1) represents the points you want on your ItemizedOverlay -- the push-pins, flags, dots, bowling balls, or whatever you are going to display for various geographic coordinates. If you do not have this, you have a pointless (literally) overlay. 2) is not necessary. 3) is where you tell Android, "Yo, dawg! I gots you a new overlay, yo!" In particular, do not confuse Overlay (representing a layer on a map) and an OverlayItem (representing a point to render in an ItemizedOverlay in a layer on a map). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Training: http://commonsware.com/training -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
