Hi All,
I'm pretty new to B4A but loving the speed at which I can write apps so it's my preferable dev kit at the moment.
I hope someone can help.
Using Warwounds example I can create a googlemaps webview and capture, via callbacks, the GPS coords at the centre of the map. This is to allow a user to find a place via maps and save the GPS coords. What I would really like is to have a search bar in the map so the user can search an address first to get to the general area on the map and then select the actual position. Is there an easy way to add a search bar to the google map webview without getting too much into java which I was trying to avoid in the first place?
Ideally I would just like to open the standard google maps website using the LoadURL function with all the usual options and then on closing the webview (via a button) the last known map centre GPS coords are captured.
Is this possible? Does the question make sense?
Andrew
