Google maps API
Vijay Patil
Next week, I will be relocating to Hyderabad from Pune. I would like
to be part of GTUG there and meet other members.
I am interested in Google maps API and Google Earth. In Pune I worked
at a start up for a year and developed map based schedule management
tool for public transportation companies. Although we used OpenLayer
API (Javascript library for developing maps based applications), I am
familiar with Google maps API.
I would like share some of technical problems that we faced while
developing map based application. Interested people feel free to drop
me a mail or reply to this post.
Looking forward to attend next meet up.

moved on since its inception, partly because of the recession factor
and partly because of our failure to keep it going.
Unfortunately, the google campus here has no role to play in it and
hence the enthusiasm within the group gradually kept on depleting.
Good to have you as part of the group, and your technical prowess will
be helpful to any body coming here with a question. Any other
suggestion from your end is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sachin

This is fine. I have attended many meets ups arranged by Pune GTUG.
Number of active people are usually low, which is fine, as long as
meets up are interesting. Usually GTUGs focus on quality of members
than quantity.
There was 1 day event on Android application development arranged by
Pune GTUG that was attended by 100+ people, but it was sponsored by
local company in a nice hotel and they had lucky draw prize Google G1
phone :-).

Sure. I am willing to share my knowledge, will post something specific
(tutorial or presentation) once I am in Hyderabad next week. My new
job is in Habsiguda area.

Looks interesting, will have detail look next week, need faster
Internet connection, right now using USB modem. For time being, here
are my input on off-line aspect of the application.
Offline map application is very exciting, especially for people in
India, who initially, would prefer mobile apps that work without
Internet connection. Offline map application will need storage of map
tiles on the mobile phone. Is it possible to store all map tiles/data
for a city (like Hyderabad), without exceeding memory limits?
Another question is where do we get/copy map data/tiles for a specific
city, without violating terms & conditions? Some of you may know about
project OpenStreetMap. I have not tried, but know that it is possible
to copy maps/tiles data.
To sum up, it would be interesting to develop a native application
(Android or iPhone), instead f using web app (based on map API) and
provide useful functionality based on map/tiles stored on the mobile
phone itself. Even without any additional feature, map + "You are
here" marker itself is useful. Certainly useful for someone like me
who have in the past spent 200+ Rs. on Eicher maps printed books.
More later ...
