Chapter 10. Worldwide Marco Polo

In this chapter, we will be developing a Marco Polo-like game that uses the world as the playground. Players will have the ability to check in wherever they are in the world and see other players' locations using the device's Geolocation feature (as well as yours) on a map view. Since we want all of the locations shared among all the players, we will rely on Appcelerator Cloud Services(ACS) to store and share our geographic information. This chapter will also cover how to use map views and add annotations to the map.

By the end of this chapter, you will have learned the following concepts:

Integrating a Titanium project with ACS
Using tabs in our application
Using more advanced Geolocation features
Using the MapView component
Adding annotations to a map
Using the latest Google Maps v2 for Android
