Thanks for the information. Using content provided over an http connection (either from Google Maps, or from any other source like OSM) is something I want to avoid. What I want to do is to supply my own map tiles which are stored locally on the device. The area under consideration does not have to be the whole world. Just a few sq kms (say 30) Looks like gdal2tiles from http://www.gdal.org/ will let me take a large geo-referenced file into smaller files with XML description. I am referring to http://androidgps.blogspot.com/2008/10/using-large-images-with-android-no-no.html (where the author mentions the potential solution he/she has in mind) I found http://code.google.com/p/android-openstreetmaps-navigator/ to be something similar to what you suggest. Looks like the authors have targeted Milan, Italy. A file called milano.xml in the resources is a large xml from OSM Thanks again for the pointers regards.. vk --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
