Unfortunately, no, I don't think there's a "built-in" method of doing this (sure does make you wonder why they bothered with the "title" and "snippet" options, don't it?)
However, this is asked alot. Search this group and the developer group for "map balloon" or "map popup" or something along those lines and you might some useful information. The basic idea is to add your own view that contains a text view (or whatever you want) to the MapView you have using the MapView.LayoutParams - that lets you place any view at a specific geo-location on the map. Hope that helps some. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking On Wed, Jan 6, 2010 at 4:24 PM, Becca <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to add a label to each of the points on a map that I've > created.
