Bug #: 33208
Summary: Switch "near me" from Google Maps Android API to
HTML-based OpenStreetMap backend
Product: Wikimedia Mobile
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: android
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Broken out from bug 32136.
The current "near me" map implementation uses a native Google Maps view. This
has three major problems:
* have to fiddle with code signing keys to get the map to work
* doesn't work at all on Android devices without the Google proprietary APIs
(such as Kindle Fire tablet)
* will have to be recoded when porting the app to other operating systems
Replacing this with an OpenStreetMap-based, HTML-based view would let us port
it more easily, have no limitations, and generally make us feel warm and fuzzy.
