well I have figured out a way to do what I want and I figured I would share it with everyone. You can call up google AJAX search api like so http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/local?v=1.0&q=Palm%20Springs %20CA (among other variations) Take a look at http://code.google.com/intl/it/apis/ajaxsearch/documentation/reference.html# _fonje_local for reference info. But once that first link is called you get a bunch of jumbled text that provides lat,lon,Name of Buisiness ect. So now all that I need to do is write a custom parser which i'll do on our internal servers. Once the data I want is extracted I send that info back to the phone and draw my overlays :)
Hope this helps others that stumble across this. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru) Sent: Friday, September 03, 2010 10:58 AM To: Android Developers Subject: [android-developers] Re: MapView Points of Interest Even with a webview based map (using the Google v3 JavaScript API) you still have to know where the POI's are located. -John Coryat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
