The Lat/Long coordinates of the map corners are known. The map is quite a detailed .jpg with the need to zoom-in on areas to view the full detail. The graphic is consequently quite large but I tested it with ZoomImageView and the user experience is very good.
I would like to depict the user's current Lat/Long position from FusedLocationProvider on the map but there seem to be several ways of attacking the problem. Is there a ready-cooked map-tile view that might suit the purpose or am I obliged to design and animate an overlay position cursor myself?
Has anybody any experience of a similar project?
