Yes, this is my experience exactly with PressureNet[1]. The SDK is terrible. And they know this too, because I just found the android-maps-utils library on GitHub [2], written by someone on the Google Maps Android team. It's a library of additional, critical features that the Maps SDK should have built in, and it's made by Google! So why aren't these features in the SDK? Example critical feature: Place text on a map. Supported method of doing so is to create Bitmaps on the fly using the drawText() method to compose your dynamic image. Ridiculous. So this new library supports simple features like that, but why isn't it baked into the SDK? Argh. [1]: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ca.cumulonimbu...
