Hello forumers,
I hope you will help me with this as I am creating my first ever app!
Right so, the major questions that I have are these: my application is map based. I need to gather big numbers (10+k) of data of specific locations and implement them into the map somehow.
What is the best way to collect data about specific locations?
What is the best way to implement that gathered data into the map?
Any advice would help a lot. Thank you!

Hi All,
Thought i'd ask for help instead of just replying
I have a casio FX-795P personal computer (showing my age here.....) and of course this machine uses BASIC (those were the days.. haha). I have written a couple of short programs that help me in my day job to work out co-ordinates, bearings & distances (im a site engineer). Whilst the casio does a great job of this, i would like a programme on my Touch Cruise to save having to carry two devices round.
Does anyone know of a a free app that does this? Or could someone write one? I can pm anyone with the BASIC programme to help and of course i will test & donate
Many thanks to XDA!!
How exactly do you calculate the distances? i might be able to send you a link to something of that sort..
but please explain EXACTLY what you need

Hi nir36
Thanks for the reply and excuse me for not explaining myself in too much detail at the start. The app can work both ways:
1/ It is possible to work out co-ords for unknown point B, from known A co-ords and the known bearing and distance using a simple equation.
2/ and obviously working out the unknown bearing and distance from known co-ords from point a & b.
ideally the app should also have a section for simple pythag; a2+b2=c2.
The app would have an initial screen with 3 choices:
1. New Co-ords (as 1/ above)
2. Distance & Bearing (as 2/ above)
3. Pythag
Hitting any of 1,2 or 3 above would then take you to a seperate screen where you would input the known data to which the result is then given.
If you are interested I will add the BASIC programs to this thread for your interpratation. I would be very interested in how to get started for writing simple apps for WM devices, as i have many ideas..... Dummies guide
Thanks for your interest.
unfortunatly i'm not a developer.. but i do implement PDA packs for facilities..
i'm not familiar with anything that does that.
that is, of course you can compute distances between 2 sets of coords using a simple GPS app like iGO.. but i realize that's not the point.
there's an app called GPSToday which can get 2 sets of coords on a virtual map and tell you the distance between them.. but i'm not sure if it requires a GPS or not.. you can check it out, it's free.
concerning pythag.. i haven't the slightest clue if there's something out there that does that.
i have one suggestion tho, if you're willing to pay for such an app considering it doesn't require much coding (as i see it),
open a new thread in the Development & Hacking offering a sum of money for developers to develop this app for you.
there are many developers here and i'm sure some of them are looking for cash
cheers.
Nir36,
Thanks for the advice, i will post a thread there. My idea would not need the use of GPS as the results are from simple set equations that just need a couple of variables inputted to get the result.
Yes you are correct in saying the coding would not be involved as i have written it in basic and it would just need a little development to bring it on.
Cheers Nir36.
Hi Mates,
Experts/Developers
Me and my team is developing an App that can provide data and information related to places,pubs,nightlife places,entertainment places stc with all information as we already have huge amount of data with us.
Need your Suggestions & Advice on it.
Like what should be the key points to be kept in mind while developing the app ?
any other suggestions & points if you can high light.
Thanks & Regards
hello all
im very new so bear with me. im wanting to make an app for private use. im needing it to work like a database query, its regarding taxi fares. i need a from and to area then a search button and then a fare will appear.
is this possible with limited skills? and if so what software would be the best for me to do it on - something easy please
thankyou all for your time

Good morning,
Apologies in advance - newbie here with some great ideas that I'd like to put to use in an app but a bit clueless whereto begin. I'm looking at creating an app that will let users create events at pre-defined locations (i.e nightclubs which will contain a bio/info) which will be displayed in a list as well as on a map (ideally google maps which everyone is familiar with). Users should also be able to RSVP to the event.
Any idea what kind of framework/tools i will require for this project?
Any help is appreciated
Kind regards,

Hello everyone,
I didn't ever code anything, but I feel now it's my time to do so. I have one idea, and it's based about interactive map app. My plan is to do map of my city, and to offer any company, object, etc. their location in that map. My city is largely visited by tourists around the world, and I think everyone who owns business would be interesed to find their spot on that map (I wouldn't ask them for big payment). So, as I am rookie in coding, can you recommend me how to start. What map should I use (I need one that I can change and adjust as I wish), how much time I'll need.
If anyone here had to deal with something like this, any suggestion, tip and help would be welcomed.
Regards,
Adin
