Location Map Viewer vs MAXS Module LocationFine
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Location Map Viewer
The app has support for GPX and KML files, as well as the "geo URI scheme" and popular map services (google-maps, openstreetmap, yandex, ...). It can work offline (without Internet/WiFi) once geodata has been downloaded and cached. Other Android apps can use LocationMapViewer through an Intent-interface. Required Android Permissions: * INTERNET: to download map data from Open Streetmap Server * ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE and ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: to find out if wifi/internet is online to start downloaded geodata * WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (to cache downloaded map data in local file system and to load gpx/kml-Files to be displayed in the map) * ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION: to display my own location in the map
MAXS Module LocationFine
This is a Module for MAXS, which does not install any launcher. You need "MAXS Main" and a configured MAXS Transport to make use of it. The LocationFine module can be used to locate the device using the best possible locate mechanism available (fine location).
