Hi I am working on an app for walk guides and need to display a route on an ordnance survey or open layers map.The link below is for the OS javascript library implementation to draw a route. http://osopenspacewiki.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Create_a_polyline The alternative is using the open layers library see below. http://docs.openlayers.org/library/introduction.html All these are Javascript libraries with no Android SDK's available. The link below is an opensource mobile example. http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/mobile.html With all this javascript you have to use a webview the main problem is with the zoom, the mobile version of openlayers works OK but the webview zoom and pinch actions zoom the web view and not the map tiles. How do you make "pinch" zoom the map and not the web view? Regards,Geoff.
