Hi guys, New to Android developing, but I do have slight experience in Php and Java, so I'm not a complete newbie. From searching online, it appears that it is pretty trivial to get GPS coordinates out of the phone. My question is if there is any existing interface available that would allow me to take the GPS coordinates and retrieve, for example, what county I'm in, what the closest lake or state park is, etc. I imagine that it will require some kind of interface with an external map server; ArcGis, Google maps, etc. I don't necessarily want to show a map of the closest lake, park, etc, but rather just use the name to extract attributes of the lake, park, etc from a separate DB. I already have the external DB, so it's just a matter of being able to come up with a name to reference the entries. Is this something that can be accomplished, perhaps with the google maps API?
