If you have been following along with Part 1 and Part 2 of this mini-series you should now have a basic Android application which displays your current location on a map. Not amazing functionality I'll admit but the basis for many location based applications in the Android Market. What will make the application truly useful is the ability to add markers at specific locations, e.g. points of interest, cash machines, checkpoints etc.

In my last post I showed you how to create a basic Android application which would display a map and zoom in to a specific location, my home town. While the functionality was not what you could call awe-inspiring it does lay the foundations for most mapping applications and serves as a good starting point. You can download the code from Part 1 but you will need to insert your own Google Maps API key for it to display the maps.
