I am looking to develop an APP and the plethora of information is overwhelming, but, it's not clear in the areas that I need. I have been searching through the examples, but get more confused as I go.
What I have is a need to capture and document small areas. I am coordinating a fundraising drive, and will be seond door-to--door collectors out to specific areas. I will end up with several dozen, if not hundred, areas, typically covering 3-8 residential suburban blocks. 1. What I need first is the ability to capture those areas. There are some apps out there, that seem to allow point and clicking to get a set of coordinates to create a polyline encompassing the area that I am looking at. What is not clear to me, is the base way of gathering those and storing them somewhere (i.e. in a database or whereever). As each of these polylines encloses an area, it would be nice to have them as a "layer" - I have seen code examples that have things like USA States and Counties, but can't fund any documentation on how to build my own, either from a database of coordinates or point and clicking. And pointers to code snippets etc, appreciated. 2. Within each of those areas, I may have 3-6 collectors. Now in our geography (and many others) it would appear that Google Maps recognizes house lots, and even their street numbers. I would like to be able to count the total properties bounded by my area/polyline (Say this is 200 - I allocate 50 houses per person, I need four collectors) THat is a nice to have, but I can get by without it.
