Maps

Can I use maps in Mit AI2 with GPS?



Yes you can use maps in MIT AI2.   You have several options depending on what you need to do with the maps, whether you have to have the maps stored in the app or whether the app can access maps from the Web (including Google Maps):

1) Use Google Maps

2) Use Google Static Map API

3) Use a Fusion Table with its map feature

4) Use your own 'flat' map that you will calibrate to allow World location coordinates to the Canvas screen coordinates.

All of these  options work with App Inventor 2

There is a GPS tutorial and a simple way to use Google Maps demonstrated in the MIT tutorials here:http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/tutorials3818.html?&page=2
