When Android Meets Maps
summary
Live demo shows Google Maps Android API v2 delivered via Google Play services 3.1, with multiple MapFragments, indoor maps on by default, and animated markers moved by a Handler at ~16ms frames; polylines, polygons with true holes, circles and fill work. Location uses the my‑location layer and Activity Recognition API to tag walking; Places and Directions web services supply markers, localized distance/time and an overview polyline that gets decoded into a route. Magic Camera maps the rotation vector sensor azimuth and tilt into camera bearing/tilt/zoom, using computeOffset and the Android Maps utils.
