I assume you are using the "My Location" feature of Maps. Are you also
attempting to use the network location if you don't have GPS? I find it
works quite often. I use the code below in my OnCreate MapActivity and
it doesn't fail very often.
lm = (LocationManager)
getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
if (lm != null)
{
Location loc = lm.getLastKnownLocation("gps");
if (loc == null)
loc = lm.getLastKnownLocation("network");
BUT, to just answer you question, you can use the "onTap" event of your
overlay, determine your Lat/Lons and then use the Geocoder to get your
address information. Really what you are doing is no different than the
hundreds of Overlay examples you will find.

Hey all,
I've been working on an application lately that is using GMaps to
display a location that is stored in the devices database. However
when no location is available (no GPS signal is available) the user
can go through an edit wizard and at a certain point he can add a
location himself. I already have to code to display the stored
location, but is it possible to write something so the user get's to
see a map and when he clicks/touches on a certain area a map pointer
appears and the location is stored.
Is that possible in any way? Is there any good online documentation
available? I searched through this group and on Google but couldn't
find anything usefull.
Kind regards,
Dirk
