I'm interested in developing an app that will allow the user to interact with a map. To make the map more useful, I'd like it to show the results of certain category searches for the area. Each category would be represented by a different marker. This would be the beginning state for the user's session.
During the session, I'd like the user to be able to create new markers (for example in a MyMarkers category) and create new categories that weren't originally included. I'd also like the user to have control over which categories are included in their session. So, I'm hoping to write an app that will eventually be able to create some client- side XML files interactively (I think that would be the smart approach but I'm open to suggestions), manage some user preferences for which categories are displayed by default in a session, and allow the user to use the map to chart routes, get directions, measure distances, etc. without it reinitializing itself to some basic state. I've pored over the examples and tutorials on the web, but I can't really find an example that illustrates a reasonable approach. I know some sites that already establish a marked-up map, but this is all they seem to do other than link to some other site for execution of a task (like booking a hotel room). What is the best approach? What features of which APIs should I get to know intimately?
