Basic arithmetic (all that is required to convert between geographic and screen coordinate systems for ordinary maps) is typically taught at a fairly young age. Since what you want is impossible (AFAIK) and wasteful of RAM, CPU, and bandwidth even if it were possible, perhaps you should consider just implementing the calculations. As a side bonus, now your app can run on devices that don't have Google Maps, increasing your potential audience. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, One Low Price! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
