The feature list of this example includes:

  • Getting the latest known location of the device and centering the map on it.
  • Showing a marker of the latest known location in the map.
  • Showing an interactive Compass that points to the geographical north.
  • Updating evevry 1 second the Latitude and Longitude of the current selected location and display it on the screen.

Additionally OSM droid stores the maps used in the device under the /mnt/sdcard/osmdroid folder. So we can use the Mobile Atlas Creator (MOBAC) to generate maps and store them in that folder for offline usage.
