custom-maps

Manually mark current location on floorplans.

Adopted from Custom Maps by Marko Teittinen [https://github.com/markoteittinen/custom-maps]

Modified to use Google FLP and record manually marked locations under Downloads/mapLocalize folder.

The repository has two build variants:

• minimal
  • use existing map files (.kmz files copied to CustomMaps folder) to manually mark locations
  • does not require google api key
• developer
  • includes all functionality of minimal app.
  • can create maps from images that can be used by minimal version. The created .kmz files are saved in CustomMaps
  • require googl_api_key

Custom Maps can use almost any map image as a GPS map. The map image can be provided in JPG, PNG, GIF, or PDF format. If a PDF file is used the user must select the map page from the PDF document, and the page is converted into JPG image before it is used as a GPS map.

The project can be directly imported to Android Studio, but before it can be successfully built, it has to be provided a Google Maps API key, as a string resource named "google_maps_key". This is typically done by creating file "google_maps_api.xml" in app/src/developer/res/values/ directory, and the file should contain only that one string resource. More details for getting a Google Maps API key can be found at https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-sdk/get-api-key.
