Custom Maps and GPS

Post by marcusbriscoe » Sun Feb 01, 2015 1:29 am

I want to create an app that takes advantage of a mobile device's GPS capability, but rather than load Google maps off the internet, I'd like the app to have a pre-loaded, offline map of my own design. I would like the GPS functionality of the mobile device to show current location, etc., but I want the map to be present, even if internet connectivity is lost.

The map would be restricted to a small area to keep things manageable, and I would like to add custom landmarks to the map.

I am having trouble finding any commentary or tutorial regarding this subject. Does anyone have a pointer to code examples of how I might implement such a project?

Thanks

Marcus
