Android Question What is the best maps api for an android application (for tourism trails)?

[hectormjc]

I have to do a mobile application for tourism trails for a company, which will have my own paths that i have to draw on the map. I need an API that don't give me problems with licenses and flexible enough to manage the trails because a lot of them are connected with each other and i need to dispose information along the trail like (closest path to a destination, distance remaining, ...)

I did some search (google maps api, osmdroid, mapsforce, arcgis, ..) but i got confused because it seems i have a lot of options so i want to exclude some of them.

you can have look to this post: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/osmdroid-vs-google-maps.50535/#post-318656
there I've made a comparison between osmdroid and google maps. I also work on tourist guides and at the moment I prefer googlemaps - normaly I prefer Open Source or community projects, but in this case - google seems to be better the better choice (but only in this case;-)
