Well after all your help and having a friend that does android development walk me through the cmd stuff I have the maps working. But now my problem that I am getting is when I do a single location map is regardless of the settings (.01,.02,.0002 etc) it always gives me a full map of the us instead of closer to home. I have been able to work around this sort of by doing a multiple location map and putting the same location twice but with that it is real close when the map opens, like you cant even see the streets around it without zooming out. I was wondering if there is something that I am doing wrong on the single location map that would not let the map start out in Florida and not the hole USA.

Well I don't see any way to edit my posting but I am a dork and I figured this out on my own. I didn't use the link that you provided for the lat and long and the one that I used didn't give as fine a number as the one u provide. like I had 23.2345 instead of 23.234567. It seemed to fix the problem though. ;-)

Not a dork - just a newbie - hee hee. Glad to hear you got it straightened out. I thought there was an edit post link, maybe not. Something else for the mile-long ToDo list. bye for now...

Yea there is one for if you reply to a post, I could edit it to my hearts content but there is not one for the OP.
