Hello Developers, today I want to introduce the nice and small AndNav-API to you all. With this tiny example you can make any application use the full navigation capabilities of AndNav2 and or AndNav1. This API can be useful for any application, especially all kinds of Piggyback- or FriendFinder-Applications! This is how you do it. Nothing more, nothing less:
// Both(!) AndNav1 and AndNav2 will react!
public static final String ANDNAV_NAV_ACTION = "org.andnav.intent.ACTION_NAV_TO";
// Only AndNav2 will react!
public static final String ANDNAV2_NAV_ACTION = "org.andnav2.intent.ACTION_NAV_TO";
private void sampleNavRequest() {
final Intent navTo = new Intent(ANDNAV2_NAV_ACTION);
// Create a bundle that will transfer the routing-information
final Bundle b = new Bundle();
final ArrayList<String> vias = new ArrayList<String>();
vias.add("50.119539,8.658031"); // "Latitude,Longitude"
// Add as many waypoints as you want here
b.putString("to", "50.133089,8.66729"); // "Latitude,Longitude"
b.putStringArrayList("via", vias);
navTo.putExtras(b);
sendBroadcast(navTo);
}
I think this sample is pretty clear, but please do not hesitate to ask any open questions in the comments  . Note: AndNav2 will contain this interface from the first public release - AndNav1 from the next update! Best Regards,
Nicolas

Hello Community,today I implemented a small but for some pretty handy feature. When pressing the Menu-Button in the Screen where you can choose the way you want to search for things, you can pop up a small dialog where you can directly enter the Latitude and Longitude of your destination. This is of course available for Destination, Waypoints and Home-Location. Maybe there are some geeks like me out there, so please let me know if you prefer hexa-decimal coordinates over decimal - or both? - In the comments Best Regards,
Nicolas

Hello Community,
We are currently considering making AndNav2 (also AndNav1) free. Yes, FREE! But as the servers won't stop costing money we decided to give a try to do on-device-advertising. That means each of your routings will be sponsored by someone. Let me give you all some quick facts on advertising in AndNav2: - Adspace is: 250x60 pixels (width x height)
- 100% user-focus
- No banner blindness
Request Ads & Contact us on any questions:- Nicolas Gramlich (
 )
The Adspace on the G1 (and other devices): 
Rules:- You are fully responsible for all referrings you create!
- We remain full rights to reject ad-requests!
- Forbidden:'unlawful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, libelous, deceptive, fraudulent, invasive of another's privacy, tortious, or contains explicit or graphic descriptions, or accounts of, sexual acts'-content.
Victimizes, harasses, degrades, or intimidates an individual or group of individuals on the basis of religion, gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, age, or disability... an further are strictly forbidden!
It is not yet sure of this business-model will cover our monthly server costs. But trust us, we will love to give away AndNav2 for free Please(!) let us know what you think about this in the comments! Best Regards,
Nicolas Gramlich

Hello Community, what follows is the world map where you can see the countries colored, which have full coverage (strong orange) and only POI / Geocoderlocationsearch (light orange). The map will be updated on the fly, so the the url (if you want to link to it) should remain the same forever: http://www.andnav.org/images/stories/news/coverage/andnav2_world_coverage_live.gif
Best Regards,
Pascal & Nicolas
