I am using a custom overlay on my MapView and I’m trying to imitate the look of the official Google “Maps” application when using the GPS and as a result I’m looking for the arrow the application uses to show your bearing.
The closest I’ve found is this but it’s too large, its not an animated GIF like the official one and I’m not sure if I’m allowed to use it or not.
Edit: Just found out that is completely useless because I forgot (obviously) gifs do not have an alpha transparency layer.
Has anyone had to use this before? Am I going to be forced to make my own?
You could look in the MyTracks project: http://code.google.com/p/mytracks
Here are the bearing arrows: http://code.google.com/p/mytracks/source/browse/#hg/MyTracks/res/drawable
Are those what you are looking for?
