  • 0

I am trying to insert a Map View in a Java Swing application for the user to visualize and edit his recorded .gpx routes.
I saw in this thread people recommending the MapPanel API, however I can’t find any documentation. I can insert the map on my app, however I need more documentation to understand the API functionalities.
Anyone can help me on this matter? This is what I have so far:

MapPanel mapPanel = new MapPanel();
mapPanel.setBounds(276, 77, 722, 632);
frame.add(mapPanel);

Problems:
1) I can’t disable the information window that is shown in front of the map

mapPanel.getOverlayPanel().setVisible(!mapPanel.getOverlayPanel().isVisible()); //disable the overlay info box
mapPanel.getControlPanel().setVisible(!mapPanel.getControlPanel().isVisible()); //disable the overlay control box

2) Can I draw routes on top of the map?
3) Can I insert waypoints on the map?

Thanks for your help 😉

    Although it is not the answer for my question, I used the the JXMapViewer from the Swingx API to implement what I wanted. Thanks for your answers though.
