Thanks for your reply. Yeah, you are right. I am not grasping the basics and I don't know why. Would it take long to go learn a little java before going back to android? What are some good books for beginners? Thanks. On Aug 10, 2010, at 10:50 AM, TreKing treking...@gmail.com wrote: On Tue,

I'm assuming that the data you want to save includes a geocode (lat/long) and some additional data, such as title. The answer to your question can get quite elaborate, depending on the details. However, I suggest you start with the simplest thing that work. That would probably be see the marker
