Java: Google Maps alternative [closed]
Question
I'm really tired of using the Google Web Toolkit for accessing Google Maps in Java using Netbeans... Does anybody know of a good alternative providing a simple(r) API?
Any help would really be appreciated!
Solution
OpenStreetMap has a good API in combination with OpenLayers.
Good luck with that!
Driving instructions are included, but since OSM is user-generated, you cannot rely 100% on this information. See OSM-Wiki article "Routing"
OTHER TIPS
If you want another API that has great routing and other mapping alternatives with a J2ME API you can take a look [Shameless plug] http://developer.decarta.com [/shameless plug]
We also do mapping, geocoding, and other cool spatial functionality. We have an android API, iOS API, mobile JS, and a desktop JS along with XML web services.
