Question

I have been looking to implement a map in my website, and have really hit a brick wall – Have read so much, but am very confused. I just wonder if someone could offer a little help?

I have developed an Android App which generates a list of lat/long pairs and stores them in a remote MySQL DB. All I want to do is mark these points on a map, with a little pop up when clicked, indicating some other information about the user.

I have so far looked at Google Maps API and OpenStreetMap, although I really don’t know where to begin! I don’t know whether I should use Google Maps, as I’m concerned about the API query limit? Should I be?

Would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction!

Thank you

Showing some markers and popups isn’t really complicated with OpenStreetMap and OpenLayers:

• simple OpenLayers marker example
• dynamic markers from a database (example result)
