Can anyone assist with this? Also, the instructions on the location map plugin states this: "BT_screen_map.java is the Activity class that displays the map. The layout is handled by screen_map.xml. Additionally, several graphic files are needed to show the locations on the map. " Where is the screen_map.xml and how do I obtain the graphics files to show locations on the map? Thank you for your help guys. I am still learning in BuzzTouch U as well.

If I go and create the locations from a remote file, will the app still have navigational functionality for the user? Comments Also, I forgot.

If you are, you should see a file in your download package called instructions-v3-android.pdf. If that's there, let me know, and we'll get you all fixed up!

The only file you have to edit is the AndroidManifest.xml file, which is part of your package. You'll see a section in there for the Google Maps for Android API v2 key. Here's instructions on how to get the key: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start#the_google_maps_api_key You'll need to use the SAME keystore to get the key that you'll be signing your app with. You can use the debug keystore for testing. Once you get the key, plug it into the manifest file, and then follow the rest of the instructions in that PDF file. Mark Comments OK, cool.

I guess I got carried away when I saw the instructions under the plugin info. I just realized I need to do the dataURL method instead of listing the locations on the actual screen, there will be over 100 listings. Thank you GoNorthWest. I did check your instructions out. Awesome! I'm becoming a member as soon as I can! Comments Oh! Okay, I did that already. Thank you! I guess I got carried away when I saw the instructions under the plugin info.
