I have created a game where the user can upload their high score and name to my database, the scores can also be downloaded and viewed. I am now thinking about creating a map that shows all the names and scores of all the players on map markers. I have created a view map button for now, and got the API key set up, the map is working.

Before I continue with this I wanted to know if this was even possible in Android? Can you pass info such as a nickname, score and map marker to a map and somehow store on a server it so that all locations etc can be seen by all players?

Basically a map that displays high-scores.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    My only advice would be to store each persons lat/lon and score in an xml file on the server. When you want to view the map you download the xml file and parse it placing each lat/lon on the map with their score.

    You can find information about Map Overlays here: http://www.androidsnippets.com/drawing-an-image-as-a-map-overlay2

    Also you could create a javascript/php/perl/etc scrip that would take in a users lat/lon/score and add it to the XML file.
