osmdroid is a library to interact with OpenStreetMap data inside an Android application. It offers an almost full/free replacement to Android map objects: MapView, MapController, Overlays (Marker, Polyline, Polygon), etc.
This "OSMBonusPack" library complements osmdroid with (very) useful classes:
- Routes and Directions,
- Points of Interests (directory services),
- Marker Clustering,
- Support for KML and GeoJSON content,
- GroundOverlay, similar to its Google Maps equivalent,
- Geocoding and Reverse Geocoding,
- and more...
Have a look to the examples below, and to the features.
The OSMNavigator application demonstrates the use of these classes. This is a generic-purpose Map/Navigation tool, including a KML viewer and editor.
