Android maps application enhanced by db4o

Hi!

Our previous db4o powered sample application for Android was pretty popular so we decided to provide a second one called MapMe.

MapMe basically lets you browse 2D Google maps on Android but also has additional features such as:

  • Zoom in and out
  • Toggle traffic and satellite view
  • Find location
  • Bookmark location to db4o (full map persistence including zoom levels, and satellite and traffic views)
  • Browse list of bookmarks
  • Edit bookmark
  • Navigate to location on map from bookmark
  • Center map on current GPS reported location

Planned for the next version:

  • Track GPS movement dynamically on the screen
  • Full text search on bookmarks

In this project space you will have access to the following:

  • an explanation of db4o persistence on the application
  • complete source code for the Android sample application
  • a video showing the application in action plus a walkthrough of the source code

Enjoy!
