Android Google map OpenGL know how - Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics

I would like to know how can I implements the rendering on a similar product as Google Maps Android version.
For sure it is using OpenGL ES 2.0
Lets go to London:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
There are "string to path" , for street names.
There are strings which is just a plain screen oriented strings like zone names or city names.
There are paths which are filled with a solid color: like river, railway
There are paths filled with a color, but is used a border color too.
Lets zoom in a bit and take a look at a street name:
and rotate abit:
Observe the street name orientation is changed.
How can be done those all by OpenGL ES 2.0

New IE Homepage with handy links *finger friendly*

Just something I knocked up in 10 minutes. I got bored of the default Internet Explorer homepage and thought there must be an easier and more "finger friendly" way to do things
Simply unzip, place contents in the windows folder of your Pocket PC, use your mobile web browser to navigate to the homepage.htm file, and set it as your homepage!
Any thoughts or suggestions, feel free to share!
**edit - second icon set added, I think these are more tasteful
Screenshot with the alt icon set:

[Q]Help Changing Selected Tab Color

Does anyone know how to change the color of the selected tab in the Phone app? In the image below, I'm referring to the sky blue color highlighting the KEYPAD tab. It seems to be the same color in the Music and Contacts app as well but I'm not sure if each app has a png/file in the RES folder somewhere that controls the selected tabs color or if there is a universal file/png somewhere that controls the color of all tabs throughout all apps. Can someone please help?

Looks like it's part of the framework, it's a straight verticle line that it stretched through draw9. Take a look in the framework-res.
Found it,
Inside the framework-res, it's "tab_selected_v4.9", "tab_selected_v4.9", "tab_press.9", "tab_focus.9".

Windows Phone "LinearLayout" ?

Hey,
I am an android developer and now trying to port an app from android to windows phone. While the actual language is not the problem, the layouts are. I just don't know, how I would arrange the TextBlocks (I think) like the one in the image?
Is there anything similiar to an LinearLayout? So that I can arrange the TextBlocks side by side and in a vertical list?
Next to the "1." for example are two smaller texts which are stacked vertically. Is this possible on windows phone ?

Check out StackPanel. You'll probably want to put it inside a ScrollViewer (similar to Android ScrollView).
StackPanel is just the same thing, most basic layout. You may want to check Microsoft Virtual Academy for WP developement jumpstart course for more detailed explanation of layouts.

Forum UI fail: quickbar/dickbar covers navigation info in standard browser window

This is how I don't see my place in the forum in default, non maximized browser windows for my computer's screen size:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is how I see my place in the forum in maximized browser windows (not the default options):
I highlighted the difference. Is it called a quickbar or a dickbar? With examples. Just so I know if I want to know my place in this forum I have to maximize the window. Which isn't the default option for desktop browsers and for well designed sites.
I wonder what forum engine do you use and why? I see much more burning issues with this forum, though. Thanks for caring!

GT2e GPS export inaccuracy

I've got a Huawei GT2e watch and have an issue when uploading the exported gpx file to Komoot (and other places, like gpx.studio). The issue being that the tracks look to be offset and shifted to the left. However when I view the tracks in Huawei health they look accurate.
This is the start location of a walk in Huawei health.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Whereas this is the same walk, exported to GPX and uploaded to Komoot.
As you can see, the blue line is the GPX route. I've circled in red on this map where the actual walk started from.
This happens with all the tracks I try and export.
Can anyone help?
