Android 3D map SDK getting started

This is a demo project for Nutiteq 3D Android mapping SDK. Nutiteq SDK is a replacement for Google Maps API (MapView) for Android, so it has all your usual mapping SDK features (map panning, vector/raster overlays etc) plus some extras:

• 2.5/3D view: map tilting, rotating and 3D models
• offline mapping (MBTiles, persistent caching etc)
• supports any map projection, which makes it more usable for GIS apps

Usage

To get started see project Wiki pages. It shows how to create a map and add layers on top of that.
