I 'm new to this stuff (GIS).
I was assigned a project in which i have to implement for the Android platform:
- showing up maps
- showing up routes
- showing up nearby POIs.
Everything has to be offline!!(loaded on the Android device!) with NO connection to Wifi or GSM network.
Please correct me if i'm wrong (as i stated above this is brand new stuff for me – i never did a project in this field, though 20 years in business):
Can the above points be solved with the following tools (respectively)?
-
using OSMDroid (with ZIPped Openstreet maps)
-
using Spatialite (just quickly read through some articles but not sure if i can use it!) – or should i use pgRouting (i understand i have to port it to SQLite – but is it possible?))
-
using "simple maths" (great-circle distance,…)
The above points have to be implemented (as far as the amount of data concerned separately) for maps like Italy, Spain, France, Germany, and Greece.
I need some guidance!! Is there anyone who has done something similar?
Thanks in advance!

This is more of a lengthy comment than an actual answer.
