I am developing an android based application, my application should display nearby locations,

I already used google API to achieve that, but I am facing a problem; which is in my country not all places listed in Google maps, I made my research to solve this problem, I was told to use openstreetmap in order to add places to the map.

could you tell me if it is possible to use openstreetmap and the steps (in general) to do that.

  • Have a look at osmdroid. Google for the website. – NickT Nov 03 '13 at 21:31
  • @NickT is it possible to use both Google maps and osmdroid?? I just want to add some additional places in my country which are not displayed in Google maps – ruaa.brkat Nov 03 '13 at 21:33
  • Not in the same view. In separate activities it's possible. – NickT Nov 03 '13 at 21:37
  • @NickT so all I have to do is add the places I want using osmdroid and make a specific activity to my country. and rest of the world I use Google maps – ruaa.brkat Nov 03 '13 at 21:40
  • Find the website and have a look for yourself to see if it's appropriate for you. I'm not at my computer at the moment. – NickT Nov 03 '13 at 21:44
